At this time, the precipitation increased obviously, which promoted the growth and development of cereal crops. At this time, the seedlings in the field are newly planted, and new crops need rain most, so there is a saying that "spring rain is as expensive as oil". During the solar term in Grain Rain, ancient people had the custom of "going to Grain Rain", "tasting Grain Rain tea" and "enjoying peony flowers".

2. Summer solstice: The hot summer is coming. After this day, it is about to "turn back". The direct sunlight point starts to move south from the Tropic of Cancer, and the days in the northern hemisphere become shorter day by day. After the summer solstice, the Tropic of Cancer and its northern region, the midday sun altitude angle also began to decrease.
