The origin of solar terms in Xiao Man

Xiaoman is a solar term that directly reflects precipitation. The folk saying is that the grains of wheat and other crops in the northern region began to fill, but they were only small but not completely full; In the south, rivers are generally full of water. So this solar term is called Xiao Man.

Xiaoman solar term is one of the 24 solar terms in China. The arrival of the small full season means that the rainfall is gradually increasing. So what is the origin of Xiaoman solar terms? Let's get to know each other.

During the 0 1 solar term, due to the active warm and humid airflow in the south and the intersection with the cold air from north to south, there will often be continuous and large-scale heavy precipitation in South China, leading to heavy rain or heavy rain.

Jiangnan area is usually full of rivers and lakes. If there is little rain at this stage, it means entering the Huangmei season.

The river is full of water. If you are not satisfied, you are bound to have a dry and rainy year. There are many folk proverbs in this respect. For example, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei and other provinces all have the saying that "there is no water to wash dishes".

In Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other regions, there is a proverb called "the villain is dissatisfied and breaks his spine"; There is also a saying in Sichuan province that "the small one can't hold it, and the plow and harrow hang high."

The north says Xiaoman is called Xiaoman because the seeds of summer crops such as wheat have begun to be full, but they are not yet mature, which is equivalent to the late stage of milk ripening.
