China has a splendid history of about 5,000 years, and many of its cultures have been passed down to this day, and the solar term culture is one of them. So in which month of the Gregorian calendar is the Grain in Ear solar term? The Fortune Teller website has carefully compiled detailed information about the fourth month of the lunar calendar in 2018. If you want to know about the auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, please come to Mr. Shui Mo!In which month of the Gregorian calendar does the Grain in Ear solar term fall?Grain in Ear is around June 6th of the Gregorian calendar every year, when the sun's ecliptic longitude is 75 degrees. At noon that day, the shadow is measured with a gnomon, and the length is two feet, four inches and four points in ancient times, equivalent to 0.585 meters today. At night, the handle of the Big Dipper points to the direction of Si, which is south-east. This stage is generally in late April or early May of the lunar calendar, and is also called the Noon Month. The lunar calendar records: "When the Big Dipper points to Si, it is Grain in Ear. At this time, you can plant grains with awns. After this time, their use will be ineffective, hence the name Grain in Ear." That is to say, the Grain in Ear solar term is the most suitable time for sowing awned cereal crops, such as late rice, millet, and sorghum. Grain in Ear is also the dividing point for the time to plant crops. Due to the hot weather, we have entered the typical summer and farming activities are based on this season. After this solar term, the survival rate of crops will become lower and lower. The folk saying "Busy planting during Grain in Ear" expresses this truth.Wheat is ripe during the Grain in Ear season, so people race against time to harvest the wheat in the fields. In ancient times, people harvested wheat together, thus forming a harmonious picture of "cutting in front and chopping in the back". Now is also the busiest time of the year for people. When the wheat is ripe, they have to race against time to harvest it. What does Grain in Ear mean?"Mangzhong" means the maturity of awned crops such as wheat, which means that the seeds of awned crops such as barley and wheat have matured and it is urgent to harvest them."The May Festival means that the grains with awns can be planted." It means that the seeds of awned crops such as barley and wheat are ripe and it is urgent to harvest them. It is also the busiest season for sowing summer crops such as late rice, millet and sorghum, so it is also called "Mangzhong". In spring, we strive for days, and in summer, we strive for time. "Striving for time" refers to the busy farming season of harvest and planting. People often talk about the busy season of "three summers", which refers to the summer harvest, summer planting and summer management of spring-sown crops. The "mang" in Mangzhong refers to the harvest of awned plants such as wheat, while the "zhong" in Mangzhong refers to the season for sowing millet crops. The homophony of the word "Mangzhong" indicates that all crops are "busy planting"; Therefore, "Mangzhong" is also called "busy planting" or "busy planting", which means the scattering sowing by farmers. The arrival of Grain in Ear indicates that farmers have begun their busy life in the fields. |
