Mangzhong, known as Grain in Ear, is an important traditional solar term in China. It falls on the sixth solar term of the lunar calendar's sixth month, signaling the arrival of the scorching heat of summer and the peak of vitality on Earth. Mangzhong marks the ripening of wheat and the flourishing growth of rice seedlings in the paddy fields.

With the arrival of Mangzhong, farmers become busy with harvesting crops and transplanting rice seedlings. The golden and plump wheat spikes bring joy and hope for a bountiful harvest. The rice seedlings sway gracefully in the water-filled fields, vibrant with life. Farmers pour their efforts into the season, hoping for a fruitful outcome.
