What is the meaning and origin of awn seed?

Speaking of the meaning of the ninth solar term in China's twenty-four solar terms-Busy, it also has another name called Busy, which, as the name implies, is the busy farming season. Mango seeds are directly related to harvesting and sowing, so since ancient times, as a big agricultural country, the season of mango seeds is of great significance. Look at the calendar, there are less than 18 days before the awning this year, which is the beginning of the noon month of the dry calendar. The so-called noon month is from the awning to the light summer, and it really feels like it is going to enter the midsummer. ?

As the saying goes: if you don't plant awns, it is useless to plant them again. "Mang" refers to crops with awns, which is homophonic with "busy"; And "kindness" is a pun. The word "seed" and the word "seed" are both Chinese characters. In fact, awn seeds mean that wheat with awns can be harvested quickly and rice with awns can be planted. It's time to harvest wheat in the north and plant rice in the south.

In this awning season, the temperature rises sharply and the precipitation is abundant, especially in the south, where the air is more humid, which is very suitable for rice planting. Therefore, for the origin of Miscanthus, it is more accurate to say that it is Miscanthus when the sun reaches 75 degrees on June 5 every year, but for ancient ancestors, its origin should be the crystallization of long-term farming wisdom and experience.

? Of course, there are also many traditional romantic stories and legends about the origin of mango in the north and south. For example, the ancients thought that the change of solar terms was related to the will of the gods, so the season of awning was no exception. According to custom, people will sacrifice to the flower god and pray for his blessing.

The most famous is the farewell description of the flower god in A Dream of Red Mansions. "Flowers are unloaded, and the flower god abdicates" is simply romantic. In fact, all kinds of sacrificial activities in ancient times are understandable. At this time, agriculture is busy, meteorological disasters are frequent, and the south and other places are about to enter the rainy season. It is also reasonable for the ancients to hope that the gods will bless them and the weather will be good.

There is also a romantic love story, which tells that Mang Zhong and Buckwheat fell in love, but Buckwheat was taken a fancy to by bully Lu Han. Later, Buckwheat swore not to marry Lu Han and committed suicide by jumping off a cliff. Lu Han drowned. Buckwheat turned into a whole grain crop and returned to accompany mango seeds, while Lu Han turned into a cold dew, still "not doing good deeds", which really conforms to the style of most folklore-no matter what it is, there must be a love behind it.

Do many friends go back to their hometown to do farm work? Finally, I attach a song "Twenty-four solar term song". Look where the mango is!

The spring rain shakes the spring and clears the valley, and the summer is full of mountains and summers.

Autumn dew, autumn frost, little snow in winter and cold in winter.

The two festivals remain unchanged every month, with a maximum difference of one or two days.

The first half of the year is June 2 1 day, and the second half is August 23.
