The 24 solar terms are a method of calculating time used by the ancient Chinese to guide their agriculture and daily life, and each solar term is closely related to the climate, agricultural affairs and festivals. Mangseo is the 9th of the 24 solar terms, which usually occurs around June 21 or 22 every year.

Mangseed signifies the gradual ripening of crops such as ears of rice and wheat, implying that it is the beginning of the agricultural harvest, and it is also celebrated as it is the day before the traditional May Day. It is also celebrated as the beginning of the traditional May Day, when Chinese farmers begin harvesting grain crops such as wheat and rice, and start planting summer crops such as vegetables and melons, making it seen as the demarcation point of the summer farming season.

The mango season is a hot time with high temperatures and humidity, and it is also a time of high incidence of various diseases and viruses, so people need to pay attention to preventing heatstroke and keeping healthy. Chinese farmers will insert bamboo sticks or wooden boards during the Mang Season to pray for good omens of a good harvest in the fields, praying that the crops will thrive and ultimately bring about a bountiful season.

As one of China's traditional festivals with rich cultural connotations and customs, people go to celebrations and traditional festivals during the Mangseong period as a way to pass on our culture and history.

The Origin and Customs of Mangseo

The name of Mangseo originated from an ancient legend. According to legend, at the time of mango planting, the temperature rises suddenly, and the grass, flowers and trees on the earth begin to grow thick stubble, which is called "mango". Since ancient times, Chinese farmers have used the term "mango" to describe the ripening of crops and the harvesting of crops, which is why this festival is known as "mango seeding".

There are many colorful customs in China at the time of the mango season. Some traditional folk festivals, such as the Dragon Boat Festival, are also usually associated with Mangzhao. During the Mang Seed Festival, people would insert bamboo sticks or wooden boards for blessings in the crop fields to represent that the crops would grow strong and have a good harvest. The custom of eating fresh vegetables such as cilantro and artemisia is also popular during the mango season, and it is believed that these vegetables can cool and relieve the summer heat and strengthen the body with health care. In addition, there are fishing, sleeping, drinking tea and other various mango customs.
