What does it mean that there is no rain in the rainy solar terms?

The lack of rain in solar terms means that this spring is relatively dry.

There is a folk saying that "there are not many spring rains and many droughts", which means that if there is no rain in the rainy season, it means that the whole spring is relatively dry. Rainwater solar term is the time when the earth needs water most, and the precipitation at this time is also the beginning of the annual precipitation. According to our own observation, if there is not enough precipitation on this day, everything will lose the nutrients needed for growth.

There is no rainfall in the rain solar term, which indicates that there is also a lack of precipitation in the summer solstice solar term. There is a folk saying that "there is no rain in the rain, and there is no rain from summer to sun" and "it clears up after rain, and it clears up from summer to sun", which means that sunny rain in rainy season can predict sunny rain from summer to sun.

Application of rainwater on crops

There is a folk saying that "Spring rain is as expensive as oil". If there is timely precipitation at this time, it is very important for crop growth. In many arid areas, in early spring, precipitation can't meet the demand of crops, so they will store water to ensure the growth of crops.

It is because of the importance of rain and precipitation that the ancestors regarded rain and rain as a sign of bumper harvest. There is also a folk saying that "rain and crops are good, and Da Chun and Koharu are a treasure". On the contrary, people in many places have the pressure to shelter from the rain, thinking that it will not rain, which indicates that there will be no moderate precipitation this year. It is precisely because of this that our ancestors have the saying "no rain, no seedlings".
