introduce

Xiaoman is one of the twenty-four solar terms and the second solar term in summer. It means that the grain of summer crops begins to fill, but it is not yet mature. They are just small and dissatisfied. On May 2 1 or 22 every year, when the sun reaches 60 degrees of the ecliptic, it is regarded as a full moon.

origin

055-79000: "In mid-April, everything is small and complete." At this time, the wheat summer grain in northern China has begun to be full, but it is not yet mature, which is about the late stage of milk ripening, so it is called Xiaoman.

Agricultural proverbs in southern China give Xiaoman a new meaning: "Xiaoman is not satisfied, but he thinks about it"; Small people are not satisfied, and the seeds of big people are irrelevant. The word "full" is used to describe the amount of rain, and it is pointed out that if the field is full, there is not enough water, which may cause the ridge to crack and even rice cannot be planted.

custom

In Jiangnan area, there is a saying that "cars are full of three cars moving". It is an image summary of Xiaoman farming in the south of the Yangtze River. The so-called "three cars" are waterwheels, spinning wheels and oil trucks. In agricultural proverbs, people use "full" to mean abundant rain. Xiaoman is the season of topdressing early rice and transplanting middle rice in Jiangnan. If the field is not filled with water, it will crack and cannot be transplanted, which will affect the harvest of crops.

Therefore, in dry years, people will consider it early and arrange it skillfully, and use manpower or animal power to drive waterwheels to irrigate paddy fields. In the past, when we walked by the paddy fields in remote ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, we often saw buffaloes blindfolded and turning the wooden wheels of the waterwheel to drive the keel waterwheel to carry water, or alternately pedaling on people's feet to carry water.

Health maintenance

After entering Xiaoman, the temperature rises, and people often like to use cold drinks to cool down, but excessive cold drinks can lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea and other diseases. Eating cold food at this time is easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. Because children's digestive system is not perfect and the visceral function of the elderly is gradually declining, this situation is more likely to occur in children and the elderly. Therefore, in terms of diet, we should pay attention to avoiding excessive consumption of raw and cold food.

Besides, it's not only hot and sweaty here, but also rainy. Diet conditioning should be based on refreshing and light vegetarian food. People often eat foods that can clear away dampness and heat and nourish yin, such as adzuki bean, coix seed, mung bean, wax gourd, cucumber, day lily, cress, water chestnut, auricularia auricula, carrot, tomato, watermelon and yam.
