Origin of Xiaoman

"Collected Explanations of the 72 Lunar Calendars" states: "In the middle of April, things are small and full."
At this time, the grains of summer crops such as wheat in the northern part of the country have begun to become full, but are not yet mature, which is approximately the late milky stage, so it is called Grain Full.
Agricultural proverbs in the southern region give Xiaoman a new meaning: "If Xiaoman is not full, the field ridges will dry up"; "If Xiaoman is not full, Mangzhong will not work."
The word "full" is used to describe the abundance or scarcity of rainwater, pointing out that if the fields are not filled with water during Grain Full, the field ridges may dry up and crack, and rice may not be planted even during Grain in Ear.
