Introduction of mango varieties
Ear seed, the ninth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms and the third solar term in summer, is the beginning of the noon month in the trunk calendar. The solar terms of awn species intersect on June 5-7 of the Gregorian calendar every year. At this time, the bucket handle of Beidou points to the southeast, and the longitude of the sun reaches 75. At this time, the temperature rises obviously, the rainfall is abundant and the air humidity is high, which is suitable for the cultivation of cereal crops. This kind of food crops, such as awn seeds and late rice, has been planted in this season, and then the survival rate is getting lower and lower. It is the reflection of ancient farming culture in festivals.
It is recorded in the almanac: "The bucket refers to the awn seed. At this time, the awn valley can be planted. After that, it will be invalid, hence the name." This means that canopy solar terms are most suitable for sowing food crops with canopy. The awn seed is also the dividing point of planting crops. Because of the hot weather, it has entered a typical summer, and agricultural planting is bounded by this season. After this solar term, the survival rate of crops is getting lower and lower. Ear planting is a busy solar term for sowing, which is also called "busy planting" by the people. This is what the agricultural proverb "busy planting, busy planting" says. This season is the time to plant rice in the south and harvest wheat in the north.
Weather characteristics of mans solar terms
First of all, awn seeds burn the sky, and it rains constantly from summer to solstice.
"Burning the sky" means that when the sun just comes out or sets in the evening, the clouds are as red as fire by the sun, which is what we call "burning the clouds", which means the weather is fine and the temperature is hot.
The agricultural proverb says that "awn seeds burn the sky, and it rains continuously from summer to sun", which means that if it is sunny, according to the experience of our ancestors, there will be a lot of rain and continuous rainy weather from summer to sun.
The farmer's proverb also says, "The awn laughs all the time, and the straw sandals rot on the summer solstice." That's what this agricultural proverb says, that is, it will rain a lot on sunny days, and even the straw sandals are soaked. During the summer solstice, crops enter the season of vigorous growth, and the water demand is large. Rain is very helpful to increase crop yield.
Second, it doesn't rain in summer, but there are eighteen rivers on the solstice.
The meaning of this agricultural proverb is simple. This means that if it doesn't rain on the day of sowing, there will be a lot of rain from summer solstice and the river will be full of water. After the summer solstice, the ground is heated strongly, the air convection is strong, and it is easy to rain. If it doesn't rain, the probability of rain in summer solstice solar terms will be greater.
Third, it rains continuously, and it is dry from summer to the sun.
The above two agricultural proverbs say that if it doesn't rain on the day of going out, it indicates that there will be a lot of rain on the summer solstice. What is the saying that it will rain on the day of going out?
The farmer's proverb says, "It rains continuously, but it is dry from summer solstice", which means that if it rains continuously that day, it indicates that there is little rain from summer solstice, and the temperature is hot and dry, which is prone to drought.
There is an old saying: "Money can't buy a drought in May, but you can have a good meal in June." The solar term of awn planting is the time to harvest and dry wheat, and sunny weather is beneficial to farmers. During the summer solstice, the water demand of crops is large, and if there is drought, it is very unfavorable for crop growth. So for farmers, sunny days are better than rainy days.
Fourth, the ears are afraid of thunder, and they are afraid of the north wind in summer.
"Leigong" means that there is thunder in the sky, which means that there is strong convective weather, which often brings strong winds and heavy rains. As the agricultural proverb says, "Mangzi is afraid of thunder, and the north wind is afraid of summer solstice". In northern China, the sowing season is the time to harvest wheat. In case of strong convective weather, mature wheat is at risk of lodging, mildew and germination, that is, high yield may not necessarily lead to good harvest, so the thunder of awn seeds in solar terms is not what farmers want to see.
The crops sown during the summer solstice have emerged. At this time, the north wind is easy to cause the temperature to drop, and the seedlings of crops are easy to take root due to low temperature. Therefore, farmers do not want to see the north wind blowing in the summer of solstice.
Five, the south wind blowing, pond full of heavy rain.
This agricultural proverb means that if there is a strong south wind on this day, it indicates that there will be a lot of rain in the next period, and "full pond" means a lot of rain. The south wind is warm and humid, which is easy to cause heavy rainfall.
There is also an agricultural proverb called "Wheat is planted in the south wind, and wheat is waterlogged in the water". For northern China, it's time to harvest wheat. If there is continuous heavy rainfall, top-heavy wheat is prone to lodging, and wheat is prone to waterlogging.
However, for southern China, wheat has been harvested in the awning season. At this time, rain is very beneficial to the growth of spring sowing crops and the cutting of seedlings. Therefore, the above agricultural proverbs are mainly aimed at the Yellow River Basin in China. But on the whole, the solar term is not suitable for rain and thunder.
