，是二十四節氣之一，落在6月6日前後（5日－7日），斗指丙，太陽到達黃經75度。芒種一詞之意，是黃河流域地區在此時稻子已結實成「種」，而結實的稻子榖粒上長出了細芒。
芒種在大中華地區分為三候，即：
螳螂生：螳螂破卵而出。
鶰始鳴：伯勞鳥開始在枝頭出現，並且開始鳴叫。
反舌無聲：反舌鳥停止了鳴叫。
The traditional Chinese calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms. Mángzhòng is the ninth solar term. It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 75° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 90°. It more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 75°. In the Gregorian calendar, it usually begins around June 5 (June 6 East Asia time) and ends around June 21.
Introduction of Grain in Ear (芒种) "grain in ear" means the grains are mature. It happens around June 5 every year when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 75 degrees. During this period, crops like barley and wheat all get mature and are waiting to be harvested. In Chinese, "Grain in Ear" is called Mang Zhong. Mang means grains at the same time busy. It forecasts the farmer is getting back to the busy field work.
