What does the agricultural proverb "If you are full of discontent, you don't care about youth" mean?

? "Little people are not satisfied, little people don't care what they plant" is an agricultural proverb in southern China, which illustrates a farming phenomenon in southern China.

First, the meaning of "full of dissatisfaction, regardless of mango"? First, split the explanation to make it easier to understand.

? "Xiaoman" refers to one of the 24 solar terms in China, which is around May 2 1 in the Gregorian calendar every year. It is the second solar term in summer, between long summer and Miscanthus, that is to say, Miscanthus comes after a small full season. Knowing this, we know why we say "Xiaoman is dissatisfied, regardless of mango", which just shows the influence of Xiaoman solar terms on mango solar terms later.

? "Dissatisfaction" cannot be understood as "dissatisfaction" or "complacency". This "fullness" means "the rain is full", and "dissatisfaction" means that the rain is scarce, that is, the rain is not enough.

? "Ear seed" is a solar term closely following "Xiaoman", and the rainfall in Xiaoman season affects the farming at this stage.

? "No matter" means that it can't be managed, specifically, agricultural production will be affected. Because the ear planting season is the season for planting rice in the south, "no matter" means that rice can't be planted.

? At this point, we can fully understand the meaning of "the villain is not satisfied, regardless of the canopy", that is, if there is little rain at this time in the villain season, it will not be able to meet the rice planting demand in the next stage of the canopy season.

? This proverb illustrates the importance of rain in the small full season, which is to prepare for the rice planted with mango seeds in the later stage.

Second, what is the meaning of "Xiaoman" in the "Xiaoman" solar term? In my above answer, I particularly emphasized the "southern region", indicating that "little people are dissatisfied, and the whole grain is not divided" is the experience summary of the southern region, not the northern region. This is the key point to understand this proverb.

? So, how does the northern region understand the meaning of the "Xiaoman" solar term? At this time, it is the filling season of wheat in the north, that is, wheat is in the mature stage, but not yet fully mature, that is, wheat is in the filling stage, so the ancients vividly called it "Xiaoman".

? Of course, although it is Xiaoman, it will be full soon, and it will be "full" soon, so the third of the three stages of Xiaoman is "the arrival of wheat autumn", which means "the wheat should be ripe". Therefore, the next solar term will no longer use "Da Man", because the season of "Xiao Man" already includes "Da Man". Also, the most important thing after Xiaoman is to be busy sowing seeds, so it is called "Mang Seed". This should be the reason why there is only a "small man" and no "big man". But now some people explain it from the height of "life", saying that it is enough to be a nobody, but to avoid "big man", so we don't choose the name "big man". Let's talk about it!

? As can be seen from the above, the name of "small fullness" mentioned by the ancients was taken from "things are small but full", and this "thing" should include "wheat" and "rain". The north refers to the "small fullness" of wheat and the south refers to the "small fullness" of rain.

3. What is the solar term for mango? On June 5 or 6 of the Gregorian calendar every year, the mango seed is the third solar term in summer, which indicates the official start of the midsummer season.

? What is the literal meaning of "ear seed"? The dictionary defines "awn" as "a needle-like protrusion extending from the top of lemma or the midvein on the back of a small flower in Gramineae". This is too professional. We just need to say that it is the "awn" of "Maimang". This "awn" is the sharp thing on the ear of wheat. "Planting" is sowing.

? The ancients explained the origin of "awn seed" as "awn seed, saying that there is awn valley to sow." In other words, wheat with awns should be harvested, and millet, corn and rice with awns should be planted.

? At this time, it is the busy farming season. We should be busy harvesting wheat, sowing millet and planting rice. "Miscanthus" and "busy planting" are homophonic, and the arrival of Miscanthus indicates that farmers have begun a busy field life.

? Finally, we say that the "busy three summers" season of "grabbing crops and seeds" includes two seasons: "Xiaoman" and "Mangzi", so this period is the busiest stage of farming.
