Hua Xinfeng and farming in busy farming season;

Twenty-four o'clock in Hua Xinfeng not only reflects the natural phenomena of bloom and seasons, but more importantly, it can be used to master the farming season and arrange farming. There are many folk proverbs reflecting phenology, such as: "Peach blossoms bloom, swallows come, prepare grain for farming", "cuckoo, sow grain and cut wheat" and so on.

Flowers and trees control the four seasons, birds sing to announce farming season, and flowers, trees, birds and animals in nature all move according to certain seasons, and their activities are closely related to climate change. Therefore, their activities have become the symbol of seasons. The buds, leaves, flowering, fruiting, yellow leaves and fallen leaves of plants, and the dormancy, recovery, singing, reproduction and migration of animals are all related to climate change.
