Twenty-four solar terms of the valley rain
Jiang Baobing
Valley rain originated from the ancients "rain born of a hundred grains" said, from this day, the rain gradually increased, the air is humid, greatly conducive to the survival of cereals and other crops, they also began to grow wildly.
The arrival of the valley rain festival means that the cold wave weather is basically over, and the temperature rise is accelerated. At this time, it is the best time for the growth of crops, and planting and sowing seeds have become the main agricultural tasks in the field, and farmers have really entered the busy season from this time on.
Gu Yu is the last festival of late spring, after the gu rain, it is summer. The spring rain is silent from the moist, the wind is warm and the smoke is heavy, and then it is slouchy on the eaves, and there is a sound. Before the Qingming Dynasty, the rain was extremely powerless, and the breeze could be pulled, and the rain was separated by wicker green. After the Qingming Dynasty, the fall was like a thunderbolt, and the rain was stained with peach blossom red and pear blossom white. After the chaotic red flew over the swing, as soon as the valley rain arrived, the rain was no longer smokey, it was completely clear raindrops, and the clear color was clear. Wang Wei's "Weicheng Toward the Rain and Light Dust, Guest House Green And Willow Color New" is a particularly alluring depiction, and the hun is impregnated. After arriving in Lixia, Willow was old.
From spring to summer, it is the process of getting stronger and stronger, and summer is strong. The spring is weak, the spring clouds are thin, and the spring rain is therefore faint and continuous; when the summer air is heavy and the summer clouds are thick, the rain will become larger and larger, and the rain will become more and more urgent, coming fast and going fast. Gu rain is the farewell of spring, so there is no feminine breath in the valley rain, it is completely pure yang green, and the valley rain is therefore the rain of bathing in grains. Spring wind wind people, summer rain rain people, wind is education, rain is moist, valley rain is the prelude to summer rain.
The three seasons of Gu Yu are Pingsheng, Jiuming, and Dai Shengluosang. During the rainy season of the valley, green Pingsheng. The ancients said that Ping was transformed by Yang Hua. Yang flowers fall in the snow, fly in the sky, drift into the spring water with the wind, and turn into duckweed. Such an artistic conception, in Du Fu's vision, became "Yang Hua snow falling over Bai Ping". Su Dongpo wrote about flying flowers, which is "Dreaming with the wind, looking for where Lang went, and being called up by the warbler." "When the rain has passed, where is the trace", it is already "a pool of ping".
"The dove rain has turned into a new green, and the swallow mud has collected the residual red", this is Lu Youshi. The "dove" in the rainy season of the valley refers to the cuckoo that is planted, and there is "An" in the meaning of "dove": rations are the basis of survival, so the spring dove must be planted, and it is "An" after farming. During the rainy season in the valley, the sound of cuckoo urges planting, which is also the season when seeds fly around and butterflies are dancing around collecting pollen. At this time, the north was already green with wheat seedlings, the elm trees were full of elm money, and the wind blew the elm money like rain, and the forest could not stop around the house. In the south, the rice fields are like mirrors, the broad beans are full of clips, and the seeds of dandelions are flying everywhere in the fields.
In the distance between the flying Yu Qian and the dandelion seeds, Liu Dark Mulberry and Du Yu hurt Spring had already flown away. And Dai Sheng, sheng, sheng, ben is a headdress, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" said that the West Queen Mother "leopard tail tiger teeth and good whistle, fluffy hair Dai Sheng". Guo Pu's explanation is that jade wins. Dai Sheng is therefore a bird with a crown on its head, and the late Tang Dynasty poet Jia Dao depicts it as, "The Crown of Stars and Flowers Taoist Clothes, the Purple Yang Palace Woman Incarnates Flying", indicating that its crown is spotted and its feathers are black and white. Wang Jian's description of it is, "The purple crown collects brown feather spots, and the dragonfly flies over the house", indicating that there are spots on the purple crown and the feathers are brown and white. Dai Sheng bird fell on the mulberry tree at this time because "the spring forest is full of mulberry insects in the warm rain". This is a poem by the Ming Dynasty monk Shouren. At this time, it landed on the mulberry tree, and the silkworm began to grow.
The rain in the rainy season of the valley can best nourish all things, nourished by the water of the valley rain, the plants are more plump, the land is more fertile, the rain of the valley rain is the spirit that nourishes all things, and it is the happiness that nature gives to the living beings. All the hopes of the croppers begin with the valley rain, and there is a proverb that says: Before and after the valley rain, plant melons and beans. It shows that when it comes to the rainy season in the valley, all kinds of agricultural activities have reached a critical juncture, planting seedlings, planting a millet in the spring, and harvesting ten thousand seeds in the autumn. Of course, there will also be impatient farmers, not waiting for the valley rain to come, they will start repairing agricultural tools in advance, leveling the land, buying seeds and fertilizers, and doing various preliminary preparations. All year round, the croppers are looking forward to a smooth wind and rain, the rain of the valley rain, the spring rain is as expensive as oil, the valley rain is raining, the farmers will be ecstatic, because this indicates that this year the wind and rain will be smooth, will not be busy, there will be a good year.
