The "Qunfang Spectrum" records:
"Gu rain, Gu is born from rain. ”
When the rain in the air is denser,
When the birds on the branches are more cheerful,
When the eyes are full of greenery,
We finally ushered in the Guyu solar term.
All the plants and trees of the earth,
They have all started to conceive beautifully.
There are scholars who have researched,
古文字中，“谷”与“浴”，
There is no difference in the initial pronunciation and meaning.
Then, as the last solar term of spring,
A real watering object through the rain,
It's not any kind of crop,
It's ourselves.
The rain gives birth to a hundred grains, and the festival is the order of spring.
Lu Mu Qianye, when the head of Mengxia is approaching.
The beauty of the valley rain is just like spring
Leave us with one last glimpse.
In 15 days it will be summer,
It's already the end of spring.
The flowers are like brocade, and the willows are green like smoke.
烟雨润了江南，听得杜鹃夜啼，
I can see the peony and smell the spring tea.
Even the brown toon tree in front of the door
and began to sprout again,
Strive for a year of growth.
Feng Zikai said: "There is no better time for a year than at this time. ”
Spring has come to an end,
But people don't take it as the end,
Instead, they continue to bury their heads and busily sow the seeds.
Guyu is the 6th of the 24 solar terms.
It is also the only phenology, seasonality
A solar term that closely corresponds to crop farming.
The Qingming season is the time when the poplar flowers are fluttering,
The rainy season is the time when the cuckoo is eager to plough.
Li Bai has a poem, "Yang Hua falls to the end of the rules".
The ancients said that at this time, "the dove brushes its feathers".
Birds are busy arranging their feathers, and humans are not idle.
In the vast countryside,
At the beginning of farming, the farmers began to be busy.
"Seventy-two Candidates of the Lunar Order" explains:
"In the middle of March, since the rains, the plaster pulsates,
Now it rains again, and its valley is in the water......
The valley is sown at this time, from top to bottom. ”
In the rainy season, people plant melons and beans, and prepare for spring ploughing.
In the city, it is also indispensable to "care about food and vegetables".
On the hillside where pear blossoms, apricot blossoms are in full bloom,
In the valley of the willows and the new green, the sowing of seeds began in a derivative life.
The cuckoo in the woods,
There are busy figures on the ground.
Grain planting, came into being,
Full of hope.
Lin Hua thanked Chunhong,
The spring red is just the pink of March.
However, when the peach blossoms are gone, it is the deep spring of April.
The reincarnation of the four seasons quietly woke up the slumber of the peony,
The people of the city were intoxicated by the fragrance of her country.
Humanity is "Gu Yu three dynasties to appreciate peonies",
The arrival of the valley rain is the best time to enjoy peonies.
Therefore, peony flowers are also known as "valley rain flowers".
"Gu Yu's flowers became more intense later, and I had seen jade exquisiteness before. ”
"The remnants of the red began to spit out the buds, and the good name is called the King of Flowers. ”
The description of peony flowers in ancient poems
It is a testament to the flourishing scene when the flowers bloom.
Ancient customs, where there are flowers,
There are all scholars and women to watch, and there are also hanging lights at night.
Those who feast and enjoy the flowers are called "flower parties".
Qing Gulu's "Qing Jialu" said:
"The shrine annex is built by merchants, and Gu Yu sees a new flower bureau.
If you don't believe in meeting, there is no country, and the brocade shed only protects the jade building spring. ”
During the rainy season, the young leaves of the trees are newly produced
is the freshest of the year,
Tea leaves made from the young leaves of this time
It is also considered to be the best pre-rain tea.
Spring tea harvested in the rainy season,
It is also called Erchun tea.
Spring shoots with thick buds and leaves,
The color is emerald green, the leaves are soft,
The taste is fresh and the aroma is pleasant.
旗枪、雀舌、莲心。 不分南北，
All the tea guests, all from the valley rain tea,
Tasted the real taste of spring.
At the moment when the tea is steaming,
All the clocks stopped turning, and time came to an abrupt halt.
The rainy season in the valley is the time of water heating,
Hundreds of fish travel to the shallow sea, which is a good day to go to the sea to fish.
As the saying goes, "ride the valley rain to the net".
In order to be able to go to sea safely and return with a full load,
On this day, the fishermen want to hold a sea festival,
Prayer Kai Jimbosuke.
Therefore, the Valley Rain Festival is also called
The "Zhuangxing Festival" when fishermen go out to sea to fish.
In the old days, villages and villages had Tanah Lot Temple or Niangniang Temple,
As soon as the time of sacrifice arrived, the fishermen carried the offerings to Tanah Lot.
Offering sacrifices in front of the Niangniang Temple, some carry the offerings to the seaside,
敲锣打鼓，燃放鞭炮，面海祭祀，
The scene was very grand.
常言道:"雨前香椿嫩如丝,
After the rain, the buds are woody. ”
Toon in the rainy season,
The most tender and delicious, crispy and soft fragrance.
Rainy season in the Northern Valley
There is also the custom of "beating toon".
"Ji Sheng in the Year of Dijing" contains a taste of "toon sprouts mixed with gluten",
Wrap the picked toon buds in flour paste,
Fried food in hot oil is now fried toonfish.
There are scrambled eggs with toon, toon mixed with tofu, toon bamboo shoots......
What I eat is that bite of freshness.
As if eating spring in the stomach,
We will be able to live forever in the spring flowers.
If it is said,
The beginning of spring is the prologue, then the rain is the beginning of the story,
The sting is the development, the spring equinox and the Qingming are the climax parts,
Gu Yu is the end of spring.
People are moisturizing things in a field
The sound of spring rain praises the earth and cultivates hope.
The babbling stream,
Dancing birds,
Day and night the jointed crops grow tall,
All things in nature have taken the stage one after another,
began their wonderful performance,
I also began to look forward to the years.
