May I ask what Xiaoman means?

1, Xiaoman is interesting. Fifteen days in Xia Hou will usher in the Xiaoman solar term. This year's Xiaoman solar term is May 2 1, and the solar term is between May 20 and 22 on the Gregorian calendar. Xiaoman mainly means that the seeds of summer crops begin to fill at this time and gradually become full, but it is only a stage of "small enough to be full" and it will take some time to fully mature, so it is called Xiaoman.

2, Xiaoman solar terms have three grades: "First-class bitter vegetable show, second-class grass withered, third-class wheat to autumn." This sentence describes that the bitter vegetables in the wild field began to flourish, the shade-loving, thin grass gradually withered and died, and the wheat was about to mature.

3. During the Xiaoman period, most parts of China entered the summer in the meteorological sense, that is, the average temperature reached 22℃ for five consecutive days. There is a saying in the northern region that "the goose feathers live in the long summer, and the birds come to the whole". The second half of the sentence says that the birds have basically returned to the warm north.

4. The field of agricultural production has also entered its own busy state. There is a saying in wheat producing areas that "there is risk when wheat is full", which means that if the moisture is "unsatisfactory" in the full season, it will affect the final wheat harvest; There is a proverb in the rice-growing area, "Long summer and small rice planting"; In cotton-growing areas, it is necessary to ensure that cotton is planted before Xiaoman. If the farming season is delayed, there will be consequences of "planting cotton on a small scale, planting firewood on a small scale" and "returning to a small scale".
