What are the 24 solar terms now?

Xiaoman, the eighth of the 24 solar terms, is 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.

Farmers in Northeast China have a proverb: It's never too late to plant anything, from Grain Rain to Xiaoman.
