Twenty-four solar terms
"Xiaoman" is the eighth of the traditional twenty-four solar terms, usually in the middle and late April of the lunar calendar. This is the second solar term in traditional summer. At the intersection of solar terms, the sun runs at 60 degrees of the yellow meridian. Among the 24 solar terms, it is not a big solar term, but it has a unique beauty with four distinct seasons.
Who made the name "Xiaoman" is unknown, because 24 solar terms recorded it in the Western Han Dynasty. According to the law that words lag behind history, solar terms were named in the pre-Qin period.
who is it? In such a clear season, it is named after the gentlest and happiest "Xiaoman". For thousands of years, when people read these two words, they have already had a Mona Lisa-like smile that overflows the corners of their mouths.
Small enrichment, small enrichment, small and heavy early summer satisfaction.
Twenty-four solar terms: "In mid-April, things are small and full."
Then, what can make everything smaller at this time is the good rain and wind in early summer, which moistens the green leaves layer by layer, so that many fruits are produced among the green leaves, such as cherries, apricots, Huangmei, loquat and bayberry, and the fruits are mature. Qing Ye is beautiful in summer. Xiaoman is like a peasant girl, like a young woman in full bloom, standing under a green forest tree with dew loquat in a basket. Her smile is gentle and clear, her hair is moist and pointed, and the background is green mountains and green waters.
"Small full-time, how rotten.
Tian Jia furniture millet, Fang Bo asked silks.
Apricot and wheat repair sickle and cymbal, huh? A vertical hedge.
Always watching bitter vegetables, what is the only show? "In the middle of the tang dynasty? Yuan Zhen's Poem on Twenty-four Qi? Xiaoman is in mid-April? 》
Yuan Zhen's poems on the twenty-four solar terms in the Tang Dynasty can basically reflect the phenological characteristics of the Central Plains in the Tang Dynasty.
The solar term of Xiaoman has come, and those tiny herbs have gradually completed their life cycle and entered a period of aging and withering.
At this time, farmers began to worry about calculating how much crops can be harvested this summer. Local officials are also busy, going deep into the grassroots to ask about the harvest of cocoon and silk.
Looking at the maturing wheat fields, farmers sharpened their knives and repaired harvesting tools such as sickles, while long pole tools were erected on the fence to collect fruits.
It is said that many herbaceous plants are gradually declining and wilting, but in the elementary schools in the floodplain and vilen, there is a unique bitter flower, which is swaying and opening, as if growing in reverse, and it is necessary to occupy the blank of the land with green and beautiful flowers.
Before and after the Tang Dynasty, winter wheat was planted on a large scale in farmland at this time. When it comes to Xiaoman season, these wheat begin to mature and become golden in the magnificent summer, which is called wheat autumn.
The so-called weed death means that wheat or herbs in early spring have completed their life cycle. But don't worry, farmers won't let the fields lie fallow. Even if they want to fallow for a season, there will always be various herbs to fill the farmland quickly in the summer rain. They are green manure for next season.
"The rain in the Zigui sound is like smoke, which makes the red yarn penetrate the guest carpet.
Huangmei is mostly old, and the silkworm next door is ripe in autumn. "? Yuan? Yuan Huai's Xiao Man
Let's take a look at Xiaoman solar terms in Jiangnan. The warm and humid air currents in the ocean bring abundant rainfall. With the rising temperature, the unique wet and rainy weather in the south of the Yangtze River is formed.
The cuckoo flies in the misty rain, and the red curtain on the passenger ship often flutters in the misty rain. The guests sitting on the boat were covered with water vapor, and the colors of their hats and clothes were beautiful.
Sailing on the rainy water in the south of the Yangtze River, I saw a tree with green leaves and yellow plum reflected in the water. At this time, going ashore and entering the village is another bustling scene. Women are busy harvesting at home, and men are guarding the wheat fields, waiting for the harvest after the weather clears up at any time.
Although there is no excitement here, you can already feel the popularity and joy in China through a full and pleasant pen.
This is the summer harvest season, the most intimate little satisfaction.
"Changqing dirt road is full of wind and sand, and apricot is born with benevolence.
The dragon is Jiangnan. On this day, loquat matured in the misty rain. " ? Ming? Li Changqi's "Little People Day Slogan"
This is a small enrichment that Li Changqi experienced on his way to the north.
As a Jiangxi native, he was regarded as a large area in the south of the Yangtze River in ancient times, and once served as a political envoy in Guangxi, so in his works, he felt that the climate in the south and north of Xiaoman solar terms was different.
The north wind often has hot and windy weather at this time, and the rainfall is insufficient, so it is dry here, and the dirt road has been dry for a long time. Even the plants mature late because of this lack of rain. For example, the apricot tree has just set fruit and looks like fruit, and the neem tree has just begun to bloom.
Living in Jiangnan since childhood, I was impressed by Xiaoman, but Jiangnan is misty and rainy, with rivers and flowing water, mountains and rivers full of golden loquat, full of green, mature, sweet and rich.
On the way to the north, Li Changqi's poem, which only writes phenology, also reveals his deep nostalgia for his hometown.
Xiaoman in the north, the wheat begins to be full, while Xiaoman in the south, like a fragrant fruit with rain, is not to be missed.
"Jiang Xianglin Xiao Man, heating.
At the beginning of the day, the bamboo is cloudy and the wind is suitable.
It's hard to know when you are drunk before you speak.
I feel sad and sad looking for changes in the DPRK. "Ming? Has Huang Province ever written Summer Scenery? 》
This is the Xiaoman solar term written in my hometown of Jiangsu. Closer to the sea, warm and humid.
The so-called grasshopper is actually a grasshopper. Grasshoppers often hatch at a high temperature of 25 degrees, often in June of the lunar calendar. Obviously, the climate here is so warm and full of solar terms that even grasshoppers come out.
Fortunately, in this place of Jiangsu, there are also natural methods to resist heat waves.
Bamboo grows rapidly in a humid and warm environment, becoming the most beautiful shade, while lotus leaves and lotus flowers thrive. When the wind is filtered by the lotus leaves in the bamboo forest, there is naturally a cool beauty.
In such a green home, having a rest physically and mentally, listening to the rain at night with friends, talking about Sang Ma and the changes of the world, has a deep sense of intoxication. Green protects life more like water, and the sideburns are white.
When I am old, I would rather chat with white hair in the shade than drink with yellow leaves.
This is the beauty of Xiaoman, always rich.
"I love Jiangnan Xiaotian, shad early cold.
After a sound of Dai Sheng silkworm sleeping, new seedlings were everywhere. "Ming? April of Wen Peng? 》
As mentioned above, the Xiaoman solar term is in the north, which is the wheat harvest season in autumn. In late winter and early spring, some herbs and some tiny plants also wither rapidly in the gradually hot sun, but in the south, Xiaoman season is a new season for rice growth. In many places in the south, after the wheat harvest, rice is planted quickly in the season, so the greenery in the south of the Yangtze River is deeper in summer.
Not only is the land fertile, it crops twice a year, but at this time, all the rivers are flooded, which is the season when fish and shrimp are fat.
Among them, shad is a migratory fish, which lays eggs in the upper reaches and enters the river from the ocean at intervals in early summer every year. At this time, the shad is tender and plump, and it has been a tribute since ancient times. In order to ensure the freshness of shad, the fish supplied to the north are kept fresh with ice cubes, which is expensive in market value.
Farmers living in the south of the Yangtze River get the moon first by being close to the water, so it is really rare to get two pieces of food by the river.
Fresh fruits and rivers in early summer constitute the richness of Jiangnan. The people are hardworking, the fields are lush, and the materials created have laid the foundation for Daming's prosperity.
"I love the small sky in the south of the Yangtze River. The cherries are ripe and the fish are fresh.
The cuckoo cries for rain, and the pine shadow hangs on the mountain. "Ming? Xue Wenbing, "living in a leisurely place? 》
How much do you love it? I also love the small sky in the south of the Yangtze River. The market is full of fresh fruits and vegetables, which are cheap and good.
But Xue Wenbing is more economical than me, because he lives in the mountains, and eating and drinking are naturally free.
There are natural cherries in the forest. You can even eat them from trees without starting work. There is no time difference at all.
The most important thing in that place near the sea is seafood.
These are all free.
The most beautiful is the environment. People in the city hang landscape paintings and build arbor in summer, but his place, with its doors facing the distant mountains and windows with pine shadows, is naturally several degrees lower than the temperature in the city. Standing at the window watching the sunset, the mountains are like late spring. It's really a breeze, and the sun shines brightly.
"Good weather, warm wheat and cold beans.
After loquat turned yellow, Myrica rubra turned purple, which was just a small sky for farmers. "Qing? Wang Tai's Four Poems on Bamboo Branches in Wumen? Fourth? Little man? 》
Xiaoman solar terms have both wind and rain and beauty. It's summer, and it's also the season when wheat and fruit are ripe.
Wind and rain make wheat fill quickly, mature and full, and sunny days make beans and vines blossom and bear fruit in the sun.
All kinds of plant crops show their life energy to grow and mature in Xiaoman solar terms.
After apricot, plum and loquat turned yellow, Yangmei matured again, and its branches and leaves showed a strong purple color.
Who says summer is not as beautiful as spring? Summer beauty is really full of solar terms, which is the harvest season for farmers.
Summer is unfinished, green mountains and green waters, green mountains and green fields, but all kinds of fruits have matured, and wheat has also given a stable season. This is a stable gas station before the autumn harvest.
Even though misty rain sometimes makes people sad and moldy, red cherry, yellow loquat, full shade, fish on the table, beautiful vegetables at that time, gentle smile, leisurely dreams in the afternoon. Who doesn't love a small sky on the earth?
The first coat is better than snow to explain the love and beauty in the poem for you. .
