Why is there no Daman at Xiaoman?

Among the 24 solar terms, "Xiaoman" and "Mangzhong" not only do not correspond to each other literally, but their meanings are also the least direct among all the solar terms. Most of the 24 solar terms are named after the characteristics of climate and environment. Only "Xiaoman" and "Mangzhong" are special and the most difficult to understand.
The ancient almanac states: "The finger of the Dou is the Grain Full, and all things grow but are not fully grown at this time. Wheat reaches Grain Full at this time but is not fully ripe, hence the name." The explanation given for "Mangzhong" in the "Collection of Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" is: "The festival in May, when the grains with awns can be planted." It means that by the time of Grain Full, wheat is almost ripe, but not fully ripe; when Grain in Ear arrives, grains with awns should be planted. In "Yanbao Outan" by Gu Yuanqing of the Ming Dynasty, it is believed that the two solar terms, Grain Full and Mangzhong, "both refer to wheat", meaning that they both refer to the maturity and harvest of wheat. The statement in "Yanbao Outan" is actually the viewpoint of people in the Song Dynasty. The book "Lazy True Son" says: "They all refer to wheat. Grain in Ear is the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and the wheat is ripe at this time. Grain in Ear is the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and the word '种' is pronounced like '种' in '种', which means that the wheat with awns is wheat, and it should be ripe by this time."
The ancients had long been aware of this. Ma Yongqing of the Song Dynasty recorded their doubts in his book Lazy True Son: "The names of the 24 solar terms can all be explained, except for Grain in Ear and Grain in Ear, which have different interpretations." Lang Ying of the Ming Dynasty raised a more direct question in the entry "Grain in Ear and Grain in Ear" in his book Seven Revisions of Classified Drafts: Heaven and Earth: "The 24 solar terms include Lesser Heat, Greater Heat, Lesser Cold, Greater Cold, Lesser Snow, and Greater Snow. Why is there Lesser Heat but no Greater Heat?"

What is the solar term after Xiaoman?

The next solar term after Lixia is Mangzhong .
Grain in Ear, the ninth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms, the third solar term in summer, and the beginning of the Wu month in the Ganzhi calendar. When the Big Dipper points to Si, the sun's ecliptic longitude reaches 75°, and the solar term falls on June 5-7 of the Gregorian calendar every year.
During the Grain in Ear season, the temperature rises significantly, the rainfall is abundant, and the air humidity is high, which is suitable for the planting of late rice and other cereal crops. Farming is divided by the "Mangzhong" solar term. After this solar term, the survival rate of crops will become lower and lower. It is a reflection of the ancient farming culture on festivals.
