The characteristics of rainwater solar terms are introduced as follows:

The rain solar term generally starts from February 18 to 20 and ends on March 4 or 5. In the rainy season, the direct point of the sun gradually approaches the equator from the southern hemisphere.

At this time, in the northern hemisphere, the sunshine hours and intensity are increasing, and the temperature is rising rapidly. Warm and humid air from the ocean becomes active and gradually pushes northward to meet with cold air, forming rainfall. The rainy season is changeable, which is one of the seasons with the most cold wave processes in the whole year, with cold and hot, warm and cold at first.

Spring is inseparable from the rain, which moistens things silently, so that dead trees can welcome spring and seeds can germinate. In ancient times, rain was divided into three stages: "One stage was that Rex sacrificed fish; Second, wait for Hongyan to come; Third-class grass sprouted. "

Rain is one of the twenty-four solar terms. There are four seasons in a year, three months in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and two solar terms in each month. Each solar term has its own unique meaning. Rainwater solar terms usually mean that rainfall begins and gradually increases.

However, those who have grown wood must also have water, so it rained successfully in beginning of spring.

If the east wind melts, it will disperse into rain. In Yizhoushu, there are phenological descriptions such as "Hongyan coming" and "vegetation sprouting" after the rain. The water that nourishes the growth of all things comes from rain. As the saying goes, "Spring rain is as expensive as oil", and everything needs rain to moisten it, so people often regard spring rain as particularly precious.
