Xiaoman custom
Jiangnan area has the saying that "small man moves three cars". It is an image summary of Xiaoman farming in Jiangnan. The so-called "three vehicles" are waterwheel, spinning wheel and oil vehicle. In the agricultural proverb, people use "full" to refer to the abundance of rain. Xiaoman is the season for Topdressing of early rice and transplanting of medium rice in Jiangnan.
