When is the Grain Full solar term in 2018?

Monday, May 21, 2018, the seventh day of the fourth lunar month;
Grain Full is the eighth solar term among the twenty-four solar terms. It is a solar term that indicates phenological changes. 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. Because "the beginning of summer is the time for planting rice seedlings, and the grains start to grow in autumn", Grain Man is the right season for planting rice.
During the Grain Full season, all things are lush and growing most vigorously. The physiological activities of the human body are also at their most active period. The nutrients consumed are the most among the 24 solar terms in the four seasons, so at this time, timely and appropriate nutrition should be supplemented to protect the internal organs from damage. For the health preservation during Grain Full, one should follow the principle of "no oversleeping and light eating".

What are the three signs of Grain Full?

“Three Signs of Grain Full”: the first sign is the blooming of bitter herbs, the second sign is the death of weeds, and the third sign is the arrival of Minor Heat.
Bitter Herb Show: "Bi Ya" uses 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 flourishing but are fruitful are called Xiu, and those that are flourishing but not fruitful 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.
It was originally the beginning of Lesser Heat, but later in the History of Jin Dynasty it was changed to the beginning of Wheat Autumn. "Monthly Ordinances" states: "The wheat harvest arrives in April; the Lesser Heat arrives in May. The Lesser Heat is the middle solar term in April, so it is changed. Autumn is the time when all grains mature. Although it is summer at this time, it is autumn for wheat, so it is called the wheat harvest."
