Grain in Ear (mang zhong) has arrived. The name itself tells the season's fast-paced farming schedule – wheat with "awns" is ready for harvest, while rice with "awns" is ready for sowing. It's a time when summer deepens and new signs of life appear: praying mantises emerge, shrikes begin to sing, while mockingbirds fall silent.
