Shefan

The She Dinner (Shefan in Chinese) is always held by people in western Hunan on the afternoon of Chunshe (the fifth Wu day after the Beginning of Spring, the 1st solar term). This day, men repair spring ploughing tools at home, while women and children go to mountains with baskets to pick tarragons and shallots, which are indispensable ingredients for a She dinner.

The dinner should be preceded by a sacrifice to the land gold, as well as some blessing words.
