Gu Yu is the sixth of the twenty-four solar terms and the last of spring. As soon as the valley rain came, the temperature increased significantly, the amount of rain was getting bigger and bigger, and the first seedlings and new crops in the field needed the moisture of the rain the most, and the so-called spring rain was as expensive as oil. The cuckoos in the sky were also flying around, barking incessantly, reminding the peasant uncle that it was time to go down to the ground to plant melons and beans.

But why is it called Gu Yu? Legend has it that Cangjie did not want to be rewarded by heaven, but only asked God to let people have abundant grain, so God gave the world a rain of grain, so this day is called valley rain. The Valley Rain Festival Cangjie is a folk tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years since the Han Dynasty.

Gu Yu also has some customs, revolving around eating, drinking, playing, and having fun. Eat, we can eat toon, before and after the valley rain, the toon is tender as silk, eating toon is also called eating spring. Drink, we can drink Guyu tea, legend, on this day to drink this tea, there is a nominal role in lowering fire. Play, play what? Take you to enjoy the flowers, the old saying has clouds, Gu Yu three dynasties to see the peony, you can take your parents with you, everyone goes to enjoy the peony flowers together.

What about music? You can walk the valley rain, the valley rain this day to visit the door, or go to the wild to walk around, and be happy and healthy. In ancient times, fishermen would sacrifice to the sea during the rain in the valley, and on this day it was also called the Zhuangxing Festival. The rain increases, the fish are more and more, the fishermen can go to the sea to catch fish, everyone will carry out sacrifice activities, sacrifice to the sea, put their own sacrifice items on the seashore, beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers, the scene is very spectacular.

You see, the fresh and vivid gu rain, giggling and running, came running; you listen, she sang while running:

The spring rain is draining, and the valley rain is good. The cuckoo was loud and the farmers were busy.

Cangjie made words diligently, and it rained in the valleys of the sky. Spring walks slowly and slowly welcomes summer.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo..." The crisp and loud song of the cuckoo, through the mountains, over the treetops, echoed in the village courtyard, in the fields. Stepping on the pleasant sound of "cuckoo...", Gu Yu took firm steps as scheduled. This is the last solar term of spring. "Rustle, rustle," rain after rain, the so-called "rain gives birth to a hundred valleys."

A spring rain is a warm, warm climate, as expensive as oil spring rain, the most moist growth of new crops. In my hometown, there are many proverbs related to guyu, such as "guyu is a good news, a moment is worth thousands of gold", "guyu valley rain, move the seedlings and beans", "guyu valley rain, tea picking to rain", behind the proverb is condensed is the experience and wisdom of the ancients, are telling everyone: the festival is not waiting for people, farming can not be delayed, otherwise it will miss a good opportunity and affect the harvest.

Whenever this season comes, my parents will always accompany me to watch the videos of transplanting seedlings, planting soybeans and peanuts, and picking grain rain tea sent by relatives in my hometown in the WeChat group. On the other end of the video, I'd love to get involved.

But because I was far away from home and studying in Shenzhen, this became a luxury, I could only watch the video over and over again, across the screen to feel the busyness of grabbing seeds and grabbing plants, I think this is the most beautiful scenery in the Valley Rain Festival. Looking at the smiling faces that sowed hope, I felt that this was the brightest smile in the Guyu Festival.

What makes me feel the most admiration is the power of the seed. Soybeans and peanuts, as seeds, are placed directly in groups of 2-3 into a small hole in the soil cut with a hoe, and then covered with soil.

In this most suitable season, they absorb enough rain through the soil, let themselves be full of germination, store enough energy, root down and stabilize the soil, straighten up and break out of the soil, and find their own blue sky. I admire their tenacious, exuberant vitality. They are more admired for their energy, thrive, and after 3-4 months, they bear fruit several times that of seeds and make their own contribution to mankind.

Now, like the seeds sown by the Valley Rain Festival, at the most suitable time, I should strive to read good books, absorb enough nutrition, take root, store enough energy, strive to grow upwards, and make my own contributions to the country and mankind in the future.

After the Qingming Dynasty, the weather gradually turned hot, and spring is about to usher in the last festival - valley rain. When it rains, the rainfall surges and cereal crops – such as barley, maize, wheat, etc. – thrive.

Every gu rain day, my mother will always go outside to buy some new tea and come back, use hot water to brew for me to drink, that tea is also called Gu Yu tea, fragrant and delicious, very delicious. In the southern region, people will even go directly to the tea mountain to pick new tea to brew.

When it comes to Guyu, Grandma will always grow some vegetables such as cabbage, leeks, and soybeans. And when I have time to go back to my hometown, I will also help my grandmother plant. What impressed me was one time when I helped my grandmother grow cabbage.

I first chose a relatively flat piece of land in my grandmother's vegetable garden, and then I turned the ground with a hoe, and the hoe was very heavy, and I was almost crushed by the hoe. After turning over the ground, I found a bag of fertilizer, bent down, spread it evenly in the ground, and then filled the soil with a hoe, and the first step was completed.

After that, I took some cabbage seeds, sprinkled them on the ground line by line, and then found some fine soil from the side, sprinkled them on the cabbage seeds, poured the right amount of water on the kettle, and after making sure that every place was watered, I found a large piece of plastic film, spread it on the ground where the cabbage was planted, and pressed some soil on the four corners of the plastic film to ensure that the plastic film would not be blown away by the wind, and it was done!

After that, I just have to wait for the cabbage to sprout, although it is very tired, but I also have a sense of accomplishment. A few days later, my grandmother called to tell me that the cabbage I planted had sprouted! I was very excited, I did not expect that I would grow so successfully, I must help my grandmother grow more vegetables in the future, help her share the burden.

The valley rain also means that the cold winter is completely over, and the warm summer is about to usher in. At that time, the trees are shaded, the birds are singing, and the chirping will be a peaceful scene...
