What does the solar term mean in Manchu? What is Xiaoman?

1, solar terms have two meanings: one is to describe the fullness of crops. In Xiaoman season, the seeds of summer sowing crops such as wheat in northern China have begun to be full, but they are not yet mature, so they are Xiaoman. The second is to describe the situation of rain surplus and rain shortage. Small solar terms mean entering the rainy season of heavy precipitation, and the rain begins to increase, which often leads to continuous large-scale heavy precipitation, resulting in overflow of rivers and lakes.

2. Xiaoman is the eighth of the 24 solar terms and the second solar term in summer. Every year from May 20th to 22nd, when the sun reaches 60 degrees, it is in full bloom. After Xiaoman eats enough, the weather will gradually turn from warm to hot, and the precipitation will gradually increase. There is a saying in the folk proverb that "the villain is full of rivers". Xiaoman marks the appearance of summer. At this point, it is too small to be full: summer crops such as wheat are full but immature, so it is called Xiao Man.
