The meaning of Xiaoman

"Collected Explanations of the 72 Monthly Ordinances" says: "In the middle of April, there is Grain Full, and things at this time are small but full." It means that the grains of summer wheat crops have begun to become full but are not yet mature, and are only from Grain Full to Grain Full.
However, with the development of the southern region, Xiaoman has different interpretations in the south. An agricultural proverb says: "If the grains of crops are not full yet, the field ridges will be dry." This does not refer to whether the grains of crops are full, but to the abundance or scarcity of rain . It also explains the importance of rain to crops in the south!
