What does village rain mean?

Village rain literally means "village rain", which refers to the rainy weather that often occurs in some parts of Japan from mid-June to mid-July every year. Although the rainfall brought by village rain is not very large, it is mostly light rain, but it often lasts for a long time, which is very important for agricultural harvest and land replenishment. At the same time, village rain is also an important solar term in Japanese rural life. With green hills and gentle rain, people will feel a little bit of peace and comfort in it.

However, the meaning of village rain is not limited to the simple literal meaning of "village rain". In Japanese culture, "village rain" has many explanations, such as "rain of change" and "rain of turning point". This is because in the rural rainy season, the first half of the year has passed, and the second half is about to begin. It is a critical period for the closed stage to turn to the open, which means a new beginning and the arrival of new hope. Therefore, many Japanese will regard village rain as a key turning point and have many expectations and hopes.

Finally, village rain is also closely related to Japanese literature and art. In the works of many masters, the rainy season scenery in the village is often described as charming, full of imagination and poetry. At the same time, "Village Rain" also has many allusions and metaphors related to love, affection, friendship and other emotions, giving people more associations and praises. Therefore, village rain has become one of the important cultural symbols in Japanese literature and art, and it has also become the gateway for the outside world to understand Japanese culture.
