The seasonal scene of mango depicted in ancient poems

Transplanting seedlings in various fields is the scene of mango planting season described in ancient poems.

Lu You's poem "Time Rain" describes the scene when every family is busy farming at dawn. "Transplanting rice in the field" and "every family has beautiful rice" vividly reflect the scene of sowing grain and harvesting wheat in the canopy season.

Mang seed season

Ear seed literally means "wheat with awn can be harvested quickly and rice with awn can be planted", so "ear seed" is also called "busy planting", which is a typical solar term reflecting agricultural phenology, the ninth solar term in 24 solar terms and the third solar term in summer.

On June 5th and 6th every year, when the sun reaches 75 degrees, it is mango. The temperature of awn seeds increased obviously and the rainfall was abundant. At this time, agricultural production in most parts of China is in the busy season of "three summers": summer harvest, summer sowing and summer management.

During the period of ear planting, there are interesting customs such as "sending flowers to the gods" and "marrying trees" in leisure time. In order to adapt to the increasingly hot weather, the general eating habits will gradually become lighter.

"awn seed" means "grain crops with awns can be planted, and they will become invalid after planting" 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 term "awn seed", and the survival rate of planting has become lower and lower since then. It is the reflection of ancient farming culture in festivals.

Crops such as cabbage, water spinach, peppers and beans can usually be planted in the awning season.

"Miscanthus", also known as "busy planting" among the people, is the sowing season for cereal crops such as late rice. For most parts of China, the dawn is the busiest time of the year. The period from awning to summer to Sunday is the busy climax of sowing, transplanting and seedling management of autumn crops. The folk proverb, "Mang seeds are busy, but seedlings are late", says that Mang seeds are a busy season for transplanting rice seedlings.

In the awning season, crops such as rice grow vigorously and need a lot of water. Moderate rainfall is very beneficial to agricultural production.

The water supply of ancient crops in China depended on the precipitation in the sky and rivers on the ground, and farming was mainly concentrated in areas with abundant precipitation and developed river networks. Until now, farmers in these areas are still engaged in agricultural production according to solar terms, temperature and precipitation.
