Farming is busy during the Qingming Festival

    The Qingming Festival is a season of rejuvenation of all things. The spring in the garden is constantly gushing out of the spring mud, and everything is accumulating strength for the growth of all things in spring.

    Qingming Festival is one of the traditional Chinese festivals, also known as Outing Festival, Xingqing Festival, March Festival, Ancestor Worship Festival, etc. The festival is at the turn of mid-spring and late spring. The Qingming Festival originated from the ancestral beliefs and spring ritual customs in ancient times. It has both natural and humanistic connotations. It is not only a natural solar term, but also a traditional festival. Tomb-sweeping, ancestor worship and green outing are the two major ritual themes of Qingming Festival. These two traditional ritual themes have been passed down in China since ancient times and have not ceased to this day.

    "During the Qingming Festival, wheat grows three festivals", the wheat in the south of the Huanghuai area is about to boot, the rapeseed has already bloomed, and the wheat in the northeast and northwest regions is also entering the jointing stage. At this time, we should pay close attention to the later fertilizer and water management and pest control work. Dry farming in the north, early and middle rice in the south of the Yangtze River have entered the suitable season for mass planting. This period is the best time for spring ploughing and spring planting. There are busy peasants everywhere in the fields. A folk proverb says: "Qingming Valley and Rain are linked together, so don't delay in soaking and plowing the fields."

    By doing a good job in spring ploughing production, we will have a solid foundation for a bumper agricultural harvest throughout the year. During this period, attention should be paid to the preparation of production materials such as fertilizers and pesticides, and attention should be paid to the application of basic fertilizers. At the same time, before and after the Qingming Festival, we should focus on vegetable sowing, seedling cultivation, and planting to strengthen the field management of greenhouse vegetables.
