Many people say that farming in the north is very good, as long as you are busy for half a year, is that right?

Zongzi is fragrant during the Dragon Boat Festival, and farming in the north is busy. Farmers in the mountainous areas of northern Hebei depend on the weather for food. They are looking forward to the rain this year. If it had rained in time in previous years, the grain to be planted after May Day would have been in the field long ago, but this year's drought lasted for more than a month, which made them look forward to a light rain at the end of May. Therefore, as soon as the rain stopped, the fields of all households became lively. They said that if the rain came later, all the land would be wasted this year and it would be impossible to plant it.

Bai Juyi's poem is about the people in the north working in the fields when the crops are sown. The beginning of the poem was written in May, that is, when the crops were sown, the wheat had turned yellow and farmers began to harvest in summer. Then I wrote the busy life scene of farmers' families harvesting wheat. Men are harvesting in the fields, and women and children are not idle, busy delivering food and water.

People in mountainous areas envy farmers in the plains. They can sow with a seeder and harvest with a harvester. Farmers in mountainous areas, because the land is on the hillside, cannot drive to the edge of the land. Due to limited conditions, they can only rely on labor and collective cooperation to farm for generations.

In the past, people were very busy every summer harvest and autumn harvest, because there was no mechanized farming at that time, and agriculture was backward than now. Agriculture must be done by manpower and livestock.

In beginning of autumn in June, all solar terms are advanced, which means that the weather turns cold earlier, and the high temperature weather experienced by summer harvest grain will be shorter. There is not enough effective accumulated temperature to promote grain maturity, and the grain yield of summer harvest will be affected. For the autumn harvest, the low temperature weather is also advanced, not only there is not enough effective accumulated temperature to promote crop maturity, but also the temperature difference between day and night is reduced, which reduces the accumulation of dry matter in crops. Finally, the grain shrinkage is not full, and the autumn harvest yield is also reduced. Because of this, people will say that in early June and autumn, both ends are harvested, which is the result of people's observation in the past. Although thousands of years have passed, it still has a great impact on the current agricultural production.
