Wind blows through waves of wheat and cicadas start singing. Among the twenty-four solar terms, Grain in Ear is the time when grains start to grow rapidly. It marks the beginning of summer when everything flourishes. It signals that a busy and beautiful season that makes good harvests possible is coming.
风吹麦成浪，蝉鸣夏始忙。二十四节气中，芒种，意味着五谷丰收的开始，标志着转入万物繁盛的仲夏。这是个又忙又美，既有耕耘又有收获的时节。
The seasonal rains arrive during Grain in Ear.
Farmers are busy planting seedlings in the fields.
Everyone eats food cooked from wheat and beans.
Songs sung by girls picking water-chestnuts can be heard everywhere.
时雨及芒种，
四野皆插秧。
家家麦饭美，
处处菱歌长。
This is a description of busy farming from Lu You in the Song Dynasty.这是宋代陆游描绘的农忙图景。
Grain in Ear is the time for both planting and harvesting. Crops like wheat and barley need to be harvested while cereal crops need to be planted. People around China are busy harvesting wheat and planting rice. It is the busiest time of the year for farming.
“芒种芒种，连收带种”。有“芒”的作物应收，谷黍类的作物当“种”。大江南北“栽秧割麦两头忙”，正是一年中农事最繁忙的时节。
In spring and summer, planting should be carried out as early as possible. May you be busy and be fruitful. Hope you have many achievements and enjoy life amidst the beautiful summer!春争日，夏争时，愿您忙有所获，忙有所得，在一“收”一“种”间，收获夏花般绚烂的人生美好
