Grain in Ear literally means "the wheat with awns is about to be harvested, and the rice with awns can be planted." "Collected Explanations of the 72 Marquisates of the Lunar Calendar" says: "The fifth month festival means that the grains with awns can be planted." It means that the seeds of awned crops such as barley and wheat are mature 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 "three busy seasons", which refers to the busy harvest, planting and summer management of spring-sown crops. At this time, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China will enter the rainy plum season. Therefore, "Mangzhong" is also called "busy planting". It is the busiest time for farmers to sow and go to the fields. If they rush to harvest and sow the corresponding crops, they will miss the best growing period and affect the harvest.What season is Grain in Ear?Grain in Ear is summer. Grain in Ear usually arrives in June every year and is the third solar term in summer, so Grain in Ear belongs to summer. At this time, the temperature slowly rises and the sunlight is strong. You should pay attention to avoiding the heat to prevent heatstroke.During the Grain in Ear season, the temperature rises and the rainfall increases. 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. |
