What's the difference between Xiaoman and Mang?

On May 20-22 of the Gregorian calendar every year, when the sun reaches 60 degrees, it is called Xiaoman, which is the eighth of the 24 solar terms and the second in summer. As soon as the Xiaoman solar term arrives, it means entering the rainy season with heavy precipitation. At this time, we should pay attention to storing water for farmland and lay the foundation for the next crop planting.

On June 5-7 of the Gregorian calendar every year, when the solar calendar reaches 75 degrees, it is the awn, which is the ninth solar term among the 24 solar terms and the third solar term in summer. The climate of awn seed is characterized by a significant increase in temperature and abundant rainfall. At this time, people in the south are busy planting rice seedlings, while people in the north are busy harvesting wheat.

There is a folk saying that "if the crops grow unsatisfied, the crops can't be sown", which means that the precipitation in the crop season is related to the sowing in the crop season.
