What does farming season mean?

Seasonal agriculture is a way of expressing the seasonal situation of agricultural climate in ancient China, that is, dividing time periods according to the law of agricultural climate changing with time to guide agricultural production.

Because it can concisely and objectively reflect the relationship between climate and agricultural production, it has been widely used. There are mainly 24 solar terms, such as volt, nine, plum and so on.

According to the basis of division, agricultural seasons can be roughly divided into two types.

One is based on the relationship between the sun and the earth, which is the height of the sun. The solar radiation energy received by the sun at different heights is different, so the agricultural climate is also different, such as vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox and winter solstice.

On the basis of the former one, the other one is formulated after a long period of experience accumulation according to the time when more important agro-climatic phenomena appear, such as summer solstice, heading number, winter solstice, cold solstice after winter, plum blossom on the third day after awning, etc.

The significance of busy farming season:

In China's agricultural production, each crop has a certain farming time and farming time. This season is a good time for the second stage of rice transplanting, so the water needed in the field will increase. If there is drought and water shortage at this time, farmers will be forced to rest.

On the contrary, if a typhoon strikes and brings too much rain, it will destroy the crops that farmers have worked so hard to grow. This is why there is a proverb, "There is a big fall, there is a big death, and there is no fall and there is no death", which means that summer rain has a great influence on the growth of crops.
