Xiaoman is the season suitable for rice planting, and it is also the time to harvest rape in the Jiangnan area. Xiaoman health should do a good job of "heat and humidity", especially in the southern region.

1. [Characteristics of the Festival]

Xiaoman waits for three waits: one waits for the bitter vegetable show, the second waits for the grass to die, and the third waits for the wheat autumn solstice. The flowers that bloom in this solar term include poppy, soapberry, Nantian bamboo, leaf boxwood, jujube and so on. In the first 5 days, the bitter herbs have grown very luxuriantly; After 5 days, under the strong sunlight, the thin and soft grass began to die; After another 5 days, the wheat has produced heavy ears and is about to ripen for harvest.

On March 30, 1950, the old April 4 Children's Day was abolished. On June 1, 1951, the name of International Children's Day was established. June 1 is not only International Children's Day, but also "World Milk Day".

【Xiaoman Customs】

● Sacrifice to the god of the car: In the small Manchu season, the folk spread the custom of "sacrificing three cars", that is, the water wheel, the oil wheel and the silk car. Legend has it that the god of the waterwheel is a white dragon, and people put fish, incense, candles and other items in front of the waterwheel to worship. Interestingly, there is a cup of white water in the offerings, and the white water is poured into the field during the worship, which means to bless the water to be prosperous.

●Sacrifice to the silkworm god: According to legend, Xiaoman is the birthday of the silkworm god, so there is a silkworm festival in Jiangsu and Zhejiang during the Xiaoman solar term. In the traditional Chinese society of male ploughing and female weaving, silk is an important raw material for "weaving" in the southern region. Because silkworms are difficult to raise, silkworms were regarded as "heavenly things" in ancient times, and silkworm prayer ceremonies were held when silkworms were released before and after the Xiaoman solar term, hoping that the silkworm god would bless silkworms to have a good harvest.

6. [Appreciation of Agricultural Poems]

Return to the countryside at four o'clock music spring and summer two songs (the second) Song Ouyang Xiu

The south wind blows the grass in the plain, and the grass and trees are deep and the huts are small.

The wheat ears are full of children, and the mulberry leaves are full of fat.

The old man is happy to be old and mature (1), and the woman knows that the season is good.

Begonia pear dense nightingole, sea pomegranate red chirp mountain bird (2).

Who is the Tian family? It's not too early for me to know.

When I was begging and strong, I was already old.

The summer south wind blows all kinds of wild grasses on the plains, and the small hut can be seen in the depths of the grass. The tender green ears of wheat in the nearby wheat fields have been drawn, and when they sway in the breeze, they shake their heads like children, and they are cute and cute; The leaves on the mulberry tree are growing fat and strong, and the silkworms are full.

For the farmers, they are still looking forward to the harvest of the year, and they are happy to have a good harvest year, but they have no time to take care of the rural scenery and the beauty of the season. The fields are densely populated with begonia and pear trees, the nightwarblers are chirping, the pomegranates are bright red, and the mountain birds are singing gracefully, which will not make the farmers happy. I should have retired when I was strong, the years have passed, and now I am old, and it is too late to go into hiding.

The word Yongshu, a drunkard, a 61 layman, Han nationality, a native of Yongfeng County, Jizhou (now Yongfeng County, Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province), is politically famous. Inji Prefecture originally belonged to Luling County, and called itself "Luling Ouyang Xiu". The official is a bachelor of Hanlin, a privy deputy envoy, and a governor of political affairs, and is known as Wenzhong, and is known as Ouyang Wenzhong.

Later generations called it together with Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan and Su Shi as the "Four Great Masters of Ancient Articles". Together with Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Su Shi, Su Xun, Su Zhe, Wang Anshi, and Zeng Gong, they are known as the "Eight Masters of Tang and Song Dynasty Prose". Ouyang Xiu was the first literary leader in the literary history of the Song Dynasty to create a generation of literary styles, led the Northern Song Dynasty poetry and literature innovation movement, and inherited and developed Han Yu's ancient literary theory.

The high achievement of his prose creation was complemented by his correct theory of ancient literature, thus creating a generation of literary style. While Ouyang Xiu changed the style of writing, he also innovated the style of poetry and words. In terms of historiography, there are also high achievements. He is the author of "Ouyang Wenzhong's Public Collection".

This poem describes the scene of peasant life in the Xiaoman season, expressing the yearning for pastoral life, and the poet laments that he has returned to seclusion too late. The meaning of "Xiaoman" is that when the sun reaches 60 degrees of yellow longitude, summer crops, especially wheat grains, begin to fill full but not mature, which is the prelude to harvest, as written in the poem, "The wheat ears are full of young children, and the mulberry leaves are full of fattening".

At this time, most areas of the mainland have entered the summer one after another, the temperature difference between the north and the south has been further narrowed, the precipitation has further increased, and the spring-sown crops have grown vigorously, and they are about to enter the busy period of summer harvest, summer planting, and summer management. The vast wheat areas across the country should pay close attention to pest control and root spraying fertilizer, and implement "one spray and three preventions"; Measures should also be taken to prevent the impact of "hot and dry wind" and reduce the harm of "hot and dry wind" to wheat. The Jianghuai and Jiangnan regions have entered the best period for rice seedling raising.
