Festivals in August
Be a farmer one day in Guizhou
No special Festival in August
August is the most busy season for rice harvest.
Farmers cut the ripe grain from the stalk and then, after it has dried, thresh it to separate the grains from the so-called rice straw.
In Guizhou, oxen typically do the threshing by trampling the rice laid out before them. Milling then removes each grain's hull to reveal the part of the rice plant that eventually ends up in our mouths.
Milling both the hull and bran layers of the kernel renders so-called white rice; brown rice retains the bran. After the harvest, farmers turn over the soil, readying the paddy for another season.
