What should be planted in the solar terms?

"Twenty-four solar terms": "The May Festival means that there are awns and crops in the valley."

It means that the seeds of crops with awns, such as barley and wheat, are ripe and it is very urgent to grab the harvest. Summer sowing crops such as late rice, millet and millet are also the busiest season for sowing. So it is also called "busy planting" and "busy planting".

The arrival of "Mangzi" indicates that farmers have started their busy field life.

In order to pray for a good harvest in autumn, Anmiao Festival will be held all over southern Anhui after planting rice in the awning season. 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.

The awn seed is a symbol of the maturity of awned crops such as wheat and a solar term reflecting agricultural phenology. At this point, the wheat harvest season in Sichuan basin has passed, and the transplanting of mid-season rice and sweet potato is coming to an end. In most areas, the mid-season rice has entered the green stage, and the seedlings are green and full of vitality.

The poem "The east wind dyed 3,000 hectares, and the herons kept coming and going" vividly described the beautiful scenery of the field at this time. In the awning season, the medium rice that has not been transplanted in the basin should be planted quickly; If it is postponed again, the vegetative growth period of rice will be shortened due to the increase of temperature, and the growth period will be easily affected by drought and diseases and insect pests, and the yield will inevitably be low.
