How are the twenty-four solar terms named? Why is there only a small full and not a big full?

Zhang Bo, a researcher at the Beijing Studies Research Base of Beijing Union University, introduced that Xiaoman generally believes that it means that the wheat grains in the north have begun to be filled at this time and are not yet full; some believe that Xiaoman reflects the climatic characteristics of increasing rainfall, the so-called "small full and small full, the rivers are gradually full". But whatever it means, there is no combination of small and large. For the reason why there is no "big full", everyone generally explains it with "full of losses and humble benefits", and things that are too complete will change in a bad direction, reflecting the dialectical thinking of Chinese.
