If you want to know more details, please follow Shui Mo Network!What is the meaning of the Grain in Ear solar term?Grain in Ear is the time when rice is planted in the south and wheat is harvested in the north. The words "plant" and "harvest" reveal the important events in life, which are planting and reaping. If you plant, you will reap. If you plant well, you will reap well.The climatic characteristics of Grain in Ear are significantly increased temperature and abundant rainfall. Such unique climatic conditions are very suitable for both sowing and transplanting. Therefore, in agricultural production, we must seize the time, rush to plant major spring crops, and transplant rice in time. Therefore, people call "Mangzhong" "busy planting", which indicates that this season is the busiest season for agricultural cultivation. There is a folk proverb that "If you don't plant during Grain in Ear, it will be useless", which means that this season is already a late sowing period and you have to rush to sow. When the Grain in Ear season comes, rice should be planted as soon as possible; if it is delayed, the yield will inevitably be low because the temperature will rise, the rice's vegetative growth period will be shortened, and the rice will be more susceptible to drought and pests and diseases during the growth stage. In most areas, Grain in Ear is the busiest time of the year for farming, as people are not only busy with harvesting, but also with sowing. What solar term comes after Grain in Ear?After Grain in Ear comes the Summer Solstice.The summer solstice is the earliest solar term to be determined among the 24 solar terms. In the seventh century BC, our ancestors used a gnomon to measure the sun's shadow and determined the summer solstice. According to the Kezunxiandu Manuscript, "When the sun reaches its northernmost point, the day is at its longest, and the shadow is shortest, it is called the summer solstice. 'Zhi' means "extreme." On the summer solstice, the sun's position directly above the ground reaches the northernmost point of the year, almost directly above the Tropic of Cancer (23°26' north latitude). It is the day with the longest daylight throughout the year in all parts of the Northern Hemisphere, and the higher the latitude, the longer the daylight. For example, the day length in Haikou, Hainan is a little over 13 hours, in Hangzhou it is 14 hours, in Beijing it is about 15 hours, and in Mohe, Heilongjiang it can reach more than 17 hours. North of the Arctic Circle, the sun stays above the horizon all day, making it the day with the longest polar day in the Northern Hemisphere. At the same time, for areas on and north of the Tropic of Cancer, the summer solstice is also the day when the sun is highest at noon in the year. In the Beijing area, the sun's altitude at noon on the summer solstice reaches 73°32′. On this day, the Northern Hemisphere receives the most solar radiation, nearly twice as much as the Southern Hemisphere. |
