The traditional East Asian calendars divide a year into 24 solar terms (節氣). Xiǎomǎn (pīnyīn) or Shōman (rōmaji) (Traditional Chinese: 小滿; Simplified Chinese: 小满; Japanese: 小満; Korean: 소만; Vietnamese: Tiểu mãn; literally: "grain full") is 8th solar term. It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 60° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 75°. It more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 60°. In Gregorian calendar, it usually begins around May 21 and ends around June 5 (June 6 East Asia time).
