What farm work are you busy with at this time?

In agriculture, awning is a very busy season, because it is summer and the deadline for sowing. After the awning, it will affect the autumn harvest. In Anhui Province, there is also an activity of offering sacrifices to the Miao people, which also reflects the good wishes of the hardworking and simple working people in China.

Mangzhong does farm work?

The awn seed is the last season of sowing. Anmiao is a kind of farming folk activity in southern Anhui, which began in the early Ming Dynasty. Every season when rice seeds cover the sun, in order to pray for a good harvest in autumn, all localities should hold an Anmiao sacrifice. Every household steamed bags with new wheat flour, kneaded the flour into the shape of five grains, six animals, fruits and vegetables, and then dyed it with vegetable juice as a sacrifice, praying for the bumper harvest of five grains and the safety of the villagers. It embodies the good wishes of our working people to work hard.

Mango astronomical calendar

When the longitude of the sun reaches 75 degrees, the awning season will come on time. Ear seed, the ninth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms and the third solar term in summer, is the beginning of the noon month in the trunk calendar. The solar terms of awn species intersect on June 5-7 of the Gregorian calendar every year, when the bucket handle of Beidou points to the southeast and the longitude of the sun reaches 75. It is a solar term in the turning period between Xiaoman and the summer solstice. The summer solstice is longer and the winter solstice is shorter. During the awning period, the sun will approach the northernmost part of its trajectory in the northern hemisphere day by day, and the longest day in the northern hemisphere is coming. The weather is hot in the awn season, so we should pay attention to heatstroke prevention and cooling.

Agricultural activities of awn seeds

"Miscanthus", also known as "busy planting", is the busiest season for farming. "Tong Wei Xiao Zhu Shen" said: "On the fifteenth day after the full moon, the bucket refers to the third, which is the ear seed and the May Festival. There is a thorn valley to sow. The period from awning to summer to Sunday is the busy climax of sowing, transplanting and seedling management of autumn crops. The folk proverb, "Mang seeds are busy, but seedlings are late", says that Mang seeds are a busy season for transplanting rice seedlings. In the awning season, crops such as rice grow vigorously and need a lot of water. Moderate rainfall is very beneficial to agricultural production. The water supply of ancient crops in China depended on the precipitation in the sky and rivers on the ground, and farming was mainly concentrated in areas with abundant precipitation and developed river networks. Until now, farmers in these areas are still engaged in agricultural production according to solar terms, temperature and precipitation. The solar term of mango is the beginning of noon month in the dry calendar, in midsummer. At that time, everything grew and had great potential. From the beginning of awning to the summer, it is the peak of the crazy growth of everything in a year. Therefore, it is necessary to sow and transplant seedlings before the awn seeds so as not to affect the autumn harvest.
