History of Spring Plowing Origin Ancient China was founded on agriculture, and agriculture paid attention to the seasonal seasons; spring plowing, summer plowing, autumn harvesting, and winter storage were all shifted by the seasons. The general public could only rely on the changes in the weather to determine the change of seasons, while sorcerers with knowledge of astronomy were able to determine the change of seasons with the help of observing celestial phenomena. In ancient times, the observation of celestial phenomena was usually carried out when the sky was just getting dark (called "fainting sight"), and the star being observed was called the "Great Fire", the Western astronomical term for Scorpio a. In ancient times, the "Great Fire" coincided with the springtime, when the star was at twilight. In ancient times, the "Great Fire" was observed at the time of the spring equinox, when the star was located in the center of the south, and it was announced to the public that the spring equinox had arrived, and it was time for spring plowing and planting. The ancestors of the Chu people were the ancient Fire King, and this is the origin of the name Shenrong and the first duty of Huozheng. Spring Plowing Origin In ancient times, agriculture was practiced by slash-and-burn, and the year's agricultural work began with the burning of the fields, which the people were nervous about and excited about, and regarded as a prelude to a good harvest, and had to hold a joyful and grand ceremony. Rites of Passage - Suburban Special Adoption" said: "the fire in the spring, for burning." Said is the ancient fire burning ceremony. Who will lead the fire, which has been properly preserved for the winter, into the field to light the first fire for burning the barren land? Of course, it was the responsible fire chief. In the fall, after the fire was dimly seen, the ceremony of "Nabari" was held to collect the kindling. However, in ancient times, the fire chief was not an actual official engaged in agriculture, but a religious sorcerer engaged in rituals. Ancient people on the regular operation of the sky is incredible, always feel that there is a "hand of God" in the manipulation of nature and personnel activities, the operation of the fire is no exception. Moreover, the natural world has wind and rain, thunder and lightning, the world has a good or bad luck, in order to pray to God to give the world to the eternal well-being, so there is the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky. Sacrifice to heaven to kill animals, tribute to the pile of firewood on top of the firewood will be lit, so that the charred aroma of meat along with the smoke floating up to the clouds, the emperor smelled the earthly fire and the sweet smell of meat, will be merciful, to give the world of man to peace and happiness. The task of the fire chief is to set up, light and guard the pile of firewood for the heavenly sacrifice, and to complete the ritual of prairie offering.

With spring thunderstorms and drizzling rain, the grass and trees are newborn, and the village children shepherd in the rain, the farmers sow their seeds and their hopes for the year. Precautions In the busy season of sowing seedlings, should pay attention to the following matters: to put a good seed disinfection off. Specific methods are: ① pharmaceutical treatment before the sun, seed selection, in order to enhance the seed germination potential, improve the seed germination rate. ② 25% mimosine seed disinfection: first of all, the seeds with water pre-soak 12 hours, filtered and immersed in 3000-4000 times mimosine solution, that is, a 1 ml of 25% mimosine to water 6-8 pounds, can be immersed in about 6 pounds of rice seeds, soak the seeds 24 hours after taking out the seeds, do not have to wash can be directly sown or germinated.

At that time **** there were ten thousand people to watch this scene, the university scholar Li Guangdi special for the text Le stone, to record its events. Climatic conditions "To the hibernation festival, the hoe does not stop." To the hibernation, most of China entered the spring plowing season. The season is really not waiting for anyone, a moment is worth a thousand pieces of gold. The average temperature in most areas of the hibernation festival is generally 12 ℃ to 14 ℃, more than 3 ℃ higher than the rainy season, is the fastest temperature rise throughout the year. The number of hours of sunshine has also increased significantly. However, because of the alternation of warm and cold air, the weather is unstable and the temperature fluctuates greatly. Southeast China Yangtze River Valley region, most years during the stunning temperature stabilized above 12 ℃, conducive to rice and corn sowing, the rest of the region is often more than three consecutive days of average daily temperature of 12 ℃ below the occurrence of cold weather, can not blindly early sowing. Although the temperature rises rapidly during the hibernation period, the amount of rainfall is limited. Spring plowing The rainfall in central and northwestern China during the hibernation period totaled only about 10 millimeters, following the usual winter dryness, spring drought often began to show its head. This is the time when wheat is pregnant, rape flowering are in the period of high water demand, sensitive to the water requirements, spring drought often become an important factor affecting the yield of the spring. Tree planting should also take into account this climatic feature, after planting to be diligent in watering, and strive to improve the survival rate of saplings. Spring thunder, warm weather conditions conducive to the occurrence and spread of a variety of pests and diseases, field weeds also sprouted one after another, should be timely and good pest control and plowing and weeding. "Peach blossom, swine fever", poultry and livestock epidemic prevention should also pay attention to. Spring plowing taboo Phosphorus powder, bone meal and other insoluble phosphate fertilizer can not be mixed with grass ash, lime ammonia, lime and other alkaline fertilizers. Otherwise, it will neutralize the organic acids within the soil, making the insoluble phosphate fertilizer more difficult to dissolve, and the crop can not be absorbed and used. Calcium-magnesium phosphate fertilizer and other alkaline fertilizers can not be mixed with ammonium ammonia fertilizer. Because alkaline fertilizers and ammonium ammonia fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium chloride, etc., will lead to and increase the loss of ammonia volatilization, reduce the effectiveness of fertilizer. Livestock manure and urine and other agricultural fertilizers can not be mixed with calcium and magnesium phosphate fertilizer, grass ash, lime and other alkaline fertilizers. Because the main component in human and animal manure and urine is nitrogen, if mixed with strong alkaline fertilizer, it will be neutralized and ineffective. Chemical fertilizer can not be mixed with rhizobium fertilizer and other bacterial fertilizers. Because chemical fertilizer has strong corrosive, volatile and water absorption, if mixed with bacterial fertilizer, it will kill or inhibit the living bacteria, making the fertilizer ineffective. Ammonia can not be mixed with human urine, grass ash, potash, ammonium phosphate, potassium chloride, urea, ammonium carbon. Ammonium carbon cannot be mixed with grass ash, human feces, potash. Ammonium sulfate cannot be mixed with grass ash and ammonium carbon. Ammonium nitrate can not be mixed with wood ash, ammonia and so on. If the fertilizers cited above are mixed, they will cause acid-base neutralization reaction and reduce the effectiveness of fertilizer. Calcium superphosphate can not be mixed with grass ash, lime nitrogen, lime and other alkaline fertilizers. Because calcium superphosphate contains free acid, acidic reaction, and the above alkaline fertilizer containing more calcium, if the two are mixed, will cause acid-base reaction, reduce the effectiveness of the fertilizer, but also make the calcium fixation of phosphorus, resulting in a "lose-lose".
