It is an ancient Chinese tradition to cherish grain. In ancient China, farming spurred the development of civilization so people regarded grain as a God. The ancient people firmly believed that "food is the most important thing for the people". The earth God "She" and the grain God "Ji" were the earliest deities worshipped by our ancestors and the patron deity of the soil and harvests was called "Sheji".
