24 solar term Xiaoman proverbs and explanations

South China: "Xiaoman and Daman are full of rivers" reflects the climate characteristics of this region with heavy rainfall and heavy rainfall.

Generally speaking, if the cold air from the north can penetrate deep into the southern regions of my country at this time, and the warm and humid air flow from the south is also strong, it will easily cause heavy rains or extremely heavy rains in South China. Therefore, the later period of the Xiaoman solar term is often an important stage for flood control in these areas.

The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River: "There is no rainfall in the Xiaoman, and there are less yellow plums." , it may be that the subtropical high pressure in the Pacific is weak and located southward, which means that during the Huangmei season, there may be less precipitation. Therefore, there is a folk proverb that says, "If there is no rain when the sky is full, there will be less yellow plums."

In the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River: "When Xiaoman is dissatisfied, Mai is in danger."

During the Xiaoman solar term, there is also a saying in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River: "When Xiaoman is dissatisfied, Mai is in danger." . This "first risk" means that the wheat has just entered the milk-ripening stage at this time and is very susceptible to damage by hot and dry winds, which will lead to insufficient wheat filling, shriveled grains and reduced yields.

There are many ways to defend against hot and dry winds, such as building protective forest belts and spraying chemicals, which are all very effective measures.

Jiangnan area: "Xiao Man drives three carts and is so busy that I don't even know him."

The three carts here refer to water carts, oil carts and silk carts. . At this time, the crops in the farmland need sufficient water, and the farmers are busy riding water trucks to turn over the water; the harvested rapeseed is also waiting for the farmers to pound it to make fragrant rapeseed oil; in the field Naturally, the farm work cannot be delayed. But the silkworm babies at home also need to be taken care of carefully. Around Xiaoman, the silkworms will start to spin cocoons, and the silkworm farmers are busy shaking the silk wheel to reel the silk. "Qing Jia Lu" records: "When Xiaoman arrived, the silkworm woman cooked cocoons, worked on the wheel and reeled silk, and worked day and night." It can be seen that in ancient times, new silk was about to be launched during the Xiaoman solar term, and the silk market was about to turn prosperous. Silkworm farmers and silk merchants were all full of expectations, waiting for the day of harvest to come soon.

In addition, during the Xiaoman solar term, rivers and lakes in the Jiangnan area are often full. If they are not full, it must be a year of drought and lack of rain. There are many proverbs in this regard. For example, in Anhui, Jiangxi, and Hubei provinces, there is a saying that "a small man is dissatisfied, and there is no water to wash the dishes."; in Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou and other regions, there is a farmer's proverb that "a small man is dissatisfied, and the fields are cut off." There is also a saying in Sichuan Province. As the saying goes, "If the plow is not full, the plow will hang high." The word "full" here does not mean that the crop grains are full, but means that there is a lot of rain.
