In the chapter of the reincarnation of the four seasons, Gu Yu, the solar term that carries a strong sense of spring and farming culture, came as scheduled. It is the last movement of spring, and it is also the poetic transition of the earth from tender green to luxuriant. At this time, the clouds in the sky seem to be gently crushed by the spring breeze, turning into a drizzle, quietly sprinkling on the world, moistening all things and giving life endless vitality. The arrival of Gu Yu not only marks the climax of spring sowing and the prelude to summer harvest, but also a vivid picture that integrates the beauty of nature, the charm of humanity and the reality of life.
The word "Gu Yu" has a deep meaning. "The Seventy-two Candidate Explanations of the Lunar Order" has a saying: "In the middle of March, since the rain, the soil paste pulsates, and now it rains again and its valley is in the water." "During the rainy season, the rain is abundant, and it generously nourishes the rice in the fields like the favor of the heavens, indicating the hope of a good harvest of grains. This continuous spring rain, like the poet's ink, sprinkled on the vast fields, painted a verdant idyll. At the same time, it also awakens the sleeping mountains and plants, promotes the belated flower buds, and makes the whole world rejuvenate in the moist breath.
The earth at this time is an idyllic poem to be continued. The sea of golden rape flowers ripples in the breeze, and the peach blossoms, pear blossoms, and cherry blossoms come to an end, replaced by apricot blossoms and azaleas, like a palette carefully arranged by nature, rendering the colors of late spring colorful and intoxicating. In the fields, the farmers are dressed in robes, holding ploughs and rakes, stepping on the moist soil, sowing hope for the next year, the busy figure and the quiet pastoral scenery are intertwined into a harmonious farming picture, telling the deep relationship between people and the land and the ardent expectation of a bumper harvest.
Guyu is not only an ecological hymn to nature, but also the crystallization of the wisdom of agricultural civilization. It reminds us of the importance of rainwater to life and advocates the concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. On this special day, whether it is a morning exerciser in a city park or a stroller on a country road, you can feel the freshness and tranquility in the air, which is the unique gift of Gu Yu. People enjoy tea and flowers, watch birds and fish, or participate in a variety of folk activities, all immersed in the strong solar atmosphere brought by Gu Yu, and celebrate this feast of life together.
In general, the arrival of the Guyu solar term is like a gentle and powerful symphony, playing the end of spring and kicking off the prelude to summer. With its unique poetry and agricultural songs, it allows us to deeply experience the rhythmic beauty of nature, comprehend the profound connotation of farming culture, and inspire our love for life and vision for the future. Under the baptism of this valley rain, let us be grateful for the nourishment of the earth, look forward to the abundance of golden autumn, and feel the unique charm of late spring with our hearts.
