The significance of planting melon beans before and after Grain Rain introduces the significance of planting melon beans before and after Grain Rain

1. Grain Rain's proverb is "Before and after Grain Rain, plant some beans", which means that when the solar term comes to Grain Rain, the rain moistens the earth, which is the best time to sow seedlings and plant some beans. As the saying goes, "Rain gives birth to a hundred valleys".

2. Grain Rain is the sixth of the 24 solar terms. April 20th or 2 1 literally means sowing Grain Rain, so it is called Grain Rain. On this day, there is always plenty of rain and the temperature rises. It is a good time to sow seedlings and plant melons and beans, which is of great benefit to the growth of cereal crops. Therefore, according to the experience summarized every year, the wise ancients came to the agricultural proverb of planting melons and beans before and after Grain Rain.

3. Every year from April 19 to April 2 1 day, Grain Rain is regarded as the time when the sun reaches 30 degrees of the yellow longitude. However, due to the different weather and precipitation in different places every year, there are similar proverbs, such as planting melons and beans before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day.
