Valley rain festival
10:22 on April 20, 2022
The 6th of the twenty-four solar terms

Empty mountains and new rain, all things grow
It is the last spring of each year
Stop for the spring rain and rejoice in the blossoming of flowers
Gu Yu is the last festival of spring, and Gu Yu is taken from the meaning of "rain born in a hundred valleys". In traditional farming culture, the valley rain festival associates "valley" and "rain", indicating precipitation conditions and "rain and 100 valleys". The most important feature of valley rain is that the spring rain is long, and the rain produces hundreds of valleys, reflecting the agricultural climate significance of "valley rain", which is the reflection of the ancient farming culture for the seasons. After the valley rain festival, the temperature rises, the rain increases, and the humidity in the air further increases, which is very suitable for the growth of cereal crops is the best time for crop growth.
Valley rain
The last spring
In mid-March, since the rain, the earth paste pulsates,
Now it rains again in the valley of water.
- "The Seventy-Two Waiting Episodes of the Moon Order"
Qingming cut off snow, valley rain breaks frost
Cold snaps passed
Heaven and earth are even more colored
At this time, the duckweed in the pond began to grow
Everything is sunny and thriving
Fifteen days after the Qingming Dynasty, Dou Zhichen, for Gu Yu,
In the middle of March, Yan Yusheng was clean and clear.
- "Tongwei Filial Piety Aiding God Contract"
Willows fly down, cuckoos cry in the night,
Peony spit, cherry red ripe,
Birds make tung flowers, rain turns duckweed,
It's late spring, and summer is approaching,
Time flies, and the last spring light is not negative.
Valley rain
Read the colors of spring and say goodbye to the spring day
The grass is green and willow yellow
The years hurry to say goodbye to spring
Sting the spring equinox in March
Qingming Valley rainy April days
April prosperity and withering coexist
Absorb and die together
The willows dance with the wind, and the summer of the rain is coming
April is still fragrant everywhere
The season of the most brilliant
Sweep away the last of twilight spring
Valley rain
The valley is born of rain also
"Spring rain is as expensive as oil"
The rain of the valley rain is abundant and moist
Seedlings are first planted in the field and new crops are planted
Under the watering of the rainwater
Happiness grows
Duckweed in the pond was able to grow
Mulberry trees have also grown new green shoots
Valley rain
It is the grace of Heaven for the people in April
Every rain can ensure a good harvest
Raindrops fall from the sky
Fall in a puddle of water
It is a flower of water waves
Fall on the grain
It is the great harvest that makes people happy in autumn
Valley rain three times
Ping Shisheng, Ming Dove whisks its feathers, and Dai Sheng descends to Sang
The valley rain is like dust, and the boiled bottle of floating wax is trying new
Peonies are ripe with sepals and cherries, and no flowers are allowed to fall into the spring
Valley rain customs
Sacrifice to the sea, eat incense, pick tea, enjoy flowers, and walk in the valley rain
The most beautiful April day on earth
Three, three, two, two, together
Share this world with picturesque landscapes
Light flowers and rain, spring color fading
The rain turned over the duckweed, and the summer mood became thicker
Say goodbye to the last and most beautiful spring
We are about to embrace summer
Gu Yu cherished spring, it was not too late, and sighed
It is better to enjoy the good time of spring and not forget it
