Usher in the "rain" festival
The spring breeze gradually blows all over the earth
Snow and ice melt
The air began to get wet
Everywhere there is a thriving scene
After the rain, everything begins to sprout, and the three rains reflect this characteristic.
Rain for three days
A waiting otter sacrifices fish | It's about the rainy season, the ice on the surface melts, and the otters start fishing. Otters like to put fish on the shore after biting and placing them in a sequential manner, like sacrifices, so there is a saying of "otter sacrifice fish".
The second Waiting Hongyan came to | It means that after 5 days, the weather in the south is warm, the geese begin to fly back from the south to the north, and the migratory birds come and go with the changes of the yin and yang of heaven and earth to adapt to the climate.
Three waiting grasses and trees sprouted | It means that in another 5 days, the yin and yang between heaven and earth will intersect, and there will be vitality, and the grass and trees will begin to sprout by taking advantage of this vitality, and in the spring rain of "moisturizing and silent", the grass and trees will begin to pull out young shoots. Since then, the earth has gradually begun to show a thriving scene.

Take the birthday
The custom of receiving life means to wish your father-in-law and mother-in-law a long life of 100 years. This is a tribute to the father-in-law and mother-in-law who have worked hard to raise their daughters to adulthood. If it is a newlywed son-in-law to send a festival, the father-in-law and mother-in-law will also give back an umbrella, let the son-in-law go out to run, can cover the wind and rain, and also wish the son-in-law a smooth and peaceful life journey.
Living and wellness
Although the rainy season is not as cold as the cold winter moon, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the human skin has become relatively loose, and the resistance to wind and cold has weakened, so the elderly often say that they should pay attention to spring cover.
After the rain, the spring wind sends warmth, and the pathogenic bacteria and viruses are easy to spread with the wind, so the spring infectious diseases are often prone to outbreaks of influenza. Everyone should protect themselves, pay attention to exercise, strengthen resistance, and prevent the occurrence of diseases.
During the rainy season, the moisture of the ground gradually rises, and there is dew and frost in the morning. Therefore, in view of such climatic characteristics, attention should be paid to nourishing the spleen and stomach and removing wind and dehumidification. In spring, the liver is strong and the spleen is weak, and the diet should be less sour and sweet, and more dates, spinach, water chestnut, sugar cane, artemisia annua, yam and so on can be eaten.
Rainwater poetry
"Happy Rain on Spring Night"
(Tang) 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.
"Early Spring Rain"
(Tang) Han Yu
The light rain on the sky street is as moist as crisp, and the grass color is close but not there.
The most is the benefit of spring of the year, which is better than the smoke and willow full of imperial capital.
"Night Rain Sends North"
(Tang) Li Shangyin
Junwen returned to the autumn pond at night.
He Dang cut the candle in the west window together, but when it rained at night.
Today's rain
On this wonderful spring day
Let us cultivate the land
Sow hope
Welcome a new world
