Xiaoman is one of the 24 solar terms, the second solar term of summer, and is considered to be Xiaoman when the sun reaches 60 degrees of yellow longitude between May 20 and 22 every year. The origin of the small full solar term is in the "Seventy-two Candidate Explanations of the Lunar Order": "In April, the small full of things, the things are so small and full."
