In which solar term was rice planted?

Rice sowing solar terms are as follows:

Beginning of spring: Due to the relatively low temperature in the north, only 1 rice can be planted every year, that is 1 mature 1 year. Planting time is usually in beginning of spring, and harvesting can begin when it is cold.

Ear seed: The literal meaning of ear seed is "the wheat with awn is harvested quickly, and the rice with awn can be planted". For farmers, the arrival of the solar term of awn planting means that agricultural planting has entered the busiest period, which is the peak period for planting rice and other crops.

Long summer: In the long summer season, the temperature rises gradually and the soil temperature begins to warm. At this time, the sown rice seeds can germinate and grow rapidly, which is beneficial to the growth and development of rice. At the same time, there is abundant rainfall in the long summer season, which provides sufficient water for the growth of rice.
