In China, a year has 24 solar terms. They were created thousands of years ago to guide people's lives. Grain Buds or Xiaoman, the 8th solar term of a year, begins on May 20 this year, and ends on June 4. Grain Buds holds both natural and cultural importance. It means that the seeds of summer crops like wheat are becoming full but are not ripe(成熟的). The name xiaoman has also special meanings in Chinese culture and shows how Chinese people think about life. The word mixes xiao, meaning little, and man, meaning"full". Together, it means"things are not yet completely full". This name shows that it is best not to do too much or too little.
Let's see what we can do during the"Grain Buds" period.
A good season for eating
During the Grain Buds period, summer harvest is about to begin. A saying about rain during this time goes, "A heavy rainfall makes the river full." Because of the great increase in rainfall, rivers are full of water, which makes fish and shrimps big and fat. This is a good time to enjoy them.
Grain Buds is also a season for eating mulberries(桑葚) and bitter herbs(苦菜) which can cool the blood and remove harmful things from the body.
A key period for flower caring
This time is a good period of the quick growth of flowers. It is also a season when plant diseases and pests are the most, which makes growing flowers even harder. Caring for your garden becomes even more important than any other time. If you take good care of them, your plants will be healthier.
High temperatures and wet days are common during the Grain Buds period. The increase in temperature over this season may make you get skin illnesses easily. It is also important to exercise during the hot summer days. Walking, jogging and practicing tai chi are popular.
