Guyu is the sixth solar term of the 24 solar terms, and it is the valley rain when the sun reaches 30 ° of the ecliptic longitude on April 19~21 every year, which comes from the ancients saying that "rain gives birth to a hundred grains". In order to let children have an in-depth understanding of the solar terms, the third experimental kindergarten kindergarten of Lijin County has carried out a series of activities of Guyu solar terms.
The children followed the teacher to learn the time, origin and customs of the Guyu solar term. The rainy season is a good season for all things to grow, sow hope, and reap growth. The children brought their tools to turn the soil, sow seeds, and water the soil, and were very busy.
In ancient times, there was the custom of "walking the valley rain", on the day of the valley rain, people would go to the village to string relatives, and some went to the countryside to walk around, which means to integrate with nature and strengthen the body. There is the custom of eating toon in the valley rain in the north, before and after the rain in the valley is the season when the toon is on the market, the toon at this time is mellow and refreshing, and the nutritional value is high, and there is the saying that "the toon is as tender as silk before the rain". These customs make children aware of the close connection between traditional festivals and everyday life.
The Guyu solar term activity allows children to fully perceive and experience the solar term culture of Guyu, and enhances children's understanding of excellent traditional culture in many aspects and forms. (Li Lianlian)
