Where did Xiaoman come from?

1, Xiaoman is the eighth of the 24 solar terms and the second in summer. Every year from May 20th to 22nd, when the sun reaches 60 degrees, it is in full bloom. After Xiaoman eats enough, the weather will gradually turn from warm to hot, and the precipitation will gradually increase. There is a saying in the folk proverb that "the villain is full of rivers". Xiaoman marks the appearance of summer. At this point, it is too small to be full: summer crops such as wheat are full but immature, so it is called Xiao Man.

2. For the northern region, Xiaoman is often the longest sunshine time among the 24 solar terms. "More sunshine will make it bright" and the air is dry, so the temperature in some places in the north can easily exceed that in the south. Xiaoman has three grades, first-class bitter vegetable show, second-class weeds withered, third-class wheat autumn. In the harvest season, early spring crops are about to be harvested, mid-season rice is sown in an all-round way, and farming is busy, and harvest is grabbed in sunny days and sowing is grabbed in rainy days.
