What is the last sentence of planting melons and beans?

Before and after Qingming, plant melons and beans.

This is an agricultural proverb; Tomb-Sweeping Day is closely related to agricultural production. As soon as Qingming arrives, the temperature rises and the rainfall increases, which is a good time for spring ploughing and sowing.

Therefore, there is an agricultural proverb that "before and after Qingming, point melons and plant beans" and "planting trees is not as good as Qingming".

Tomb-Sweeping Day originated from the ancestral belief and the custom of worshipping spring in ancient times, which has both natural and humanistic connotations. It is both a natural solar term and a traditional festival. Grave-sweeping and outing are the two major themes of Tomb-Sweeping Day etiquette and customs, and these two traditional themes have been passed down from ancient times to the present in China.
