Rain, the second of the twenty-four solar terms and the second of spring, ends around February 19 in the Gregorian calendar and ends around March 5. Rain is one of the solar terms that indicates precipitation. It means that the precipitation has begun and the amount of rain has increased, and it also means that in the form of precipitation, the snow has decreased and the rain has increased. On rainy days, there is a custom of women returning to their mothers' homes in Sichuan, mainland China. A married daughter should bring gifts back to visit her parents and thank them for their nurturing grace. In ancient mainland China, the Hakka people had the custom of "occupying rice color" during the rain festival. By frying the glutinous rice flowers, the color of the glutinous rice flowers is good or bad, to divinate the yield of rice that year.
Rain is tempered, and temperatures rise above 0 °C in most parts of the continent, so snowfall decreases and rainfall increases. This festival thaws a large amount of ice and snow, consumes a lot of heat, and the temperature rise slows down, and only parts of south China usher in spring. The continent is vast, the climate between the north and the south is very different, the rainy season precipitation is more than the north, often can not meet the needs of agricultural production, so there is a "spring rain as expensive as oil" saying.

Rainwater poetry appreciation
Spring nights are rainy
Don Du Fu
Good rain knows the season, when spring is happening.
Dive into the night with the wind, and the moisturizer is silent.
The wild trails are dark and the river boats are alone.
Xiao looked at the red wet place, and the flowers were heavy in the official city.
Spring
Don Lee Shang-yin
Lying in the new year white robes, the white door is rare and disobedient.
The Red Chamber looked at each other cold in the rain, and the bead foil lantern returned alone.
The long way should be sad and late in the spring, and the remnants of the night are still faint.
Yu Yu Zhen Za He Yu Da, Wanli Yun Luo a goose flying.
