每年太阳到达黄径75°，即为节气芒种。
Every year when the sun reaches 75 degrees yellow longitude, the grain in ear arrives.
“芒”指麦类等有芒作物收获
“种”指谷黍作物播种
That means it is the time for harvest of mature crops like wheat and sowing of millet crops.
对中国大部分地区来说，芒种一到，夏熟作物要收获，夏播秋收作物要下地，春种的庄稼要管理，收、种、管交叉，是一年中最忙的季节。“芒种”节气的来临，标志着仲夏时节的正式开始！
For
most parts of China, the Grain in Ear is the busiest time of a year, and is
also the beginning of midsummer.
此时中国长江中下游地区将进入多雨的黄梅时节，
黄淮平原也即将进入雨季；
气温升高，天气炎热，加上充沛的降雨，使空气变得非常潮湿，天气异常闷热。
At this time, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River will enter the rainy Huang Mei period, and the Huang-Huai plain is also going into the rainy season. The rising temperature, hot weather and full rain make the air very moist and the weather is very sultry.
气温升高后，人体的新陈代谢能力开始加快，汗液排泄量加大，会加大体内津气耗损。
When the temperature rises, the metabolism ability of the human body begins to accelerate, the amount of sweat excretion increases. As a result you will lose more fluid and Qi in the body.
此时，除了多喝水外，还要多吃可祛暑益气、生津止渴的食物,如西红柿、黄瓜、桃子等果蔬。
At this time, besides drinking plenty of water, you should eat more foods such as tomato, cucumber and peach which can drive away summer heat, help you to produce more saliva and slake thirst.
在饮食方面，建议多吃一些健脾化湿的食物，如扁豆、薏仁、冬瓜、莲子等，切记不宜过食生冷、油腻的食物，以免助湿伤脾。
In the diet, it is recommended to eat food which invigorates the spleen for eliminating dampness, such as lentils, barley, winter gourd and lotus seed. It is not appropriate to eat too much cold and greasy food, so as to avoid injury of dampness to your spleen.
盛夏将至，养身防暑，
Midsummer is coming,please care you body against summer heat.
