Harvesting wheat is like putting out a fire. Longkou takes away the grain, the wheat turns yellow, the ears of wheat turn yellow, and the embroiderer gets out of bed, 70% of the wheat is harvested, and 80% of it is lost. When the wheat is ripe, start cutting. Don't wait for the mature seeds to fall, you will lose ten yellow grains. To ensure a bumper harvest, you must not lose one ear.

However, there are also proverbs, such as "Before and after beginning of autumn, swallows melons mung beans", "beginning of autumn plants scallions and dew plants garlic" and "In June autumn, the old seedlings are lost, and in July autumn, the old seedlings are harvested", which means that mung beans can still be planted (the harvest is not much), and beginning of autumn can plant onions. If seedlings are cultivated in June in early autumn, they can no longer be planted, while transplanted seedlings can still be harvested in July in early autumn. Beginning of autumn is a major solar term for local farmers, and it is also the season when crops are approaching maturity.
