A farmer works at an organic farming base in Bacheng Township, Kunshan City, eastern China’s Jiangsu Province, yesterday, coinciding with the arrival of Major Heat. Major Heat, known as Dashu in Chinese, is the final solar term of summer, typically occurring between July 22 and 24. It marks the hottest days of the year. However, it is a significant time for farming in China as the intense sunlight, high temperatures, and frequent rainfall are highly beneficial for crop growth. During this period, farmers across the country are busy with agricultural production, including transplanting rice seedlings and managing crops.Xinhua |
