Fortune Teller.com provides you with more information related to the fourth month of the lunar calendar in 2018. Welcome to learn more! The time of Grain Full is 10:14:33 on May 21, 2018.
Start time: 10:14 am, May 21, 2018 End time: 01:29 am, June 6, 2018 Every year between May 20 and 22, when the sun reaches 60° along the ecliptic, it is considered Grain Full. This is the beginning of the hot summer and a time when diseases are more likely to occur. The name "Xiaoman" comes from the crop. The grains of summer crops have begun to fill with juice but are not yet mature. They are only in the small full stage, not the big full stage. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" says: "In the middle of April, there is the Grain Fullness, when 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 are not yet mature, which is roughly equivalent to the late milky stage, so it is called the Grain Fullness. Agricultural proverbs in the southern region give Xiaoman a new meaning: "If Xiaoman is not full, the dry trees will be cut off"; "If Xiaoman is not full, Mangzhong will not work." The word "full" is used to describe the abundance or scarcity of rainwater, pointing out that if the fields are not filled with water during Grain Full, the field ridges may dry up and crack, and rice may not be planted even during Grain in Ear.
The three signs of Grain Full are: "The first is the emergence of bitter herbs, the second is the death of all the grasses, and the third is the arrival of Minor Heat."
Bitter Herb Show: "Bi Ya" regards tea as bitter herb. The Mao Shi says, "Who says tea is bitter?" That's right. Bao said: "The bitter taste is formed by the influence of fire." "Erya" said: "Those that are not lush but bear fruit are called Xiu, and those that are lush but not bear fruit are called Ying." This bitter vegetable should be called Ying. Bao said: "The bitter taste is formed by the influence of fire." Cai Yong's "Monthly Ordinances" refers to it as bitter phragmites.
Mi Cao is dead: Zheng Kangcheng and Bao Jingxiang both said: Mi Cao is a member of the family of Trichosanthes. The note of "Book of Rites" says: "The branches and leaves of grass are not fine." Fang said: "All things that are born from the influence of Yang are strong and stand firm; those that are born from the influence of Yin are soft and weak." The so-called weak grass is born from the extreme Yin, so it cannot overcome the extreme Yang and dies.
