Quick answer

Is lễ thượng điền the new rice ceremony?

Some books merge them, others separate them. Song Mai and Quỳnh Trang (2006) write that lễ thượng điền or lễ thượng tân is the new rice ceremony in the ninth lunar month. Bùi Xuân Mỹ (2001) separates lễ thượng điền (when rice forms ears) and lễ thượng tân (ninth month, that is, the new rice ceremony). Phan Kế Bính (1915) records lễ thượng điền as the day new rice is available. Three different accounts, depending on locality and author.
