What is the rain solar term and when?

What is the rain solar term? Rain is the second of the 24 solar terms. Every February 19 or so, when the longitude of the sun reaches 330 degrees, it is the rain of 24 solar terms. At this time, the temperature rises, the snow melts and the precipitation increases, hence the name rain. The rain solar term generally starts from February 18 or 19 and ends on March 4 or 5. Rain, like Grain Rain, light snow and heavy snow, is a solar term reflecting precipitation.

Twenty-four solar terms: "In the first month, water is born every day. Spring belongs to wood, but there must be water for those who grow wood, so there is rain in beginning of spring. If the east wind melts, it will disperse into rain. " It means that everything begins to sprout before and after the rain and solar terms, and spring is coming. For example, Yizhoushu has phenological records such as "Hongyan coming" and "vegetation sprouting" after the rain.

In ancient China, rainwater was divided into three stages: "One stage was that Rex sacrificed fish; Second, wait for Hongyan to come; Third, wait for the grass to sprout. " In this solar term, otters start fishing and put the fish on the shore like sacrifices before eating; Five days later, the geese began to fly back to the north from the south; In five days, in the "moist and silent" spring rain, the spirit of the sun rises everywhere in the vegetation and begins to sprout. Since then, the earth has gradually begun to show a thriving scene.

Rain not only indicates the beginning and increase of rainfall, but also indicates the rise of temperature. It was cold before it rained. After the rain, people obviously feel that spring has returned to the earth, warming bloom and filling the world with spring. People's breath inspires the body and mind.
