Will it rain in rainy season?

Rainy solar terms do not necessarily rain.

Rainy solar terms do not necessarily rain. Rain is the second of the 24 solar terms. The solar terms of rain generally start from February 18-20 of the Gregorian calendar.

The rain solar term means that it begins to rain, and the rainfall is usually light rain or Mao Mao rain. There are some sayings in agricultural proverbs, such as "Old people can't rest during the July 989 rain festival" and "When the rain comes, the harrows are thawed layer by layer", which shows that proper precipitation is very important for the growth of crops.

The custom of rainy solar terms:

On the rainy day, the married daughter went back to visit her parents with gifts. Women who have given birth to children must bring gifts such as canned meat and chairs to thank their parents for their kindness. For women who are not pregnant for a long time, their mother will sew a pair of red trousers for them to wear next to their bodies. It is said that this will enable them to get pregnant and have children as soon as possible.

This custom is still popular in the countryside. On rainy days, there is also an interesting folk activity called bag pulling. (michel platini is the guarantor). The rain festival pulls michel platini, which means that the rain and dew are moist and easy to grow.
