What does it mean that it rains in the Qingming Festival?

Qingming is going to be Qingming, and it will pour down in Grain Rain. The meaning is as follows:

Clear and bright, Grain Rain wants to pour. In other words, if it doesn't rain on Qingming day, it is good weather; If only it rained in Grain Rain. If Qingming is sunny and Grain Rain is rainy, then this year is a good year with good weather.

Why is it clear?

This is because, in Tomb-Sweeping Day, according to the tradition of China, everyone will go to the grave and go for an outing. It will be very inconvenient if it rains at this time.

In addition, around Tomb-Sweeping Day, it is time for farmers to plant all kinds of crops. It rained for days and the fields were muddy, which was not conducive to agricultural production.

But before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, it will rain or be cloudy in many areas of our country, otherwise there will be no famous ancient poem "It rains in succession in Qingming Festival". In my impression, the weather around Tomb-Sweeping Day seems to be mostly rainy and rainy, which makes people feel bad.

Why is Grain Rain soaked?

Grain Rain is the sixth solar term among the 24 solar terms and the last solar term in spring. At this time, the seeds sown before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day have sprouted, and the green crops are struggling to grow, which is the time when a lot of rain is needed.

If it can rain once or several times at this time, then the crops in the field will have enough water. Seedlings that drink enough water can thrive, so can this year's harvest be good?

Behind agricultural proverbs and common sayings, people actually express their longing for a better life and a bumper harvest year and a happy year. There are also some proverbs with similar meanings, such as "Qingming Festival, rain in Grain Rain", "Qingming Festival, rain in Grain Rain" and "No rain in Grain Rain, please ask for rain later".

In a word, rainy days in Grain Rain are a good omen, which indicates a bumper harvest year.
