Complacency leads to loss, while modesty brings benefit. Today is Xiaoman, or Lesser Fullness of Grain, which is the solar term of the year that fully embodies the wisdom of the Chinese people.

The full moon wanes, and a full basin overflows. Siling Duixiu has the same meaning as Xiaoman. If you let the elements cover the entire picture, it is difficult to obtain an elegant work. Only the lesser fullness is suitable.

满招损，谦受益。今日，小满 ，是一年中最体现中国人智慧的节气。

月盈则亏，水满则溢。丝绫堆绣，亦如小满寓意一样，整张铺就难以品出一抹雅韵，方小满而适。
