When the Big Dipper points to Si, the sun's ecliptic longitude reaches 75°, and the solar term falls on June 5-7 of the Gregorian calendar every year.The literal meaning of Mangzhong is "wheat with awns is about to be harvested, and rice with awns can be planted", so it is also called "busy planting". It is a typical solar term reflecting agricultural phenological phenomena. The temperature during Grain in Ear rises significantly and the rainfall is relatively abundant. During this period, agricultural production in most parts of China is in the busy season of "summer harvest, summer planting, and summer management". The term Grain in Ear was first mentioned in the Book of Zhou: "Where marsh grass grows, Grain in Ear is planted." Zheng Xuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty explained that "Where marsh grass grows, Grain in Ear can be planted. Grain in Ear refers to rice and wheat." 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 meteorology, Grain in Ear is a solar term between Grain Full and Summer Solstice, which is a transitional period. The summer solstice is the longest and the winter solstice is the shortest. During the Grain in Ear period, the sun will gradually approach the northernmost end of its orbit in the Northern Hemisphere, and the day with the longest daylight hours in the Northern Hemisphere is about to arrive. What is the significance of Grain in Ear?1. DietDuring the Grain in Ear period, it is still the plum rain season. Although there is more rain, the weather is still relatively hot, so the diet should be light, sweet and refreshing. As Sun Simiao, the "Medicine King" of the Tang Dynasty said, "Light, sweet and refreshing foods are usually recommended. Barley koji and glutinous rice are preferred," and "Those who are good at health preservation should eat less meat and more rice." In other words, during the Grain in Ear period, although the diet should be light and refreshing, it should not be too sweet or too salty. You can eat more fish, or some vegetables and fruits rich in water, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., and you should also eat some coarse grains. 2. Work and rest During the Grain in Ear period, the weather will be a bit hot and humid, so people tend to become lazy. If they do not exercise properly, they will become depressed and weak. Therefore, we must maintain good work and rest habits and do some simple exercises, preferably outdoor exercises. Good work and rest and exercise habits can keep people's minds relaxed and happy. In addition, the days are long and the nights are short in summer, and a nap can help recover from fatigue, which is good for health. It is best to drink more water at ordinary times, which is also very beneficial to the body. 3. Other aspects Although the temperature rises a lot during the Grain in Ear period, it is still a bit chilly in the morning and evening, so you should avoid wearing too thin clothes at night and catching a cold. In addition, the weather will be hotter in the afternoon, so it is easier to sweat. If your clothes are soaked with sweat, it is best to change them in time. Do not continue to be exposed to the sun in wet clothes that stick to your skin. The skin is not easy to breathe and dissipate heat, which will make you more prone to heatstroke. You cannot take a shower immediately after sweating, especially when your body is hot. But you must not skip a shower either. It is best to take a shower every day. Do you want to know your own Bazi?
