Xiaoman, as one of the 24 traditional Chinese solar terms, is a solar term full of agricultural culture, usually between May 20 and 22 of the Gregorian calendar every year, marking the deepening of summer and an important stage of crop growth.
The origin of Xiaoman can be traced back to the ancient Chinese agricultural civilization, which is the crystallization of a set of wisdom that reflects the laws of natural climate change and agricultural production activities summed up by the ancient Chinese ancestors in the long-term agricultural production practice. There is a cloud in "The Seventy-two Candidate Explanations of the Lunar Order": "In April, the small is full, and the things are so small and full." This means that in the small full season, summer crops such as wheat in the northern region begin to fill the grain, but they are not yet fully ripe and are in a state of "small fullness", hence the name.
Worshipping the god of chariots is an ancient tradition during the Little Manchu season, especially in some rural areas. It is said that the god of the car is a white dragon, and people will place offerings such as fish and incense candles on the base of the waterwheel on this day, and pour a cup of white water into the field during the worship, implying that the water is abundant and the irrigation is smooth, and the crops are nourished by good water.
During the small full season, the temperature rises and the rain begins to increase, which is essential for the growth of crops. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that "if the small man is dissatisfied, the wheat is in danger", which means that if the rain is insufficient at this time, it will affect the output of wheat and other summer grains.
With the arrival of Xiaoman, the temperature gradually rises, and the human body is susceptible to dampness and heat, so during this period, pay attention to the light diet, eat more food, such as mung beans, barley, etc., and pay attention to heatstroke prevention and cooling. Xiaoman is coming, remember to "eat 3 foods and do 3 things"! Follow the seasonal customs and spend the summer in good health for the whole family.

"Do 3 things"
1. Wake up early: As the days get longer, waking up early can allow people to fully absorb the fresh air and yang energy of nature, which helps to refresh the mind and enhance the body. Mornings are the most refreshing time of the day, and it is advisable to do a moderate amount of outdoor activities, such as walking, jogging or practicing tai chi, which will not only improve blood circulation and strengthen immunity, but also adjust the body clock and improve energy levels during the day.
