About the Grain Buds Solar Term

小满(grain buds)是二十四节气之一，夏季的第二个节气。于每年5月20-22日交节。小满时节，我国大部分地区已渐次进入夏季，南北温差进一步缩小，降水进一步增多。南方地区往往会出现持续大范围的强降水，民间有“小满江河满”的说法，在这里，小满中的“满”，指雨水之盈。北方地区，小满意为夏熟作物的籽粒开始饱满，但尚未完全成熟，只是小满，还未大满。

Grain Buds, known as “Xiaoman” (小满) in Chinese, is one of the 24 traditional Chinese solar terms and marks the second solar term of summer. It typically falls between May 20 and May 22 each year.

During this period, most regions in China have entered early summer. The temperature difference between the north and the south continues to narrow, and precipitation increases significantly. In southern China, this term is often associated with continuous and widespread heavy rainfall. A traditional saying goes, "Rivers are full during Grain Buds," referring to the abundance of rainwater at this time.

In northern China, crops that ripen in early summer begin to develop plump grains during this period, though they are not yet fully mature. The term “Xiaoman”, meaning “slightly full,” reflects this stage in the agricultural cycle—where grains are beginning to fill out, but have not reached full ripeness.

在小满期间，夏收即将开始。在这段时间有一个说法，大雨让河流注满了水。由于降雨量的增加，河流中充满了水，使得鱼和虾变得又大又肥。现在是吃鱼和虾的好时候。对渔民来说，这也是收获季节。

During the Grain Buds period, the summer harvest is about to begin. A saying about rain during this time mentions, “A heavy rainfall makes the river full.” Because of the great increase in rainfall, rivers are full of water, which makes fish and shrimp big and fat. This is a good time to eat fish and shrimps. It is also harvest season for fishermen.
