There are three waiting periods for rain, one is Rex offering fish, the other is Hongyan coming, and the third is what?

The third stage is the germination of vegetation.

There are three periods of rain, one is when water otters sacrifice fish, the other is when geese come, and the third is when plants sprout. It is said that the solar term of rain has come, the ice on the water surface has melted, and otters have started fishing. Otters like to kill the fish and put them on the shore in turn, just like offering sacrifices, so there is a saying that "Rex sacrifices fish".

Five days after the rain, the geese began to fly back to the north from the south. In five days, plants will begin to sprout as the spirit of the sun rises underground. Since then, the earth has gradually begun to show a thriving scene.

Rainwater agricultural activities

Entering the rain solar term, the cold and snowy days have passed in most parts of China, and the temperature has warmed up, which is conducive to the greening or growth of overwintering crops. Therefore, we should pay close attention to the field management of overwintering crops, do a good job in seed selection, spring ploughing, fertilization and other spring ploughing and sowing preparations, and realize "planting a drop in spring and harvesting ten thousand kinds in autumn".

The rainfall in North China, Northwest China and Huanghuai areas is generally less at this time, so spring irrigation should be organized in time. There is more rain in the area south of Huaihe River, so it is necessary to do a good job of ditch cleaning, drainage and intertillage weeding to prevent wet damage and root rot.
