Will it rain or rain in 2024?

Rainy

In 2024, the lunar calendar in Grain Rain is: March 2024 1 1 day 2 1:59:33. Grain Rain is the last solar term in spring. At this time, just after planting seedlings and planting new crops in the field, rain is most needed, so there is a saying that "spring rain is as expensive as oil". Grain Rain means "Rain gives birth to hundreds of valleys", and it is Grain Rain when the sun reaches 30 on April 20th or 2 1 day every year.

Twenty-four solar terms: "In mid-March, after the rain, the earth's paste pulsates, and now it rains its valley in water. The sound of Grain Rain season is like the rain in my field. At this time, cover the valley and sow, from top to bottom. " , hence the name.

As for the origin of Grain Rain Festival, according to Huainanzi, it is an earth-shattering event to create characters in Cangjie. The Yellow Emperor issued imperial edicts in late spring and early summer, announcing the success of Cangjie's word-making, and calling on all the people in the world to * * * the ambition of Xi. An unusual rain fell on this day, leaving countless Gu Mi, so later generations named this day Grain Rain, which became one of the 24 solar terms.

For the rainfall in 2024, the Meteorological Observatory has not released an accurate report, and we have no way to know, but what is certain is that we all hope that 2024 will be a good year for planting.

Finally, we should respect and learn from traditional festivals like Grain Rain and pass on our culture to future generations.
