What do you mean, everything is better than anything?
It means "it is better to finish when things are full than to wait until everything is ready."
"Xiaoman", what a wonderful solar term full of philosophy. It's not "heartless thing", but telling us that "no more, no less" and "leaving room" are the best state of life.
On the day of Xiaoman, the ears of wheat were just full, but not completely full. This state is particularly good, representing a state and attitude of life, that is, flowers begin to wither when they are fully open, and the moon begins to lose when it is full. In fact, the attitude of Xiaoman's representative is that we have been pursuing perfection, but we don't require perfection.
"Twenty-four solar terms" said: "In mid-April, the small ones are full, and the small ones are full." Xiaoman means that the seeds of summer crops are full, but not yet mature, just small and not yet full. Every year on May 2 1 day of the Gregorian calendar, it is full.

Because China has a vast territory and belongs to different climatic zones, the explanation or cognition of Xiaoman is different between the north and the south. Generally speaking, wheat is used to explain Xiaoman in the north and rain is used to explain Xiaoman in the south.
The interpretation of "twenty-four solar terms" is a typical northern interpretation. Wheat was planted in the north. Before the Song Dynasty, the north was the economic center. The yield of wheat determined the stability of feudal dynasty. Xiaoman means that the seeds of summer crops (mainly wheat) begin to bulge, but they are not yet mature and full.
