What are the folklore of rain and solar terms?

The folklore of rainy solar terms;

1, the story of Yula michel platini:?

"La michel platini" is a primitive way of making friends, which is popular in many places in Baoshan. From the perspective of folklore, the formation of this custom is related to backward social production and people's "help-seeking psychology" when they encounter difficulties, so it is most common in mountainous areas with vast territory, few people, few doctors and medicines and simple folk customs. ?

In the mountainous areas such as Wayao, Wama and Wafang in Baoshan, there are usually two ways to "pull" michel platini. One is to determine the object and get married through consultation. When the dolls in the mountains can run, parents will show their wishes to acquaintances in neighboring villages. If the other party agrees, choose an auspicious day to kill chickens in cook the meat, invite relatives and friends, kowtow and name them, and complete all the formalities of "naming".

It is said that once the doll is "adopted" by michel platini, it will not be her own son once her surname and first name are changed. Even if there are some misfortunes in her life, it will be solved. ?

2. The story of rain returning to her mother's house:

The custom of returning to one's mother's family during the rainy festival in western Sichuan. On the day of the Rain Festival, the married daughters went to visit their parents with gifts. Women with children need to bring canned meat, chairs and other gifts to thank their parents. Women who have been married for a long time and are not pregnant should also bring gifts back to their parents' homes. Her mother will sew a pair of red trousers for her and wear them next to her body to show good luck and pray for a child next year.

There is a folk tradition that in rainy season, married daughters should bring gifts to visit their parents. Women who have given birth to children need to bring several cans of meat (stewed pig's feet, snow-capped mountains, soybeans and kelp in casserole, and then sealed the cans with red paper and red rope), chairs and other gifts to thank their parents for their parenting. 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 help them get pregnant as soon as possible. ?

In addition, on rainy days, the son-in-law is not allowed to be idle, and she has to send a festival to her parents-in-law. Festival gifts are usually two rattan chairs wrapped in a 4-meter-long red ribbon, which is called "Shoushou", meaning to wish parents-in-law a long life. Another typical holiday gift is canned meat for men, which is for parents-in-law.

This is to express gratitude and respect to the parents-in-law who have worked so hard to raise their daughters. If it is wedding date, the newly-married son-in-law, her parents-in-law will also give her an umbrella in return, which is intended to bless her son-in-law to go out smoothly and help him keep out the wind and rain, and also to wish her a safe life.

Climatic characteristics of rainwater

"Rain" is the second solar term after beginning of spring. The ancient book "Twenty-four solar terms" records: "In the first month, water is in the sky, and beginning of spring belongs to wood. 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. "

So "rain" means that the spring breeze gradually blows all over the earth, the ice and snow melt, and even the air in the north begins to become moist, showing a thriving scene everywhere.

From the meteorological point of view, the highest temperature in most areas of China can generally rise above 0℃ after the rain, and the average temperature in many areas in the south is above 10℃. At this time, rape, winter wheat, etc. Generally, it will turn green and grow, which requires higher water content.

As the saying goes, "Spring rain is as expensive as oil", and suitable precipitation is very important for the growth of crops. At this time, the precipitation in North China, Northwest China and Huanghuai areas is generally less. If there is little rain in early spring, timely irrigation after rain is beneficial to crop growth.
