  (四)The Twenty-four Solar Terms Climate Agricultural Song
  Beginning of Spring: The beginning of spring starts with the sixth nine, and the spring sowing is prepared early. The year's plan lies in spring, and agricultural production creates high quality and high yield.
  Rain Water: Rainy spring rain is as precious as oil, plowing to prevent soil moisture loss, accumulate more fertilizer for more grain, and select high-quality seeds for a bountiful harvest.
  Awakening of Insects: When the weather warms up, the earth becomes active, and hibernating insects wake up. Winter wheat is pressed to protect the soil moisture, and the land is plowed and sown with spring wheat.
  Spring Equinox: With more wind and less rain, the soil thaws and the spring tide rises. Rice fields are leveled and dried early, and winter wheat is watered to return to green.
  Qingming: Qingming marks the start of spring with grass turning green. It is a good time to plant melons and beans, plant trees and forests, and select good seeds for rice seedling cultivation.
  Grain Rain: Grain Rain cuts off the frost, but planting is not delayed. The house swallow returns and drinks the first water, and the nursery grafts and cultivates the orchard.
  Beginning of Summer: The beginning of summer sees the wheat stalks grow tall, and the fields are leveled and rice seedlings are planted. Weeding and soil preservation are maintained, and greenhouse wind protection must be managed well.
  Small Full: Small Full is warm and the spring is rich, and the prevention of aphids and wheat flies is carried out. Rice fields are fertilized to promote tillering, and wool shearing is done to prevent cold winds.
  Grain in Ear: Grain in Ear has little rain and high temperatures, corn is thinned and fixed, millet, sorghum, and buckwheat are sown on time, and the rice fields are weeded frequently.
  Summer Solstice: The summer solstice begins with hailstorms, and the best seeds are selected by removing weeds and inferior plants. Hail control, increased rainfall, and dry wind are addressed, and corn is fertilized to prevent leaf miners.
