Every year around may 21st , the xiaoman solar term arrives , abundant rainwater   is essential for a good harvest  ,  the silkworms ,the cart dirties of the  symbols of wealth and prosperity  . And folks hold cultural  activities, expressing their gratitude . 

Lesser fullness ,xiaoman in chinese ,is second solar term in summer , while it is getting  steadily hotter and wetter , the wheat grains become fuller by  day , but they’re nowhere near ripe enough for  harvesting yet . The ancient Chinese gave this  season its characteristic by calling its xiaoman , or lesser fullness ,  

in the fertile southeast of china , One of the legends of midsummer  is the birthday ,of the goddness  of silk 

Shenze town  ,wujiang city , this is the one of the four most important historical center of silk in  china , and it’s importance had grown, 

As  it has become a sophisticated production and distribution center .  I hear that over  ten billion meters  of silk come from this place every single year .
