The second solar term of the summer, Xiaoman, falls on Saturday. It is also the eighth of the 24 solar terms of a year, according to the Chinese lunar
calendar of the year. Just like its English name “Grain Buds”, Xiaoman is the subtle
period of time when the grains are about to ripen but are not quite there yet. If the rainfall is sufficient, the following season of rice planting is guaranteed.
