"The first point of the Doujia is Xiaoman, and all things grow little at this time. Wheat reaches Xiaoman at this time but is not fully ripe, hence the name." This means that from Xiaoman onwards, summer crops such as barley and winter wheat have already borne fruit, and the grains are gradually becoming full, but are not yet mature, so it is called Xiaoman. In ancient China, Grain Full was divided into three stages : "The first stage is the blooming of bitter herbs; the second stage is the death of weeds; the third stage is the arrival of autumn wheat harvest." This means that during the Grain Full solar term, bitter herbs have grown lush branches and leaves; while some shade-loving grasses with thin branches begin to wither and die under the strong sunlight; and at this time, wheat begins to mature. The Story of XiaomanThere is a custom of worshiping silkworms in the Jiangnan area. Although there are many versions of the story of the Silkworm God, the story is always told in the context of the Grain Full solar term.The Silkworm God Presents Silk: In ancient times, there were many clans and tribes living on the vast land of our motherland. At that time, a tribe called the Yellow Emperor defeated another tribe called the Jiuli. To celebrate the victory, Huangdi, the leader of the Huangdi clan, held a grand celebration. When people were celebrating the victory with great joy, they suddenly saw a beautiful girl with a piece of horse skin stuck on her body floating down from the sky. She held two bundles of silk in her hands, one as yellow as gold, the other as white as silver, and came to present them to the Yellow Emperor. The girl who offered silk was the legendary "Silkworm God". When Huangdi saw this rare thing, he praised it highly and asked people to weave it into silk. The woven silk is light and soft, like the moving clouds in the sky and the flowing water in the stream. The original linen can simply not be compared with it. Huangdi's first wife, Leizu, raised silkworms herself and taught the method to the people. |
