"The wind blows the wheat waves, and you know that summer is busy", which is a beautiful poem describing the "mango species" in the 24 solar terms.

Mango is the ninth of the 24 solar terms. The literal meaning of awn seed is that wheat with awn can be harvested quickly, and rice with awn can be planted. Generally speaking, the awning is a busy season, and it is also a season of harvesting fruits and sowing hope.

The solar term of awn species is of great significance in agriculture. The book of the lunar calendar says, "The bucket refers to the awn seed. At this time, there are awn valleys to plant, and after that, it will be invalid, hence the name." This means that the awn solar term is suitable for planting grain crops with awns, and it is also the dividing point for planting crops. After this solar term, it will be invalid. The folk proverb "It's no use planting awns again" tells this truth.
