What are the customs of rain and solar terms in most parts of the country?

Rain is the second of the 24 solar terms. Every year on February 18-20 in Gregorian calendar (around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month), the solar term is when the longitude of the sun reaches 330 degrees.

The customs all over the country are similar to the Lantern Festival.

When it rains, in most cases, because the Spring Festival has just passed, the flavor of the year is still there, and most of them are close to the date of the Lantern Festival, so the joyful atmosphere at this time is often more intense.

Like dragon and lion dances and lotus boats in full swing, it's time to attract the audience. It is said that the number of dragon dances is different, and the way of playing is also different: "Two Dragons Playing with Beads" has only one "pearl" when performing, and the two dragons are sometimes juxtaposed, and sometimes the two ends are opposite, which is very interesting.

In some areas, usually married daughters will go home to visit their parents on this day and bring some gifts.

In other places, rainy solar terms are a very human day. In western Sichuan, at dawn, on the foggy roadside, there are some young women holding young children in their hands, waiting for the first pedestrian to pass by. When someone passes by, men, women and children will stop each other, let the young children kowtow and send each other as adopted sons or adopted daughters, which is called "bumping into", hoping that the children can grow up healthily.
