What is the English name for Xiaoshu?

little book.

Context is very important in Chinese. So your phrase can mean the following things and more. (If your computer displays Chinese, you'll see the difference in characters.) They all pronounce the same (xiao shu) with slightly different tones.

小書: Little big
消暑: To get away from the heat
小叔: Uncle (Dad's younger brother)
小樹: Little tree
小鼠: little mouse
小暑: As ABC answered, a solar term for a date in July.

I like that name. Keep it.

xiao shu? in my opinion, it sounds like "little mouse" in chinese. but if you were to make it into an english name, xavier sounds that closest.

little summer

Same above the name.

This could mean anything: little tree? little potatoe?...

Are you talking about the market for cheap clothes and stuffs in Beijing? If so, I think you mean the Silk Market. In Mandarin, it's Shao shui.. :)

Xiaoshu is a solar term in east Asian calendars.

The west uses the Gregorian calendar instead, so there is no direct translation for the word Xiaoshu, but it is sometimes translated as 'minor heat'.

Xiaoshu is usually from around July 7 to July 23.
