“时雨及芒种，四野皆插秧
家家麦饭美，处处菱歌长”
June 5th
6月5日
We have entered the third solar term of summer
我们迎来了夏日的第三个节气
Grain in ear
——芒种
At this time, the plums are ripe, the apricots are plump and the wheat is turning yellow
此时，青梅成熟，杏肥麦黄
It is still an ideal time for autumn grain sowing
还是秋粮播种的佳期
On the fields and in the countryside, the hardworking farmers are busy
田间地头，忙碌的农人们
Enjoying the joy of harvest
享受着丰收的喜悦
And sowed the seeds of hope once again
又播散下希望的种子
The three signs of the Grain in ear: 1. The mantis emerges; 2. The cuckoo begins to chirp; 3. The oriole becomes silent.
芒种三候：一候螳螂生，二候鵙（jú）始鸣，三候反舌无声。
The mantis emerges from its shell
螳螂破壳而出
Birds fly back and forth through the forest
鸟儿穿梭山林
The chirping sounds echoed through the mountains
鸣叫声在山间回荡
Greeting the hot summer all the time
和盛夏不停打着招呼
Between harvest and sowing
一收一种
Completely convey the essence of the Grain in Ear Festival
道尽芒种节气的内涵
During this busy and fulfilling season
在这个忙碌而充实的时节
May you "harvest" success and "plant" gains!
愿你“芒”有所获，“种”有所得！
