The ear does not plant a word.

The next sentence is: when the summer solstice comes, water the fields and plant seedlings after the rain.

When the summer solstice comes, water the fields: this is an agricultural proverb, which refers to the fifteenth day of the sixth lunar month, also known as the solar term of Mang, which is an important period for crop growth. This time is the arrival of summer, with high temperature, long sunshine and strong evaporation, and crops in the field are easy to wither. Therefore, farmers in abel tamata should water their crops in time to ensure the normal growth and harvest of crops. This is also the origin of Mang solar terms.

The summer solstice is the 10 solar term among the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar, and it is also the longest day and the shortest night in a year. After the arrival of the summer solstice, the weather began to get hot, and the high temperature and dry weather also brought great threats to the growth of crops. When summer solstice comes, farmers will concentrate on fertilization and watering to ensure that crops have enough water and nutrients to cope with the high temperature in summer.

No awning, no seedlings after rain: it is a planting season song in the south, which is often used to guide the transplanting time of rice. Mang solar term is the ninth solar term in summer, and there is usually more rainfall in the south, so this weather condition is a good time for transplanting rice seedlings.

During the solar term, the temperature rises and the rainfall increases, which is equivalent to providing sufficient water and nutrients for crops. Therefore, "sticking seedlings after rain" refers to using the moisture after heavy rain to stick seedlings and grass on the soil in the field to speed up the growth of plants.

In this process, farmers should soak the seedlings in water for a period of time to make them have certain toughness, and then plant them after drying, which can improve efficiency and reduce losses.

Fertilizing in the field before awning can provide more nutrients for crops, thus increasing yield. Fertilizing in the awning season can better make crops absorb nutrients and promote growth. The phrase "no awning, no seedlings after rain" has very important agricultural significance, and it is also a summary of the wisdom of farmers in the south.

The origin of awn seeds

Mango is one of the twenty-four solar terms. It is celebrated every year on the fifth or sixth day of the sixth lunar month when the sun reaches 75. The significance it represents is a sign of the maturity of summer grain and a very important period in Chinese traditional agricultural culture. Ear seed is a cultural expression accumulated in the solar terms formed around farming culture, and its origin has two versions:

One theory is that in ancient China, the time of planting Miscanthus was the time when Miscanthus began to grow. Miscanthus is a food crop, so the ancients began to be busy collecting and storing food in this solar term. The solar term of mango not only represents the beginning of sowing season, but also represents the hope of immediate harvest and becomes a symbol of good luck for farmers.

Another way of saying this is that in the ancient Qin and Han dynasties, awn seed was an important period for crops to mature. In the awning season, the temperature is higher than the previous solar terms and there is plenty of rain. At this time, the crops planted in the field began to grow faster and the fruits were gradually full. When they are mature, they will naturally fall and become the targets of harvesting.

In this solar term, people began to sow grains and transplant seedlings, hoping for a bumper harvest in the fields in the near future. The seeds of these two kinds of awns have a very important agricultural cultural background and are deeply integrated into the traditional culture of China.
