Mango solar terms and the origin of traditional food

Mang is a festival in May. This awn refers to rice and wheat. At this time, wheat began to mature, and the fields began to be filled with the fragrance of new wheat. Rice can't be planted at this time, and the rice fields are already a pleasant new green. The following is the origin and traditional cuisine of mango solar terms that I have compiled for you. I hope it helps you.

The origin of awn seeds

The awn seed is the ninth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms. When the awn seed is planted, the sun reaches 75 degrees of the yellow meridian. The literal meaning of awn seed is "the wheat with awn is harvested quickly, and the rice with awn can be planted". "Moon Order" seventy-two waiting for Ji Jie: "May Festival, that can be planted with awned food." 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. At this time, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China will enter the rainy Huangmei season.

Therefore, "awn seed", also known as "busy planting" and "busy planting", is the busiest time for farmers to sow and go to the fields.

The solar terms of mango in ancient China are divided into three periods: "One is when mantis is born; Second, wait for Peng to start singing; " By the third time, the tongue was silent. "In this solar term, the eggs laid by mantis in late autumn last year, because they felt the birth of Yin Qi, broke their shells and gave birth to little mantis; Shady shrike birds began to appear in the branches and sing in the shade; On the contrary, mockingbirds, who can learn from the songs of other birds, stop singing because they feel the appearance of Yin Qi.

The awn seed is a symbol of the maturity of awned crops such as wheat and a solar term reflecting agricultural phenology. By the time of the awning, the wheat harvest season in Sichuan Basin has passed, and the transplanting of mid-season rice and sweet potato is coming to an end. In most areas, the mid-season rice has entered the green stage, and the seedlings are green and full of vitality. The poem "The east wind dyed 3,000 hectares, and the herons kept coming and going" vividly described the beautiful scenery of the field at this time. In the awning season, the medium rice that has not been transplanted in the basin should be planted quickly; If it is postponed again, the vegetative growth period of rice will be shortened due to the increase of temperature, and the growth period will be easily affected by drought and diseases and insect pests, and the yield will inevitably be low. Osmunda japonica should be transplanted before summer at the latest; If sowing is too late, not only the drought will worsen, but also the temperature will drop in Qiu Lai, which is not conducive to the expansion of potato chips and the yield will be significantly reduced. This is the truth of the agricultural proverb "busy planting".
