今日，芒种。

Grain in Ear (Chinese: 芒种) begins on June 6 this year and ends on June 20.

芒种是二十四节气中的第九个节气，也是干支历午月的起始；太阳到达黄经75°时，芒种伊始。春争日，夏争时，“争时”便是指芒种时节的收种农忙。因此，芒种，又称为“忙种”。

It is the 9th solar term of the 24 solar terms in a year. When the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 75°, the Grain in Ear period starts. There is an old saying: "Seize the day in spring, while seize the hour in summer." It says people are busy with both planting and harvesting in summer, especially during the period of Grain in Ear.

古人以二十四节气作为农事活动的风向标，应时而动，适时而为。芒种正是南方种稻与北方收麦之时，既是耕耘，也是收获。芒种时节恰逢每年高考时，亦是种下希望、期待丰收之日。

The 24 solar terms were created by the ancient Chinese to carry out agricultural activities. During the period of Grain in Ear, it is time to sow rice in the south and to reap wheat in the north. It also coincides with the period of gaokao, or national college entrance exam. Like Grain in Ear, gaokao is also a time to sow and to reap for the seniors in high school.
