Although taichu calendar of the Han Dynasty formally included the 24 solar terms in the calendar, it has been more than 265,438+000 years since then. The original written record of the real mango seeds is in Zhou Li, "Mango seeds are planted by grass", at least 3,000 years ago. But in fact, we know that experience precedes words, especially in the agricultural civilization with rice and wheat as the main grain. The appearance of "Mang Zi" was far before the Zhou Dynasty, and it should appear soon with the planting of grain.

"Mang seed" is a kind of crop with awn and should be planted. This is the difference between wheat, rice and other weeds in ancient times. Grains with special thorns are the selection and search of human beings, but the humble ancients are still grateful for the gift from God. That represents the sharp grass tip of harvest and joy, and at the same time endows the stars in the sky with light, so "mans" is a solemn word.

The Zhou Dynasty had complete agricultural knowledge and knew that the grain with awns had to be planted by the wet water. There was a complete agricultural system in the Han Dynasty. In the summer when sunshine and moisture are the most abundant, it is natural to sow grains and harvest precious grains condensed by the sun and starlight.

Therefore, when the sun passes 75 degrees, midsummer will arrive. This warm and rainy season is named "Mangzhong", which is like a horn, scattering the seeds that look forward to the harvest to the endless fields. Let it be, as long as the stars of the sun.

Some people say that this season is not only sowing, but also harvesting wheat. Then winter wheat and spring wheat also entered the most beautiful harvest. However, awn seed is the harvest season in ancient wheat producing areas, but we still have to hurry to continue farming and strive for greater harvest, right? Put away the wheat with awns and sow the rice with awns devoutly!

The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of China's feudal society, with a vast territory and long-term stability. Many new irrigation tools and farm tools have appeared, and a large number of wasteland has been reclaimed. Therefore, the most beneficial thing for farmers is to increase grain output, slightly reduce labor intensity and increase labor pleasure. In the season of ear planting, on the one hand, people work hard, on the other hand, they feel the nature, share the joy, and have greater motivation to invest in hardworking Xia Geng.
