A rainy season

When spring comes, it will fall.

The wind blows its mouth at night;

Silent, it moistens everything. "(Don Du Fu)

Today's "rain" solar term, it rains here, it really looks like rain.

It is often said that rain and solar terms have three periods: one is to wait for water to sacrifice fish, the other is to wait for geese to come, and the third is to wait for vegetation to sprout.

On rainy days, there will be a strange phenomenon: otters fish in rivers and lakes where ice and snow are melting. After catching the fish, they put the fish on the shore, some in a row, some in a circle, and then arch their front paws in front of them, as if praying for heaven and earth and thanking nature, and then they salute the set fish circle. Another man said he was worshipping the river god.

That's interesting. Small animals know how to be grateful!

I don't have any geese here, but there are many kinds of geese, birds and egrets. Moreover, vegetation is sprouting at any time, and flowers are constantly blooming all year round. After all, the seasons are like spring.

Twenty-four solar terms are divided according to the "solar calendar", which is divided into 24 equal parts, that is, 24 solar terms, based on the revolution of the earth around the sun icon.

The first solar term of each month is "Festival", namely: beginning of spring, Jingzhe, Qingming, Changxia, Mangzhong, Xiaoshu, beginning of autumn, Bailu, Hanlu, beginning of winter, Daxue and Xiaohan 12; The second solar term of each month is qi, namely: rain, vernal equinox, Grain Rain, Xiaoman, summer solstice, summer heat, early summer heat, autumn equinox, early frost, light snow, winter solstice, Dahan 12 qi.

The average number of days between two festivals and the air is about 30 days and 4 days, while the number of days in a month in the lunar calendar is 29 and a half days. Therefore, every thirty-four months, it is inevitable that there will be two months when there is only no gas or only gas without gas.

A month without a knot in the lunar calendar is called a leap month, and a month without a knot is not called a leap month.

Solar terms are different from climate. Solar terms and climate are the dividing point of recording days, and they can also be said to be small stations of time flow. 30 days is a festival, 15 days is a breath, and 5 days is a wait.

Speaking of which, my friend, do you understand? Did it rain in your house today?
