What are the solar terms for awn farming?

Abstract: Miscanthus is a solar term closely related to farming, and it is also a very busy solar term. At this time, agricultural production in most parts of China is in the busy season of "summer harvest, summer sowing and summer management". Because people don't have much leisure time, there are not many customs around the world, mainly including hanging wormwood, fighting mud battles, planting seedlings, boiling plums, ploughing festivals and so on. Let's learn about the customs and farming in the wilderness. First of all, the custom of mango seeds

1, hanging wormwood

If you live in the countryside, you should know that wormwood is a kind of plant that can be seen everywhere. It can repel mosquitoes. In May, the weather is hot and the bacteria are not growing well. It's time for wormwood to go out.

People will cut wormwood from the ground and leave it at the door. Others will dry the wormwood, then light it, and walk around the house for a week, and the mosquitoes will be driven away.

Because the two solar terms are relatively close, many customs are similar, such as the habit of hanging wormwood. Mango and Dragon Boat Festival have passed, which is the real summer.

Step 2 fight in mud

Young Dong men and women in southeastern Guizhou hold a mud festival every year before and after planting hemp. On the same day, the newlyweds, accompanied by good young men and women, collectively planted rice seedlings, played with each other while planting rice seedlings and threw mud at each other. After the activity, the results show that the person with the most mud is the most popular person.

3. An Miao

Anmiao is a kind of farming folk activity in southern Anhui, which began in the early Ming Dynasty. Every season when rice seeds cover the sun, in order to pray for a good harvest in autumn, all localities should hold an Anmiao sacrifice.

Every household steamed bags with new wheat flour, kneaded the flour into the shape of five grains, six animals, fruits and vegetables, and then dyed it with vegetable juice as a sacrifice, praying for the bumper harvest of five grains and the safety of the villagers.

Step 4 cook plums

In the south, May and June are the season when plums ripen, and there is an allusion of "Plum Boils Wine as a Hero" in the Three Kingdoms.

Plum contains a variety of natural high-quality organic acids and rich minerals, and has unique nutritional and health-care functions such as purifying blood, regulating intestines, reducing blood fat, relieving fatigue, caring skin, regulating acid-base balance and enhancing human immunity. However, most fresh plums are sour and difficult to eat directly, and they need to be processed before they can be eaten. This process is to boil plums.

5. Ploughing festival

There is a "Plowing Festival" in Yunhe County, Zhejiang Province, which is held on the day of Mango Festival in the 24th solar term of the lunar calendar.

There is a legend in Yunhe Meiyuan: cattle are the grass managers in the sky. Sympathizing with human famine, they secretly planted grass seeds, and as a result, weeds grew wildly and saved livestock, and farmland was flooded with weeds, so farmers could not cultivate. In order to punish cattle, God ordered them to plow the earth until today.

Farming is the seasonal embodiment that farmers in mountainous areas around Yunhe Meiyuan begin to plow in spring. In the past, the ploughing festival was called "Ox King Festival".

Second, what are the solar terms for awn farming?

The seed of awn, which literally means "wheat with awn can be harvested quickly and rice with awn can be planted", is the busiest season for mature and cultivation of summer crops with awn such as wheat. At this time, agricultural production in most parts of China is in the busy season of "summer harvest, summer sowing and summer management".

1, summer harvest is busy, because the wheat is mature, in case of continuous rain or even hail disaster, the wheat can not be harvested and threshed in time, resulting in lodging, grain dropping, germination before cutting and rotten wheat fields. We should seize every favorable opportunity to cut, transport and fight.

2. Because the growth period of summer sowing crops such as summer soybean and summer corn is limited, I am busy sowing in summer. In order to ensure the harvest before autumn frost, it is necessary to sow and plant early to obtain higher yield.

3. Busy management in summer is due to more and more rain and higher temperature after solar terms. Crops planted in spring, such as cotton and spring corn, have reached the peak period of water demand, fertilizer demand and growth, and not only need topdressing and water replenishment, but also weed control and insect prevention. Otherwise, diseases and insect pests, drought, waterlogging, hail and other disasters will occur at the same time or alternately, and the spring sowing crops will reduce production lightly, and the crops will be completely harvested.

If we use a ballad to summarize the characteristics of agricultural activities in the north and south of China, it is: "The summer solstice wheat is yellow, so fight, harvest and put into storage." Summer sowing crops should be planted quickly and field management should keep up. It is the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River. Heavy rain and hail should be prevented. "
