Zhuangzi's golden mean in Xiaoman solar terms.

I think the reason why China people call Xiaoman our cleverest detail. This is because people in ancient times were superstitious, and they all thought that there were yin and yang in the world. Xiaoman was the day, that is, the yang in the world reached a relatively full state, and when it was full, it was the extreme of yang. However, the ancient tradition paid attention to the doctrine of the mean, which meant that it was not good to be too full, so Xiaoman was the most intelligent solar term.

Among the 24 solar terms in China, there are many corresponding solar terms. For example, there are several pairs of different sizes, such as mild heat, severe cold and mild snow. But there is only one little man. Not full. Because what he described was not the weather, but the yang in the eyes of the ancients, it reached a relatively full situation and was full to the extreme.

In fact, enrichment is enrichment. In our ancient tradition, traditional culture seems to buy a lot, that is to say, it is very bad to eat to the extreme, because some of our ancient philosophers pay attention to the golden mean and talk about prosperity and decline. Too full is not good, while small full shows that I was the best state that people pursued at that time. Too much is not enough, that's what I mean, because everything in the world has a limit, and if it is not reached, it is not enough.

As the cultural crystallization passed down by our Chinese nation, the 24 solar terms certainly have their own reasons, and Confucianism has always prevailed in our country. He advocates the golden mean, so he thinks Xiaoman is the most intelligent solar term.
