Small enrichment means happiness.

Xiaoman means that the crops are full, but not fully mature, but Xiaoman is not full. People say that small fullness is a blessing, in order to persuade people not to pursue fullness too much, which will overflow. Xiaoman is just right, and ordinary life is the real blessing. Small and full means more rain, so that crops can thrive.

What does it mean to be blessed?

Xiaoman is one of the 24 solar terms and the second solar term in summer. At this time, the summer crops began to be full, but they were not mature, just small and not full. A vibrant scene also implies a bumper year.

The reason why small enrichment is a blessing is to persuade people not to pursue big enrichment, just like pouring a cup of tea, which will overflow if it is too full. Small enrichment is just right, and it is the same when applied to life. Plain is the real blessing, and you don't have to pursue material things too much.

There is a saying in the south that "the river is full when it is full". With the increase of rainfall, there will be more water in rivers, rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River. Here, "full" means that there is more rain, and crops can thrive and get a good harvest.

The origin of Xiao Man

It is recorded in the twenty-four solar terms: "In mid-April, the small ones are full, and the small ones are full." This is the origin of Xiaoman. In southern China, there is also a proverb, "Little Man is not satisfied, regardless of the awning", which means that if the field is not irrigated when it is full, the ridge may crack, and rice cannot be planted when the awning is planted.
