What are the taboos and do’s and don’ts during the Grain Full solar term in 2019?

The old custom taboos the Grain Full Day to be on the Jiazi Day or the Gengchen Day
There is such a record in the old imperial calendar: "On the Jiazi and Gengchen days of Grain Full, locusts will regularly damage the seedlings." This shows that in the old days people were superstitious about Grain Full day being the Jiazi day or the Gengchen day.
People believe that if Grain Full falls on Jiazi or Gengchen, there will be a locust plague during the autumn harvest season, eating up all the farmers' hard work for the year.
It is taboo not to rain during Xiaoman
Some places also refuse to have rain on the Grain Full Day, just like the saying goes "If it doesn't rain on the Grain Full Day, the wheat will be in danger" and "If it doesn't rain on the Grain Full Day, there's no need to worry about it in Mangzhong". The dissatisfaction here refers to the insufficient water volume in rivers, ditches, ponds and dams.
Xiaoman is a taboo for the elderly to "sit on a hard wood"
As the saying goes, "Don't sit on stone in winter and don't sit on wood in summer." During this solar term, the temperature is high and the humidity is high. Wood, especially wood that has been left outdoors for a long time, such as chairs and stools. It is exposed to dew and rain and contains a lot of water. It looks dry on the surface, but when it is exposed to the sun and the temperature rises, it will emit moisture. If you sit on it for a long time, it will make people prone to indigestion, skin diseases, hemorrhoids, rheumatism, arthritis and other diseases. Therefore, during the Grain Full solar term, you should be careful not to sit on wood placed in the open air for a long time.
The second is not to sit on a "hard" bench. If the elderly sit on a hard bench for a long time, they are prone to ischial tuberosity bursitis. As soon as the buttocks touch the bench, they will feel pain and it is difficult to cure. Therefore, the elderly should always have a thin mat to prevent illness.

What does Xiaoman mean?

Grain buds is one of the 24 solar terms and the second solar term in summer. Xiaoman - its meaning is that the grains of summer crops begin to fill with juice but are not yet mature. It is only Xiaoman, not Daman. Grain Full Moon occurs when the sun reaches 60° of the ecliptic longitude between May 20 and 22 every year.

Analysis of the three phases of Grain Full:

In ancient my country, Grain Full was divided into three phases: "The first phase is when bitter herbs bloom, the second phase is when all the grass dies, and the third phase is when the wheat harvest arrives."
This means that after the Grain Full solar term, the bitter herbs have grown lush branches and leaves; afterwards, some shade-loving grasses with thin branches begin to wither and die under the strong sunlight; in the last period of Grain Full, wheat begins to mature.
"Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" says: "In the middle of April, things are small but full." At this time, the grains of summer crops such as wheat in northern China have begun to become full but have not yet matured, which is roughly equivalent to the late milky stage, so it is called Xiaoman.
Judging from the climate characteristics, during the period from the Grain Full solar term to the next Grain in Ear solar term, all parts of the country gradually enter summer, the temperature difference between the north and the south further narrows, and precipitation further increases.
