What are the proverbs of the Xiao Summer Festival?

Small Summer is the first solar term in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and it is also a key period for sowing and harvesting crops in the Chinese tradition. The following are proverbs for the Xiao Summer festival:

● "Small summer and big summer, steam on the top and boil on the bottom", meaning that during the Xiao Summer festival, the weather will be more sultry and humid.

● "During the Little Summer Festival, the weather is hot, rainy, and crops are dry", which means that during the Little Summer Festival, the weather will be hotter and drier.

● "The rain is like silver in the Little Summer, and like gold in the Big Summer", this phrase refers to the fact that during the Little Summer, the weather becomes wetter and rainy.

● "During the Little Summer and the Great Summer, it rains even when there is no wind", which refers to the fact that it rains even when there is no wind during the Little Summer festival.

These proverbs only reflect the traditional Chinese culture's understanding of the Xiaozhu festival and the factors that predict the future weather. In fact, weather forecasting is a complex science and art form that needs to take into account a variety of factors, such as barometric pressure, temperature, humidity, precipitation and so on. Therefore, the "Little Summer, Big Summer" proverb does not fully represent the future weather conditions.
