rural activity

The solar term "awn seed" is of great significance in agriculture and guides agriculture. The meaning of awn seed is: "Food crops with awns can be planted, and then they will fail." The climatic characteristics of Miscanthus seeds are significant temperature rise and abundant rainfall, and the unique climatic conditions are very suitable for sowing and transplanting.

Agricultural planting is bounded by the season of "awn seed", and then the survival rate of sowing is getting lower and lower. Therefore, when it comes to "ear planting", in agricultural production, we must seize the time to plant crops in Da Chun and transplant rice in time.

If it is postponed again, the vegetative growth period of rice will be shortened due to the significant increase of the solar term temperature of "Miscanthus", and the growth period will be easily affected by drought and diseases and insect pests, and the yield will inevitably be low at autumn harvest.

Folk call "awn seed" busy seed, and agricultural proverb says "awn seed is busy, busy seed". It shows that this time is already the busiest season for agricultural planting. There is a folk proverb called "it's no use planting awns", which means that this season is the late sowing period, so we must pay close attention to sowing. Farming production is closely related to the rhythm of nature, and it is the reflection of ancient farming culture in festivals.
