Rice harvest in light snow solar terms

Ask the right person, my family is from Zhejiang, and I planted seedlings in my grandmother's house when I was a child.

I said one season of rice. Now it is mainly a variety of rice in one season, with long cycle time, sufficient sunshine and better taste.

Early April in the lunar calendar and early May in the solar calendar are the peak seasons for sowing. At that time, the wheat had just been harvested, so the seeds should be prepared first, and they could germinate in less than a week. (However, in fact, when sowing, experienced farmers sometimes soak the seeds in water first, and they have already sprouted. The reason for this is that, on the one hand, it can remove the seeds that don't germinate, on the other hand, it can make time to clean up the paddy field, and on the other hand, it can avoid the large water flow in the field.

Before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, that is, between the hot summer and the hot summer, the seedlings can be planted when they grow to about 20 cm (incomplete, in some places the water is shallow, and they can grow to 10 cm). I remember that when transplanting rice seedlings, I would bring a few zongzi to the field every day, so I could eat them when I was tired from work. It is also a very happy life.

The harvest time is around the cold dew solar term, that is, from mid-September to National Day in Gregorian calendar. I remember when I was at school, I just liked to run in the field where the rice was cut. If I get up early, my shoes will get wet and there will be frost on the ground. That is, the rice in the field began to frost soon after harvest.

The above is the approximate time of a season of rice. If you plant two seasons, plant seedlings one and a half months in advance, and postpone them to the light snow solar term later. Generally speaking, if one-season rice is planted in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, there will be about two months of free time before and after the rice fields.

I don't know. Is it clear to hug the master? Because rural areas like to have solar terms to calculate farming days, I have to say so. I'm not used to converting to Gregorian calendar. I don't know if I can get used to it.
