It rained in the Millennium, and there was a shortage of rice in the market.

If it rains on the day of Bailu, it may have a negative impact on crop yield, resulting in a decrease in rice supply in the market. This is because after the once-in-a-thousand-year rainfall, cold air is active, and then it may rain frequently. For late rice, this is the heading and flowering period, and cooling will affect its normal growth and lead to a decline in yield. There is a similar saying among the people, that is, "it rained for a thousand years and went to a bad place", which means that it was bad for crops.
