6、右，太阳到达黄经75时为芒种。月令七十二候集解：“五月节，谓有芒之种谷可稼种矣”。意指大麦、小麦等有芒作物种子已经成熟，抢收十分急迫。晚谷、黍、稷等夏播作物也正是播种最忙的季节，故又称“芒种”。芒种是表征麦类等有芒作物的成熟，是一个反映农业物候现象的节气。时至芒种，麦收季节已经过去，盆地内尚未移栽的中稻，应该抓紧栽插；如果再推迟，因气温提高，水稻营养生长期缩短，产量必然不高。农谚芒种忙忙栽的道理就在这里。Grain in EarThe Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Grain in Ear, (Chin

7、ese: 芒种), the 9th solar term, begins on June 5 this year and ends on June 20.The arrival of Grain in Ear signifies the ripening of crops such as barley and wheat.

12、还没有真正进入夏季以外，大部分地区的人们，一般来说都能够体验到夏天的炎热。位于黑龙江北部的嫩江，在19712000年30年间，最热的一天37.1，就出现在芒种期间。芒种至夏至这半个月是秋熟作物播种、移栽、苗期管理和全面进入夏收、夏种、夏管的“三夏”大忙高潮。三、芒种的习俗食桑椹桑椹，又名桑果，早在两千多年前，桑椹就已是皇帝御用的补品。成熟的桑椹味甜汁多，酸甜适口，又被称为“民间圣果”。送花神农历二月二花朝节上迎花神。芒种已近五月间，百花开始凋残、零落，民间多在芒种日举行祭祀花神仪式，饯送花神归位，同时表达对花神的感激之情，盼望来年再次相会。Pray for good harvestAn Mia
