Hangzhou Xiao Man solar terms gourmet

Today is full.

Xiaoman is the eighth of the 24 solar terms and the second in summer. The "fullness" in the small fullness means that the rain begins to be abundant and the river is small enough to be full. Summer grain such as wheat in the north began to fill and gradually became full.

"Little full loquat half slope yellow", at this time the fruit of solar terms is loquat, which is seasonal and has the shortest time to market.

In the north, wheat is the most popular in xiaoman season. Those wheat fields ruined by the seasons are swaying in the wind. They are scattered, free and beautiful, as if moving with a harvest movement.

Xiaoman is the cleverest solar term. "Small full, full without loss, full without profit, full without overflow". When the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the water is full, it will overflow. Everything is small and complete, and beauty comes at the right time.

"Life can't be complete, everything is only half complete." This couplet of Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou tells the world and reminds countless people.

Not full, the future can be expected.

Let's walk into Xiaoman and seize every tiny but solid happiness!
