The meaning and tradition of solar terms in many species

The meaning and tradition of the solar term of awn seed is the season of harvesting wheat and planting rice.

Ear seed is the ninth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms and the third solar term in summer. When the bucket handle of the Big Dipper points to the southeast and the longitude of the sun reaches 75, it is the spike seed. In the tent season, the temperature rises obviously, with abundant rainfall and high air humidity. Therefore, in agricultural production, we must hurry to plant crops in Da Chun and transplant rice in time.

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. But we should also pay attention to prevent floods, tornadoes, heavy rains and strong winds.

The legend of mango

Mango is also a solar term with a story, which is related to shrike. This story can explain the proverb "When you plant a awn, you start to sing" (it is rumored that shrike starts to sing when it is planted). Legend has it that in Zhou Xuanwang, a wise minister, Yin Jifu, listened to the rumor of his second wife and killed his beloved son, Birch, by mistake, while Birch's younger brother, Bofeng, was sad for his younger brother's misfortune and wrote a sad poem. Yin Jifu regretted it after hearing this.

One day, Yin Jifu saw a bird he had never seen before in the suburbs. Its voice was very sad. Yin Jifu suddenly thought that the bird was the soul incarnation of his son, Birch, so he said, "Birch, if you were my son, Birch would fly and stop in my carriage." As soon as the words were finished, the bird really flew over and stopped in the carriage, so Yin Jifu took the bird home. The name of shrike comes from the phrase "Birch Rauhu". The shrike crows, and then the awn seeds arrive.
