Grain Rain is the sixth solar term of the twenty-four solar terms and the last solar term in spring. Douzhichen; the sun's ecliptic longitude is 30°; it crosses from April 19th to 21st in the Gregorian calendar every year. Grain Rain means "Rain produces hundreds of grains". At this time, precipitation increases significantly. The seedlings in the fields are first planted and new crops are planted. They need the moisture of rain the most. As the saying goes, "Spring rain is as precious as oil."
With sufficient and timely rainfall, cereal crops can thrive. Grain Rain, like rain, Xiaoman, light snow, heavy snow and other solar terms, are solar terms that reflect the phenomenon of precipitation and are a reflection of the ancient farming culture.
During the Grain Rain season, it often starts to rain significantly in southern China. Especially in South China, once the cold air meets the warm and humid air, it often forms a long period of rainfall. The Qinling Mountains-Huaihe River is the transition area between the spring rain in the south and the spring drought area in the north. From the vicinity of the Qinling Mountains-Huaihe River to the north, the spring rain decreases sharply.
As rainfall increases after the Grain Rain solar term, the humidity in the air gradually increases. After the Grain Rain solar term is the onset period of neuralgia. At the same time, the weather is getting warmer and outdoor activities are increasing. The intake of high-protein and high-calorie foods should be reduced in the diet.
