What festival is the awn seed?

Spike seed is one of the 24 solar terms. The word "awn" of awn seed refers to the harvest of awned plants such as wheat, and the word "species" of awn seed refers to the season of sowing millet crops.

The homonym of "Mang" means that all crops are "busy sowing". So "awn seed" is also called "busy seed", and it is also called "busy seed" among farmers. The arrival of "Mangzi" indicates that farmers have started their busy field life. Heshui Zuo's poem "Mangzhong" said that the weather and busy farming at that time were that the sun was burning and the plum rains were falling. The crops around Nanling are strong and the wheat harvest on both sides of the river is busy.

It is rainy along the river in the tent season, and the Huanghuai Plain is about to enter the rainy season. Southwest China has also entered the rainy season of the year since June. At this time, the hail weather in the southwest and western plateau areas began to increase. During this period, except for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the northernmost part of Heilongjiang, people in most areas can generally feel the heat in summer.
