The moral of life in Xiao Man

1. The traditional culture of China pays attention to the "golden mean". If there is a surplus of things, it will be the other way around. Therefore, there is no "big full", only "small full". Small man refers to a contented attitude towards life, indifferent and peaceful. From "small man" to "big man", life is small and full, but it is actually the best.

Xiaoman is the second solar term in summer. Every year between May 20th and 22nd, when the sun reaches 60 degrees of the yellow meridian, it is in full bloom. It means that the seeds of summer crops are full, but immature, just small and not full.

3. Xiaoman's name "Twenty-four solar terms" says: In mid-April, Xiaoman is full of everything. Therefore, among the 24 solar terms, only "Xiaoman" is the most grounded.

The name Xiaoman has two meanings, which refers to the maturity of grain and the excess of rain. At this time, the summer grain like wheat in the north of China is full, but not yet mature, which is equivalent to the late stage of "milk ripening", so it is called Xiao Man, which also means the arrival of busy farming.

5. Many of the 24 solar terms are "relative". For example, there is a slight summer heat, a light snow, a slight cold, and a small fullness. After it, there is no big man, but a mango.
