In Fu Tian, it is a solar term for young people to throw rice seedlings and pick up children's seedlings.
Mango is one of the 24 solar terms, which means that it has entered an important growth period of summer crops.
First, the concept of solar terms
1. The solar term was divided into 24 equal parts on the ecliptic by the ancient people in China according to the law of solar apparent operation, and the calendar day of each equal part was about 15 days (winter solstice and summer solstice span 16- 17 days), which was called "solar term".
2. Solar terms can help people to arrange their life, farming and diet reasonably according to climate change, and are also important symbols to express China's traditional culture and folk customs.
Second, the significance of the solar term of awn species
1. Miscanthus is one of the twenty-four solar terms, which means that the main growth period of summer crops, such as rice, wheat and corn, has begun. It is also the peak season for summer vegetables such as beans, melons and eggplant.
2. The temperature rises gradually in the awning season, with less rain and more rain, which is the season of high incidence of pests and weeds, and is very important for crop management and pest control.
3. There is a saying in Chinese traditional folklore that "the summer lasts for 30 days", that is, within 30 days after mango planting, people need to pay attention to protect their health and avoid summer diseases such as heatstroke.
Expand knowledge:
1. Miscanthus usually appears on June 5 or 6, and this date will be biased due to the difference between leap years and peace years in the Gregorian calendar.
2. In China's lunar calendar and traditional culture, awn seed has many meanings, such as "awn seed health", which means that attention should be paid to cooling down and conditioning the body at this time; "Mango should drink clam soup" means that mango season is the breeding season of clams, and it is also the most fertile season for clams, which is suitable for eating.
3. The solar term of awn species is of great significance in agriculture. The book of the lunar calendar says, "The bucket refers to the awn seed. At this time, there are awn valleys to plant, and after that, it will be invalid, hence the name." This means that the solar term of canopy is suitable for planting grain crops with canopy; It is also the dividing point of the timing of planting crops, and it will be invalid after that.
4. The folk proverb "If you don't plant awns, it's useless to plant them again" tells this truth. Mango is a solar term for busy farming, which is also called "busy planting" by the people. This season is the time to plant rice in the south and harvest wheat in the north.
