What is the legend of this solar term?

Actually, it has something to do with a story in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that a young man named Grain Rain saved a peony flower while helping the people in disaster relief. This flower was originally made by a fairy, and can be used to make wine and medicine with other fairies. When a vulture learned that he was going to treat a disease, he tied the fairy peony, but Huaxian refused to save it. Grain Rain also came to help save people. In the end, Peony escaped, but Grain Rain was killed, so Huaxian settled down in the buried garden in Grain Rain. Later, there was a saying in the proverb that three dynasties saw peonies in Grain Rain, which also reminded people of this allusion.
