Introduction of the ninth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms

1, Miscanthus species, also known as "busy species", is the ninth of the 24 solar terms, the third in summer and the beginning of the afternoon of 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. Mang seed means "food crops with awns 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 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.

2. The solar term of awn species is of great significance in agriculture and guides 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 solar term of canopy is suitable for planting grain crops with canopy; It is also the dividing point of the timing of planting crops, and it will be invalid after that. The folk proverb "It's no use planting awns again" tells this truth. Mango is a solar term for busy farming, which is also called "busy planting" by the people. This season is the time to plant rice in the south and harvest wheat in the north.
