The small full solar term of "the wild tangli crow late at night, the sea pomegranate red mountain bird" is just the time when the ears of wheat are beginning to bloom and the mulberry leaves are becoming fat, and the seeds of summer crops such as wheat have begun to be full. The ancients said in "twenty-four solar term": "Those who are small are full, and things are so small that they are full." Then let the 24 solar terms introduce you to which season Xiaoman belongs.

Q: What season does Xiaoman belong to?

A: Xiaoman is the second solar term in summer.

Xiaoman is the second solar term in summer, which lasts from May 20th to 22nd every year. During the harvest season, the seeds of summer crops planted in the north of China are gradually full, and early rice begins to bear ears, and small grains of grain are seen on rice, while the southern region has also entered the summer harvest season in summer sowing.

Jiangnan "Small Man Moving Three Cars"

There is a saying among the people in the south of the Yangtze River in China that "a small man moves three cars". 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 refer to the abundance of rain with "fullness". Xiaoman is the season of topdressing early rice and transplanting rice in middle rice in the south of the Yangtze River. If the fields are not filled with water, the fields will be cracked and cannot be transplanted, which will affect the harvest of crops.

Therefore, in the year of drought, people will consider it early and arrange it skillfully, and drive the waterwheel to irrigate the paddy field with manpower or animal power. In the past, when walking along the paddy fields of remote ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, it was often seen that buffaloes covered their eyes and turned the wooden wheel of the waterwheel to drive the keel waterwheel to carry water, or that people pedaled alternately with their feet to carry water.

Xiaoman diet should avoid excessive cold.

After entering Xiaoman, the temperature is rising, and people often like to use cold drinks to cool down, but excessive cold drinks can lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea and other diseases. At this time, eating raw and cold diet is easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort and abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. Because the development of digestive system in children is not perfect, the visceral function of the elderly is gradually declining, so children and the elderly are more likely to have this situation. Therefore, attention should be paid to avoid eating too much cold food in diet.
