The word "awn" refers to the harvest of plants with awns such as wheat, and the word "awn" refers to the season of sowing millet crops. The homonym of "mango seed" means that all crops are "busy sowing". So "mango seed" is also called "busy seed", and it is also called "busy seed" among farmers. The arrival of "mango seeds" indicates that farmers have started a busy life in the field. Heshui Zuo described the weather and busy farming as "naked in the scorching sun and willow pond in the drizzle of plum rain". The south is adjacent to Hezhuang Day, and the wheat harvest on both sides of the river is busy. "
