Solution: Which solar term is the mango?

As one of the twenty-four solar terms, "awn crops such as barley and wheat are beginning to mature and will be harvested soon. Late rice, millet and millet are the busiest seasons for sowing." In such a busy season, it is awn seed. Next, solve the problem with me: What is the solar term of mango?

The awn seed is the ninth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms, and it is also the end of Mitsuki in the dry calendar and the beginning of the afternoon month. The time point is around June 6 of the Gregorian calendar every year, and the sun reaches 75 degrees of the yellow meridian. The date of mango seeds in the lunar calendar is not fixed, it is around the first day of May every year, because the lunar calendar is the lunar calendar. In North China, there is a saying that "the wheat is covered first in April and then in May", which is caused by the lunar calendar algorithm. According to the lunar calendar, a year is actually 344 to 345 days. This is10-1day less than the number of days the earth goes around the sun, so it needs to leap every three years (sometimes every two years) to make up for the shortage of days. In leap months, the solar term is either advanced or postponed, so sometimes it is in April and sometimes in May. Farmers in China know very well that crops should be planted early, because spring begins in early April and the solar terms are advanced. They should be planted before the crops are planted in May and after the solar term.

"Twenty-four solar terms": "The May Festival means that there are awns and crops in the valley." It means that the seeds of crops with awns, such as barley and wheat, are ripe and it is very urgent to grab the harvest. Summer sowing crops such as late rice, millet and millet are also the busiest season for sowing, so they are also called "awn seeds". Spring competes for the sun, and summer competes for time. "Race against time" refers to the busy farming season at this time. People often say that the "three summers" are busy farming seasons, that is, summer management is busy with summer harvest, summer sowing and spring sowing crops.

The word "awn" of awn seed refers to the harvest of awned plants such as wheat, and the word "species" of awn seed refers to the season of sowing millet crops. The homonym of "awn seed" means that all crops are "busy sowing". Therefore, "awn seed" is also called "busy planting" and "busy planting", which is the spread and sowing of farmers' friends. The arrival of "Mangzi" indicates that farmers have started their busy field life.
