What do you mean, no sickle in April, no field in May?

"You can't plant a sickle in April, and you can't see the fields in May." The meaning of this sentence is:

If awn seeds appear in April, then wheat can't be harvested because it is not mature yet; If awn seeds appear in May of the lunar calendar, then the wheat will be mature and can't be seen in the field, because after the wheat harvest, corn can be planted one season later;

Mango is the ninth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar and the third solar term in summer, which indicates the official start of the summer season. When the sun reaches 75 degrees of the yellow meridian, it is called the mans solar term. The literal meaning of awn seed is "the wheat with awn is harvested quickly, and the rice with awn can be planted".

Extended data:

There are many such sayings in rural areas, all of which sum up past experience. What we often hear is:

1, "April 8, amaranth plant, four rural plants"

You have to pinch off the amaranth in April. Amaranth is the best in spring and summer, and it will get old if you wait. This is also a good time to transplant rice seedlings.

2. "Lotus leaves are as big as money, and cotton is planted everywhere."

It means: When the lotus leaves begin to grow, it's time to plant cotton.
