After the solar term, the weather became warmer.

Because farmers live on agriculture, and the growth of crops is closely related to the weather. After the solar term in Grain Rain, the rain began to increase. At this time, newly planted seedlings, cereals and other crops just need rain, so farmers attach great importance to this solar term. Twenty-four solar terms is a special festival culture that belongs to China, and its appearance is closely related to farming. In ancient times, our ancestors were still in agricultural civilization. In order to better adapt to the agricultural season, with the help of the changes of celestial bodies, they formulated a set of solar terms law system, that is, twenty-four solar terms.

The reference standard of these 24 solar terms was originally bucket handle and bucket handle in the Big Dipper. Yin? Is it the earliest solar term in a year? The beginning of spring? The arrival of. When the barrel handle completes a circle, it means that a year has passed. And in this year, according to the ancients? Heavenly stems and earthly branches? Bucket handle, the Big Dipper pointing in different directions, is named according to the corresponding climate characteristics, and then forms 24 solar terms.

Among them, the position of bucket handle corresponding to Grain Rain solar terms is one of the twelve branches. Chen? The climate characteristics of the time before and after the solar terms are mainly characterized by warmer weather and more rain. The ancients in farming society always paid special attention to climate change, and the new crops planted before the solar term in Grain Rain needed enough rain irrigation just one or two months after they grew, so the solar term in Grain Rain was very important for farmers. Thanks to the increase of precipitation, cereal crops began to grow sturdily, which is what the ancients often said? Rain over the valley? .

Because the weather began to get hot after the solar term in Grain Rain, this solar term was also designated as the last solar term in spring. In ancient times, whenever the Grain Rain solar term came, people would offer sacrifices to Cang Xie. Eat spring? And peony appreciation and other custom activities. The custom of offering sacrifices to Cang Xie originated in the Han Dynasty. According to records, this custom is to commemorate the success of Cang Xie's word-making. It happened to rain when the Yellow Emperor announced the good news. As for it? Eat spring? This custom refers to eating Toona sinensis. The best picking time for this plant is around the solar term in Grain Rain. As the ancients often said, the custom of appreciating peony has a long history? Grain Rain saw three dynasties peony? . Now the main producing areas of peony are Heze, Shandong and Luoyang, Henan, and peony flower exhibitions are often arranged in Grain Rain.

With the continuous development of society, people want to know the future weather, and they can directly use the weather forecast. Because China is no longer a farming society, the 24 solar terms closely related to farming are gradually declining. However, after a brief understanding of the 24 solar terms, I was still impressed by the wisdom of the ancients.
