What does the old saying in rural areas mean: "The little man is dissatisfied, but the young man doesn't care"? What does it mean? Is it practical?

The old rural saying "If you are dissatisfied with Xiaoman, you will not care about the grass" mainly refers to the rain in the Xiaoman season, which is crucial to the growth of crops. There is also a saying that during the Xiaoman season, summer crops will not be fully filled, which will lead to reduced production. This is a summary of the experience of ancient people over hundreds of years and thousands of years, which has strong guiding significance for agricultural production. In the past, there were no water pumps in agricultural production, and water was obtained through artificial rainfall and other methods. Many of them relied on the weather. Therefore, the ancients summarized many rural proverbs and rural sayings based on climate forecasting. "The little man is dissatisfied, the mango is ignored" is a climate forecast that uses the weather conditions of a certain solar term to predict the climate within a period of time. After long-term verification, it has a strong reference value.

1. Xiaoman, awn type, is the second and third solar term in summer.

Every year from May 20th to May 22nd, when the sun reaches 60 degrees of longitude, it is "Xiaoman", which is the second solar term in summer. Farmers engaged in agricultural production mainly rely on the 24 solar terms to decide when to plant and when to harvest. "Mangzhong" is the third solar term in summer, which also means the beginning of midsummer. During the Mangzhong season, southern rural areas begin to get busy, planting fields and beans.

2. "The Xiaoman is dissatisfied, but the awns are ignored." During the Xiaoman season, there is drought and little rain, which directly affects the planting and growth of crops.

In the rural areas of the south, a common saying is "The Xiaoman is dissatisfied, and the fields are cut off." . There is drought and little rain during the Xiaoman season, and generally there will be drought and little rain throughout the summer.

"The Xiaoman is dissatisfied, but the Miscanthus does not care." If it does not rain before and after the Xiaoman season, there is no need to plant during the Miscanthus season (it used to depend on the sky for food, mainly on rainwater). Even after planting, there will be drought and little rain, which will affect the harvest.

A similar rural saying is "the beginning of summer is not going down, the plow is hanging high".

Wheat is generally filled before the Xiaoman season, and the wheat grains gradually become fuller. If the wheat grains are not full during the Xiaoman season, it will be difficult to have a good harvest. Whether the summer wheat harvest is good or not mainly depends on whether the wheat grains are full during the Xiaoman season, which directly affects the wheat harvest during the awning season.

“When Xiaoman is dissatisfied, the mango will not care” refers to the rain in the Xiaoman season, which directly affects whether the rain is sufficient and whether to continue planting. It also represents summer-ripened crops. During the Xiaoman season, the grains are not full, which directly affects the harvest.
