Valley rain solar terms
Valley rainy weather
Spring is born and summer is long, autumn is harvested and winter is hidden, and life is lived with the solar terms. Gu rain, the sun reaches 30 degrees of yellow longitude, flowers and plants are luxuriant, and peonies are spouting, which is the best season for all things to grow.
Guyu has the meaning of "rain gives birth to a hundred grains", the temperature rises rapidly at this time of the year, and the rain increases significantly, which is beneficial to the growth of grains.
"In March, the wind and rain wash a city of flowers. The Song Dynasty poet Huang Tingjian described the scene of flying flowers and falling flowers, wind and rain, which is the scene of the rainy season in the valley.
Gu Yu farming
"Qingming has passed three springs, and the valley rain is sunny in April. "Guyu is the sixth of the 24 solar terms and the last of spring.
In traditional farming culture, the Guyu solar term associates "valley" and "rain", indicating the precipitation situation and "rain produces a hundred grains". After the grain rain, the temperature rises and the rainfall increases, which is suitable for the growth of cereal crops.
"Seventy-two Candidate Explanations of the Lunar Order" records: "Gu rain, mid-March. Since the rain, the soil has pulsated, and now it rains its valley in the water. "During the rainy season, the temperature rises and the rainfall increases, and the rains in late spring moisten the growing grains, and spring-sown crops such as japonica rice, broad beans, and sesame seeds are also cultivated at this time. Therefore, there are "before and after the valley rain, planting melons and beans", "the valley rain planting cotton is busy", ......
In ancient times, people would also use the weather on the day of the grain rain to predict the amount of summer rain and the quality of the grain harvest. For example, "Gu Yu is a prosperous flood, and a moment is worth a thousand gold", "A rain before and after Gu Yu is better than a show", which means that if it rains on the day of Gu Yu, even if it only rains for a while, it is a good omen, and the rain at this time can be worth a thousand gold for a moment;
This is because the valley rain solar term is still an important period for sowing, and some of the crops sown in the early stage have grown and need rain to moisten, so the rain at this time is very beneficial to the growth of crops.
