What is the solar term that indicates the official start of midsummer?

Dawn symbolizes the official start of the midsummer season. The literal meaning of awn seed is "the wheat with awn is harvested quickly, and the rice with awn can be planted". The summer heat is the last solar term in summer and the hottest time of the year, so the correct answer is mango.

This season, the awn temperature rises obviously, with abundant rainfall and high air humidity, 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.

Three monkeys in the wild

In some ancient literary works in China, the fifteen solar terms of mango are divided into three periods: the first is when mantis is born, the second is when birds begin to sing, and the third is when the tongue is silent.

It means that during the solar term, mantis eggs break their shells due to temperature changes, giving birth to little mantis; Shrike, who likes shade, began to appear in the branches and sing in the shade. On the other hand, the mockingbirds slowly stopped singing because they felt the climate change.
