On May 20th, Xiaoman did not forget to "eat 2 kinds and eat 2 meats", following the tradition, clearing dampness and heat and nourishing yin
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Xiaoman is coming. There is a folk proverb that "the small is full and the rivers are gradually full", which shows that the small full solar term is not only high temperature and high humidity, but also rainy.
