What does mango stand for?

Mango seeds represent the meaning of crops in the fields. Mango is the ninth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar and the third solar term in summer, which indicates the official start of the summer season. When the sun reaches 75 degrees of the yellow meridian, it is called the mans solar term. The literal meaning of awn seed is "the wheat with awn is harvested quickly, and the rice with awn can be planted". The arrival of "Mangzi" indicates that farmers have started their busy field life. For most parts of China, harvesting in summer sowing in summer, sowing in summer and harvesting in autumn, managing spring seeds, and crossing harvesting, planting and management are the busiest seasons of the year. In the Yangtze River valley, "transplanting rice seedlings and cutting wheat at both ends are busy", and in North China, "harvesting wheat and planting beans is not enough", which is the "tent seed".

Ear seed: "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.
