It means that the seeds of crops with awns, such as barley and wheat, are ripe and it is very urgent to grab the harvest. Summer sowing crops such as late rice, millet and millet are also the busiest season for sowing, so they are called "awn seeds". Spring competes for the sun and summer competes for time. "Fighting for time" refers to the busy harvest of crops at this time. People often say that the "three summers" are busy farming seasons, that is, summer management is busy with summer harvest, summer sowing and spring sowing crops. The arrival of "Mangzi" indicates that farmers have started their busy field life.
