According to the "Chinese Astronomical Almanac", at 18:51 Beijing time on June 5 (the 25th day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar), we ushered in the third solar term of summer, Mangzhong, which is the ninth of the twenty-four solar terms.
The term mangsang is first derived from the Zhou Li 's "Born of Zecao, Seeded Mango Seed." Zheng Xuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty explained that "where the grass is born, its land can be planted with mango seeds, mango seeds, and rice and wheat." "Explanation of the Seventy-two Waiting Collections of the Moon Order": "The May Festival is said to have the seeds of mango and the grain can be planted." ”
Mango seed, mango has two meanings, the first meaning refers to the needle prick on the seed shell of cereal plants, and the second meaning means that it is really busy. Seed also has two meanings, one is the "seed" of the seed, and the other is the "seed" of the sown.
Crops with fine spines on the shell, such as barley and wheat, have matured during the planting season, and it is imperative to harvest them. At the same time, late rice, yellow rice, sorghum, these summer-sown crops, are also in the busiest time of sowing.
Folk often say that "mango seeds" are busy planting, and the fields are busy cutting wheat and planting seedlings, which is the busiest time for peasant friends.
Mango seeds represent the official start of midsummer, and mango seeds herald the beginning of a busy field life for farmers.
During the planting season, the summer wind blows through the fields, the farmers look at the golden wheat fields, the tanned faces are printed with smiles, I don't know how much sweat, now the harvest is in sight, and the joy in their hearts is felt.
The season of mango planting is to harvest happiness and then plant hope. Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) created the oil painting "The Sower under the Sunset" in 1988, which fully interprets the characteristics of the Chinese mango seed festival.
A person's paintings that can reflect his inner world, "The Sower in the Sunset", only two years after Van Gogh's illness and death, belongs to Van Gogh's later paintings, and is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum kroller-mueller, otterlo. ）
Although most of the pain that Van Gogh should have experienced in his life has been fully experienced. But his paintings are still so full of life, there is never a trace of darkness and depressing atmosphere. On the contrary, his paintings have touched many people with their bright and vivid contrasting colors, full of hope for life. So this hope, brought into his work, hope is everywhere.
Van Gogh's Sower in the Sunset, 1888
The painting "The Sower at sunset" adopts a golden ratio composition, the sower strides forward in the harvested field, and the golden wheat field in the distance, illuminated by the sunset, presents a brilliant and unique color.
The Sower in the Sunset the posture and position of the sower and the soil ditch on the ground form a balance of upward and downward momentum. This composition method should benefit from Japanese printmaking, a pure flat freehand.
The painting "The Sower under the Sunset" prominently paints the sower in front, painting the sunset as a large lemon-colored disc, with an open foreground and a tight background, showing the effect of backward extension. In particular, Van Gogh used mottled brushstrokes to deal with the light emitted by the sunset, and when the sunset of the Western Mountains was set, the sunset still appeared in a fully radiant state.
There are two kinds of light in the world, one is the sun and the other is hard work. Van Gogh's The Sower in the Sunset is on display.
"The Sower in the Sunset" sows a lot of hope and a yearning for life. The posture of the sower seems to be singing "On the Field of Hope", on which we have struggled for generations to be happy and glorious for her.
Farming is like this, so is life, and only by sowing hope can we reap happiness.
The time of mango planting is coming, and it is the time of the college entrance examination again.
The 2021 college entrance examination is still held on June 7 and 8.
The college entrance examination time is scheduled for June 7 and 8 because "678" and "Admission Bar" are in harmony.
