What is the date of Xiaoman in the twenty-four solar terms?

Xiaoman is the eighth of the 24 solar terms and the second in summer. It means that the seeds of summer crops are full, but immature, just small and not full. During the Xiaoman period, all parts of the country entered the summer one after another. The southern summer harvest grain and oil crops producing areas should seize fine weather and harvest mature wheat and rape in time to avoid losses caused by adverse weather.

"Xiaoman moved three cars and was too busy to know him." This proverb describes the farming scene in Xiaoman season in the south of the Yangtze River. Three vehicles refer to waterwheel, oil vehicle and silk vehicle. At this time, the crops in the farmland need a lot of water, so the farmers are busy turning water on the waterwheel; The harvested rapeseed is also waiting for farmers to plow in spring and squeeze the fragrant rapeseed oil. The farm work in the field can't be delayed naturally, but the silkworm babies at home should also be taken care of carefully. Before and after Xiaoman, silkworms will start to cocoon, and sericulture families are busy reeling silk with silk carts.
