Grain in Ear ushers in bountiful harvest season

Date: 2025-06-05

CTG released a poster on June 5 to mark Grain in Ear, the ninth of the 24 solar terms in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar.

In the mountain breeze, azaleas sway softly, while green plums cluster on the branches, their faintly tart fragrance mingling with the early summer air.

In the fields, farmers bend low in the paddies, planting rice seedlings and sowing the hope of a fruitful harvest.

Grain in Ear marks the start of the busy harvest season — and a gentle note in nature's grand symphony of growth.
