June 5th is one of the traditional 24 solar terms. The arrival of Mang indicates that summer has arrived. At this time, the diet should be changed accordingly and the diet should be light.

The so-called "awn seed" symbolizes the maturity of awned crops such as wheat and is a solar term reflecting agricultural phenology. Mango is the ninth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the traditional lunar calendar and the third solar term in summer, which indicates the official start of the midsummer season.

"The origin of the twenty-four solar terms is very early. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the vernal equinox, autumnal equinox, summer solstice and winter solstice were first established, and then they were continuously improved. By the Qin and Han Dynasties, the names of twenty-four solar terms such as mango were established. " In the taichu calendar Law of the Han Dynasty, 24 solar terms were officially listed in the calendar.

Generally, awn seeds are sown around June 6 every year when the sun reaches 75 degrees of the yellow meridian. The ancient book "Waiting for the Seventy-second Month" once recorded: "The May Festival means that there are awns and crops in the valley."

In ancient China, mango seeds were divided into three stages according to time: "One stage was when mantis was born; Second, wait for Peng to start singing; The third-class tongue is silent. " This solar term, mantis, fell in late autumn last year. The egg broke its shell and gave birth to a little mantis, because it felt Yin Qi. Shady shrike birds began to appear in the branches and sing in the shade; On the contrary, mockingbirds, who can learn from the songs of other birds, stop singing because they feel the appearance of Yin Qi.

"In ancient times, it was thought that the anode was yin, and the awn seeds came, and it was getting hotter and hotter in summer. At this time, "Yin Qi" began to appear. The arrival of Mang is also a reminder to adjust living habits. "
