20 17 when is xiaoman? Xiaoman solar term is the second solar term in summer. It means that the seeds of summer crops are full, but immature, just small and not full. After Xiaoman, high temperature weather above 35℃ began to appear from the south of the Yellow River to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the rainfall in Xiaoman solar terms gradually increased, and the rainfall also increased.
20 17 is full on may 2 1 day of the Gregorian calendar.
Xiaoman's traditional custom of grabbing water and offering sacrifices to car gods
In the past, irrigation and drainage with waterwheels was an important event in rural areas. As the saying goes, "a small truck moves three cars (three cars refer to silk cars, oil cars and water wheels)." Start the waterwheel when it is full. Previously, farmers held a ceremony of "grabbing water" with the village fair as the unit, which was intended to drill in Haining area.
Sacrificing the car god is also an ancient custom in rural areas. It is said that the "Car God" is a white dragon, and farmers will put fish and incense on the bottom seat of the car to worship it before drinking water. What is special is that there is a cup of white water in the sacrifice, which is poured into the field during the sacrifice, which means wishing the water source flourish. The above old customs show that farmers attach importance to water conservancy irrigation and drainage.
Xiao Man Dongsanche
The three cars here refer to waterwheels, oil trucks and silk trucks. At this time, the crops in the farmland need a lot of water, so the farmers are busy turning water on the waterwheel; The harvested rapeseed is also waiting for farmers to mash it and make it into fragrant rapeseed oil; The farm work in the field cannot be delayed. But the young silkworms at home should also be taken care of carefully. Before and after Xiaoman, silkworms will start to cocoon, and sericulture households are busy reeling silk with a silk cart. "Jia Qinglu" records: "Xiaoman first came here, and the silkworm woman cooked cocoons, treated the reeling of cars, and worked day and night." It can be seen that in ancient times, the solar terms were full, new silk was about to be listed, and the silk market was about to turn prosperous. All silk farmers and silk merchants are full of expectations, waiting for the harvest day to come as soon as possible.
Silkworm god's birthday
Xiaoman Festival is said to be the birthday of the silkworm god, so on this day, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, which are famous for raising silkworms in China, are also very lively. Xiaoman Festival is in early summer, when the cocoon takes shape, it is just waiting for reeling. Planting mulberry and sericulture is a traditional sideline in rural areas in the south of the Yangtze River. Silkworm is a treasure and a food source for villagers, and people are full of expectation and gratitude for it. So this festival is full of rich silk folk customs.
The third-class characteristics of Xiaoman are "Xiaoman third-class": the first-class bitter vegetable show, the second-class weeds dying, and the third-class summer.
Bitter vegetable show: Ya Ya takes tea as bitter vegetable. Shi Mao said, "Who says tea is bitter?" Yeah, yeah. Bao said, "It is bitter to feel the gas of fire." Er Ya said, "Those who are disrespectful and dishonest are called beautiful, and those who are disrespectful and dishonest are called English." This bitter dish should be said in English. Bao said, "It is bitter to feel the gas of fire." Cai Yong's "Moon Order" refers to a little bitter walking with a stem.
A grass died; Zheng Kangcheng and Bao Jingxiang both said: A grass belongs to Zhan Bi. Note in the Book of Rites: "The branches and leaves of the grass are not fine." Fang said: "Everything born in the sun is strong; Those who are born with yin are soft and unyielding. " It is said that grass destroys people and is born in yin, and it is impossible to die in yang.
It turned out to be the summer solstice, and later the record in the Book of Golden History was changed to the autumn solstice. "Moon Order": "Wheat autumn to April; The summer of solstice is in May. Xiaoman is in the middle of April, so it's easy. Autumn, a hundred valleys mature, this is summer, and the wheat is autumn, so it is also the cloud of wheat autumn. "
Xiaoman's climate feature is the eighth of the 24 solar terms. Judging from the climatic characteristics, from Xiaoman solar term to the next Mang solar term, all parts of the country entered summer one after another, and the temperature difference between the north and the south further narrowed. With the further increase of precipitation, severe weather such as rainstorm, thunderstorm, strong wind and hail is prone to occur.

Medical precautions in Xiao Man 1, stay up late less.
Because after the solar term expires, the days are long, the nights are short, the temperature is high, the human body's metabolism is vigorous, the consumption is also large, and it is easy to get tired. If you stay up late for a long time, it will cause the disorder of people's physiological body and metabolic system, leading to excessive internal heat, which is easy to cause constipation, oral ulcer, sore throat and other symptoms of excessive internal heat. Therefore, in the hot summer, the effective way to prevent getting angry is to work regularly and avoid staying up late.
Step 2 pay attention to clothes
The temperature rises gradually after the small fullness, so the dress should be loose and comfortable, which is convenient for activities, cool and ventilated, and conducive to heat dissipation. Generally speaking, the smaller the body area covered by clothes, the faster the body temperature is lost, but in hot summer, don't mistakenly think that the more exposed you are, the cooler you will be, because only when the outside temperature is lower than the skin temperature will you feel cool when exposed. When the outside air temperature is higher than the skin temperature, the exposed area should not exceed 25% of the total surface area of the human body, otherwise the thermal radiation will invade the skin and become hotter.
Step 3 avoid catching a cold
After a short day, the temperature rises obviously and the rainfall increases, but it will still be cold in the morning and evening, and the daily temperature difference is still large, especially after the rain, to avoid catching a cold, especially when sleeping at night. Otherwise, the evil of cold and dampness stays on the skin and turns into heat, which is easy to cause skin diseases such as rubella and eczema; Staying in joints can easily lead to various rheumatic diseases. Although I don't usually sleep on rocks or cold ground now, air conditioning, summer sleeping mat, cold bath and short skirt may bring a lot of cold and dampness. If you accidentally come into contact with damp and cold, you can get rid of dampness by exercising or taking a hot bath.
4. Take a cold shower carefully
As the weather gets hot, many people like to take a cold bath. In this regard, it is especially reminded that cold water bath is good, but it is not suitable for everyone. For example, people who are physically weak or suffer from high blood pressure and arthritis should not take a cold bath to avoid harm to their bodies.
5. Eat less cold food
After entering Xiaoman, the temperature rises, and people often like to use cold drinks to cool down, but excessive cold drinks can lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea and other diseases. Eating a cold diet at this time is likely to cause gastrointestinal discomfort and abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. Because children's digestive system is underdeveloped and the visceral function of the elderly is gradually declining, this situation is more likely to occur in children and the elderly. Therefore, we should pay attention to avoid eating too much cold food in our diet.
6. Don't lose your temper.
People tend to sweat in hot weather, but Chinese medicine has always regarded sweat as "the liquid of the heart". Excessive sweating naturally consumes heart yin, which leads to more deficiency of heart yang and makes people feel tired. This is called "eating gas by fire", that is, if the fire is too strong, the gas in our body will be consumed. Therefore, in the hot summer climate, we should always pay attention to the harm of heart fire to human body. First of all, just don't lose your temper and add fuel to the fire. In Su Wen's theory of four qi regulating the spirit, it is also mentioned that "making the will not be angry", that is, people should be careful not to lose their temper because of irritability. "Let the gas vent, if it is suffering from the outside world", let the gas vent peacefully and freely, just like suffering from the outside world.
Now many people know the 24 solar terms, but they are not clear about the origin and customs of these solar terms. Here is a detailed introduction for everyone. You can try to eat more of these foods in the full season, which is very beneficial to protect our health.
