Xiao Man's Philosophy

Philosophy is full of sweetness, but it also contains the expectation of perfection.

The seeds of summer crops are full, but not mature enough, so they are small and full, which is called "small fullness". Xiaoman is the second solar term in summer, and the arrival of this solar term often indicates that the hot and humid weather in summer is coming.

Other "light summer" solar terms are always followed by "boss", for example, light summer is followed by big summer, light snow is followed by heavy snow, and slight cold is followed by great cold. After Xiaoman is a kind of mango, which just embodies the concept of China traditional culture. Plumpness is not the perfect realm pursued by the ancients. When the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the water is full, it will overflow. After everything reaches the extreme, it will inevitably go downhill. And "small enough to eat" is in line with the ideal of China people. The bitter vegetable is dandelion. Yellow flowers scattered, white Liu Xufei, but the most resilient, is a wonderful scenery in Xiaoman season.

Xiaoman is full of philosophy and hope. Among the 24 solar terms, Xiaoman is definitely a solar term full of philosophy. Little people are full without loss, full without profit, full without overflow. China's traditional Confucian doctrine of the mean, taboo "too full" and "too full", there are "full recruit damage, modest benefit" and "extremes meet". Therefore, there is a unique phenomenon in the naming of the 24 solar terms. There is a slight summer heat, a great summer heat, a light snow, a slight cold, a severe cold, a small full but not full. Life is full, enough.

Xiaoman is also a solar term full of hope. "Small and full, the wheat is getting fuller and fuller." The ancients named it "Xiaoman", expressing a kind of joy that the harvest is coming soon. At this time, the wheat is changing from green to yellow. In a few days, the golden wheat waves will dress up the land far away from the sky as golden homesickness.
