As the summer sunshine floods the earth, we welcome a special festival - Grain Buds. Grain Buds, with its poetic name, is not only one of the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar, but also the second signal of the arrival of summer. Between May 20-22 every year, Grain Buds arrives on schedule, like a messenger from nature, telling us that summer is really here!
当夏日的阳光洒满大地，我们迎来了一个特别的节气——小满。小满，这个富有诗意的名字，不仅是农历二十四节气之一，更是夏天到来的第二个信号。每年5月20-22日之间，小满如期而至，如同大自然的信使，告诉我们：夏天，真的来了！
A Collective Interpretation of the Seventy-two Phenological terms mentioned: "Grain Buds mostly occurs in mid-April, when everything is slightly full." Grain Buds, meaning that the summer crops of the seeds began to grout full, although not fully mature, but the fullness and hope has been revealed. This is not only a gift of nature, but also a beautiful symbol of our lives.
《月令七十二候集解》中提到：“四月中，小满者，物至于此小得盈满。”小满，寓意着夏熟作物的籽粒开始灌浆饱满，虽未完全成熟，但那份盈满与希望已然显现。这不仅是大自然的馈赠，更是对我们生活的美好寓意。
Grain Buds has three seasons: "First, the bitter vegetable flourishes, second, the grass dies, and third, the fall comes, the wheat is ripe." With the change of the festival, bitter greens become more and more luxuriant, the grass gradually withers, and the ears of wheat in the field are ripe, signaling the arrival of a good harvest. In the north, at the time of Grain Buds, the wheat gradually matures but is not yet full. In the south, the rainfall during Grain Buds is abundant, the rivers and lakes are full of water, and the farmland is busy, which is a testimony to the farmers' hard work.
小满有三候：“一候苦菜秀，二候靡草死，三候麦秋至。”随着节气的更迭，苦菜愈发繁茂，青草在阳光下逐渐枯萎，而麦田里，麦穗开始金黄，预示着丰收的到来。在北方，小满时节，麦子逐渐成熟，但尚未饱满。而在南方，小满时节雨水充盈，江河湖塘水量丰沛，农田里一片繁忙景象，正是农人们辛勤耕耘的见证。
The traditional customs of Grain Buds are colorful, sacrificing to the god of the car, sacrificing to the god of silkworms, circling the three spirits, eating bitter vegetables, grabbing water, etc., all of which are prayers for a good harvest and a better life. These customs contain the farmers' reverence and gratitude for nature, as well as the desire and pursuit of a better life.
小满的传统习俗丰富多彩，祭车神、祭蚕神、绕三灵、吃苦菜、抢水等，都是对丰收与美好生活的祈愿。这些习俗中，蕴含着农民们对自然的敬畏与感恩，也寄托着对美好生活的向往与追求。
During Grain Buds, the rainfall is abundant and the rivers are overflowing. This not only brings vitality and vigor to the earth, but also adds a lot of delicious food to our table. Fish and shrimp are fat, mulberry is sweet, every bite is full of the unique flavor of Grain Buds season.
小满时节，雨水充沛，江河满溢。这不仅为大地带来了生机与活力，也为我们的餐桌增添了许多美味佳肴。鱼虾肥美，桑葚甘甜，每一口都充满了小满时节的独特风味。
Into the Grain Buds, the temperature gradually rise, rain increased. In the face of such a change in the weather, we may wish to adjust the mood, to "Grain Buds" mentality to face life. Let us in the busy and hustle and bustle, find that inner peace and quiet. Grain Buds season, everything is full. May we all harvest happiness and joy in this season of hope!
进入小满后，气温逐渐升高，雨水增多。面对这样的天气变化，我们不妨调整心情，以“小满”的心态面对生活。让我们在忙碌与喧嚣中，找到那份内心的平和与宁静。小满时节，万物盈满。愿我们都能在这个充满希望的季节里，收获满满的幸福与喜悦！
