2025 Grain Buds Arrives!

On May 21, 2025, Grain Buds (Xiaoman) arrives right on schedule. As the second solar term of summer, Xiaoman embodies the philosophical idea of “partial fullness”—when things grow toward maturity but have not yet reached their peak. It is both a tribute to ancient agrarian wisdom and a metaphor for the balanced progression of modern technology. On this meaningful day, let us explore the fascinating resonance between traditional customs and cutting-edge chip technology.

Xiaoman, which literally means “Little Fullness,” marks a stage when the wheat grains in northern China are filling out but not yet ripe—symbolizing a moment of growth intertwined with hope. In the fields of the north, this is a critical phase of grain filling, and farmers are actively applying a technique known as “one spray, three protections” to guard crops against hot, dry winds. Meanwhile, in the Jiangnan region, the saying “Xiaoman sets three carts in motion” captures the bustling agricultural scene: waterwheels for irrigation, oil mills for pressing, and silk reels for spinning. These images reflect the ancient wisdom of “acting in harmony with nature.”

This appreciation for the "not yet full" state mirrors the persistent, forward-looking spirit of the electronics industry, where every stage of technological evolution is both a milestone and a stepping stone.

Recent developments in the semiconductor sector echo Xiaoman's theme of “gathering momentum.” On May 19, NVIDIA announced a complete withdrawal from the Chinese market for its Hopper architecture chips due to policy restrictions. Almost simultaneously, Xiaomi revealed the successful development of its Xuanjie O1 chip, built on a 3nm process—a breakthrough that marks a significant leap for domestic semiconductors in advanced manufacturing.

Just like the Xiaoman solar term—not yet full, but filled with potential—the semiconductor industry continues its deliberate climb toward innovation. The seeds have been sown, the energy gathered; now, we await a bountiful harvest in the seasons ahead.
