What is the date of mango seeds?

The specific time of the year is not fixed.

But it is about June 5 to June 7 of the Gregorian calendar every year. Mango is the ninth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms, the third solar term in summer, and the beginning of the noon month in the dry calendar. For the third time, when the yellow meridian of the sun reaches 75, it is mango.

"awn seed" means "grain crops with awns can be planted, and they will become invalid after planting" This season, the temperature rises obviously, the rainfall is abundant and the air humidity is high, which is suitable for planting cereal crops such as late rice. Agricultural planting is bounded by the solar term "awn seed", and the survival rate of planting has become lower and lower since then. It is the reflection of ancient farming culture in festivals.

The climatic characteristics of the solar term of awn species are a significant increase in temperature, abundant rainfall and high air humidity. During this period, high temperature weather is frequent, humidity is high and the weather is sultry. Whether in the south or the north, there is the possibility of high temperature weather. In terms of solar terms, the southeast monsoon rain belt in South China is stable, and the south of the Yangtze River enters Meiyu. The northern part of China has not yet entered the rainy season.

Mango's statement

There are two versions of the source of the word "Miscanthus". First, it refers to the last ploughing before autumn ploughing. Farmers turn up the "Miscanthus" stored in the soil for farming, so the solar term is named "Miscanthus".

On the other hand, it is said that there has been a legend of the agricultural proverb "Grain Rain is not short of crops". As the temperature rises at this time, plants grow vigorously and vegetation grows unevenly. In order to prevent too much grass from affecting new crops, it is necessary to cut or clean weeds in time, which is also the source of the solar term name.

"Mangzhong" is not only an agricultural solar term, but also a traditional cultural festival. There are many folk customs and activities related to "Mangzi", such as offering sacrifices to Saturnalia, eating mangoes and hanging mugwort. These customs all mean auspicious harvest.

In modern times, with the improvement of people's living standards and the acceleration of urbanization, these traditional customs are gradually indifferent, but the existence of "Miscanthus" as a solar term is still deeply imprinted in people's lives.
