Xiaoman is the eighth solar term and the second solar term in summer.Grain Full, one of the 24 solar terms, reflects the climate characteristics of frequent and heavy rainfall. The "Twenty-Four Solar Terms" are the product of ancient agricultural civilization. Agricultural production is closely related to the rhythm of nature. It is a knowledge system formed by ancient ancestors who adapted to farming time, observed the movement of celestial bodies, and recognized the changing laws of seasons, climate, and phenology in a year. The "24 solar terms" were originally formulated based on the movement of the stars. The Big Dipper rotates in a circle, and the movement of the stars is closely related to the 24 solar terms. In different seasons and at different times, the Big Dipper will point to different directions, and therefore became the basis for people in ancient times to judge the changes in solar terms. Introduction to the Origin of Xiaoman Solar TermThe origin of the Grain Full solar term is actually related to the origin of the twenty-four solar terms.The solar term means that we have entered the rainy season with heavy rainfall. The rainfall begins to increase, and there will often be continuous and large-scale heavy rainfall. Grain Full, like Rain Water, Grain Rain, Light Snow and Heavy Snow, are all solar terms that directly reflect precipitation. Grain Full reflects the climatic characteristic of heavy rainfall: "Grain Full, Grain Full, the rivers are gradually full." Another explanation is that the grains of summer crops such as wheat in the north have begun to fill with grain, but it is only the Grain Full season and they are not yet fully full. Introduction to the customs of the Grain Full solar termIn the Jiangnan area, there is a saying that "three cars move during Xiaoman". It is a vivid summary of the farming activities during the Grain Full Season in the south of the Yangtze River. The so-called "three wheels" are the water wheel, spinning wheel and oil wheel. In agricultural proverbs, people use "full" to refer to the abundance of rainfall. Grain Full is the time for topdressing early rice and transplanting mid-season rice in the south of the Yangtze River. If the fields are not full of water, the field ridges will dry out and crack, making it impossible to transplant rice, affecting the harvest of crops. |
