What is Xiaoman? What are the solar terms in the twenty-four solar terms?
Xiaoman is the eighth of the 24 solar terms and the second in summer. It means that the seeds of summer crops are full, but immature, just small and not full. On May 2 1 or 22 every year, when the sun reaches 60 yellow diameter, it is regarded as a small full.
The origin of solar terms in Xiao Man
Twenty-four solar terms: "In mid-April, things are small and full." At this time, the seeds of summer sowing crops such as wheat in the north have begun to be full, but they are not yet mature, which is about the late stage of milk ripening, so it is called Xiaoman.
Agricultural proverbs in southern China give Xiaoman a new meaning: "Xiaoman is not satisfied, he thinks about it"; "Little people are full of discontent, regardless of mangoes." The word "full" is used to describe the amount of rain, and it is pointed out that if there is not enough water in the field when it is full, the ridge may crack and even rice cannot be planted when it is planted.
Xiaoman has three waiting periods: one is waiting for the bitter vegetable show, the other is waiting for the grass to die, and the third is waiting for the arrival of wheat and autumn.
Wait, bitter vegetable show:
Although Xiaoman indicates that wheat is about to mature, it is still in the stage of green and yellow. In the past, people often used wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger at this time. Bitter vegetables have a long history and a wide variety in China. Yaya takes tea as a bitter medicine. Shi Mao said, "Who says tea is bitter?" Yeah, yeah. Bao said, "It is bitter to feel the gas of fire." Er Ya said, "Those who are disrespectful and dishonest are called beautiful, and those who are disrespectful and dishonest are called English." This painful experience, speaking English is perfect. Bao said, "It is bitter to feel the gas of fire." Cai Yong's "Moon Order" refers to a little bitter walking with a stem.
Second, the grass is dead:
Zheng Kangcheng and Bao Jingxiang both say that the grass is Mao, which belongs to Mao. Note in the Book of Rites: "The branches and leaves of the grass are not fine." Fang said: "Everything born in the sun is strong; Those who are born with yin are soft and unyielding. " According to these ancient books, the so-called weeds should be shade-loving plants. In Xiaoman solar term, all localities began to enter summer, and the death of weeds is a symbol of the growing spirit of the sun in Xiaoman solar term.
Wait, Mai Qiu is here:
This sentence was originally three days waiting for the summer solstice, and later it was changed to the wheat autumn solstice in the records of the Golden History. "Moon Order": "Wheat autumn to April; The summer of solstice is in May. Xiaoman is in the middle of April, so it's easy. " Mai Qiu's autumn word refers to when the bone is mature. Therefore, although it is still summer, it has reached a mature "autumn" for wheat, so it is called the autumn solstice of wheat.
How to arrange the farming in Xiaoman solar terms
(1) Southern China
"Little people are full of rivers" reflects the climate characteristics of heavy rainfall in this area.
Generally speaking, if the cold air in the north can penetrate into the south of China, and the warm and humid airflow in the south is also strong, it is easy to cause heavy rain or torrential rain in South China. Therefore, the late Xiaoman solar term is often the tense stage of flood control in these areas.
(2) the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River
"Little full, little Huangmei"; Small full without rain, awn seeds without water.
For the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, if there is less rain at this stage, it may be that the Pacific subtropical high is weak and located in the south, which means that the precipitation in Huangmei season may be less. Therefore, there is a folk saying that "there is no room for a small man, and there are fewer Huangmei"; "Small full without rain, awn seeds without water".
(3) the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River
"Xiaoman refuses to accept, Maicun is risky."
There is another saying in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River: "Xiaoman is dissatisfied, and wheat is risky." This risk means that wheat has just entered the stage of milk ripening, and it is very vulnerable to dry and hot wind, which leads to insufficient filling, dry seeds and reduced yield. There are many ways to prevent dry hot wind, such as building shelterbelts and spraying chemicals, which are all very effective measures.
(4) Jiangnan area:
"Xiaoman moved three cars and was too busy to know him."
Three vehicles refer to waterwheel, oil vehicle and silk vehicle. At this time, the crops in the farmland need a lot of water, so the farmers are busy turning water on the waterwheel; The harvested rapeseed is also waiting for farmers to plow in spring and squeeze the fragrant rapeseed oil. The farm work in the field can't be delayed naturally, but the silkworm babies at home should also be taken care of carefully. Before and after Xiaoman, silkworms will start to cocoon, and sericulture families are busy reeling silk with silk carts.
