Small enough means peace of mind.

Xiaoman, the weather began to turn from warm to hot, which means that summer is really coming.

Xiaoman is the eighth of the 24 solar terms and the second in summer. When the water is full, it overflows and the monthly surplus is gone. This is the way of nature and the principle of life.

Xiaoman, all the good things in life are in full expectation. In the north, the seeds of summer harvest crops begin to be full in the small full season, but they are not fully mature, just small full, but not full. In the south, the small solar term means that the rain begins to increase and the rainfall is abundant. As the folk proverb says, small and complete, rivers are easy to fill.
