Rain means grace and happiness.
Basic meaning:
Rain is a commonly used Chinese character, pronounced as yǔ or yù. It was first seen in oracle bone inscriptions. The rain character in oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions looks like water droplets falling from the sky. The original meaning is water droplets falling from the clouds to the ground; the water droplets falling from the clouds to the ground are extended to friends, and can also be used as a metaphor for separation; it can also be used as a metaphor for grace, moistening all things on the earth like rain; "rain" in these meanings is pronounced as yǔ. It is used as a verb in classical Chinese to refer to rainfall, pronounced yù; it is also used to describe falling like rain.
