Its literal meaning is "wheat with awns is about to be harvested, and rice with awns can be planted", so "Mangzhong" is also called "busy planting".Grain in Ear was mentioned in "The Book of Zhou": "Where the grass grows in the marsh, it is planted in Grain in Ear." It means that crops can be grown in places where there are overgrown weeds. In the Collection of Explanations of the 72 Solar Terms in the Lunar Calendar, Ye Zeng mentioned: "The May Festival is when the grains with awns can be planted." It means that the seeds of awned crops such as barley and wheat are ripe and it is urgent to harvest them. It is also the busiest season for sowing summer crops such as late rice, millet and sorghum, so it is also called "Mangzhong". In spring, we strive for days, and in summer, we strive for time. "Striving for time" refers to the busy farming season of harvest and planting. People often talk about the busy season of "three summers", which refers to the summer harvest, summer planting and summer management of spring-sown crops. Therefore, "Mangzhong" is also called "busy planting" or "busy planting". It is the busiest time for farmers to sow and go to the fields. The reason why Grain in Ear is called busy planting is because the temperature rises and the rainfall increases during the Grain in Ear season. Such unique climatic conditions are very suitable for both sowing and transplanting. Therefore, in agricultural production, on the one hand, the small-season cereals and grains have matured and must be harvested in time; on the other hand, we must seize the time to plant the main spring crops and transplant rice in time. Therefore, some people call "Mangzhong" "busy planting", indicating that this season is the busiest season for agricultural cultivation. There is a folk proverb that "if you don't plant during Grain in Ear, it will be useless", which means that by the time Grain in Ear comes, it is generally too late to sow spring crops such as corn, beans, and cotton, and they must be sown in time. Other crops such as flue-cured tobacco and sweet potatoes also need to be transplanted in time. Otherwise, if the season is missed, the yield will be seriously affected.
