A pivotal solar term in Chinese agrarian wisdom, Xiaoman (‘Small Fullness’) marks nature’s balance:
South: Rivers swell with rains, nurturing rice paddies
North: Wheat grains plump toward harvest under arid skies
Ancient farmers honored this phase with rituals like ‘Praying to Water Deities’ and ‘Awakening Silk Looms’—reminding us today:
Growth thrives where preparation meets patience.
