Huang-Lu rice in Chinese history (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Huang-lu (rapid-ripening) was later written in Chen Fu’s "Nong Shu" (pre-1149) as huang-lu (yellow-green) rice: "the Zhou Li (Zhou=Zhou Dynasty; Li=doctrine) book says it ‘grows in swampy areas and planted at Mangzhong’, with dual meaning of the latter. |
| | Zhen State used mangzhong as seed (zhong) with awn (mang), as in huang-lu (yellow-green) rice; the other refers to planting after Mangzhong (June 6). |
| | As heavy rain falls between Xiaoman (May 21) and Mangzhong festivals, huang-lu is planted in paddies at Xiazhi (June 21), taking 60-70 days from sowing to harvesting, and allowing planting after early flooding" |
