When is 2022?

The year 2022 is June 6, 2022 at 00: 25: 37.

Mang seed, also called busy seed, is the ninth solar term among the 24 solar terms, the third solar term in summer, and the beginning of noon month in the dry calendar. The yellow meridian of the sun reaches 75 degrees, which is celebrated on June 5-7 of the Gregorian calendar every year.

Mango seeds mean that mango crops can be planted. This season, the temperature rises obviously, the rainfall is abundant and the air humidity is high, which is suitable for planting cereal crops such as late rice. Agricultural planting is bounded by the solar terms of awn species, and the survival rate of planting has become lower and lower since then. It is the reflection of ancient farming culture in festivals.

Mang seed custom

Flower-sending God: Flower-welcoming God is held at the flower show on the second day of the second lunar month. It's nearly May, and the flowers are beginning to fade. People often hold a ceremony of offering sacrifices to the flower god on Ear Seed Day to send the flower god back to his place, and at the same time express gratitude to the flower god, hoping to meet again next year.

This custom no longer exists today, but we can get a glimpse from the twenty-seventh chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions by the famous novelist Cao Xueqin: "Those girls (in the Grand View Garden) are all tied up with colored threads, or woven with petals and willow branches, or stacked with brocade and tulle. These things are tied to every tree and every flower. Embroidered ribbons are flying and flowers are in full bloom in the garden. What's more, these people are all peaches and apricots, and the shame of the orioles. "

The "thousand" in the "thousand buildings" is a shield; Luo, Jing and Zhuang are all ancient flags. At the top of Luo flagpole is a yak tail flag. Jing is similar to Luo, except that it is decorated with colorful folded feathers, and the building shape is umbrella-shaped. It can be seen that the mango festival of a large family is a lively scene for the flower god to bid farewell.
