Around June 5th every year, when the sun reaches 75° of the ecliptic longitude, it is Grain in Ear. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Solar Terms" states: "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.
In ancient my country, Grain in Ear was divided into three stages: "The first stage is the birth of mantises; the second stage is the beginning of the singing of pengs; the third stage is the silence of the mockingbirds." During this solar term, the eggs laid by mantises in the previous year hatch and give birth to baby mantises because they sense the emergence of yin energy; the shade-loving shrike begins to appear on the branches and sings when it senses the shade. On the contrary, the mockingbird, which can learn the calls of other birds, stops singing because it senses the emergence of yin energy.
Grain in Ear marks the maturity of awned crops such as wheat, and is a solar term that reflects agricultural phenology. By the time of Grain in Ear, the wheat harvest season in the Sichuan Basin has passed, and the transplanting of medium-season rice and sweet potatoes is nearing completion. In most areas, the mid-season rice has entered the greening stage, and the seedlings are green and full of vitality. The poem "The east wind dyes three thousand hectares of land, and egrets fly around with nowhere to rest" vividly depicts the beautiful scenery of the fields at that time.
