Introduction: The order of rain solar terms in 24 solar terms is the second, which belongs to spring solar terms. The significance of rain is obvious, that is, the snow and ice melt, the rainfall increases, and it will rain in many places during the rainy season, and it is still continuous and distressing. The ancient working people divided rain into three periods. Do you know what are the three cycles of rain? What are the three stages of rain? Then explore with me.

What are the three stages of rain?

The ancients in China divided the rain into three periods: one was to sacrifice fish for Rex; Second, wait for Hongyan to come; Third, vegetation is sprouting. The corresponding flower letters are cauliflower, Tang Di and plum blossom.

Waiting for otters to sacrifice fish means that otters start fishing in the rainy season. After catching fish, they will arrange the fish they catch to be displayed on the shore. Looks like they have to worship before they can enjoy it.

Waiting for the arrival of geese means that after five days, the weather in the south is warm, geese begin to fly back to the north from the south, and migratory birds come and go with the changes of yin and yang of heaven and earth to adapt to the climate.

Waiting for vegetation to germinate means that within five days, the yin and yang between heaven and earth will meet and there will be vitality. Plants will use this vitality to start sprouting. In the "moist and silent" spring rain, vegetation will begin to sprout. Since then, the earth has gradually begun to show a thriving scene.

The meaning of rain solar term is that rainfall begins and gradually increases; But 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 felt that the earth was getting warmer.

Rain ranks second among the 24 solar terms, and comes around February 19 every year. The beginning of rain solar terms means that people have entered the spring in the meteorological sense. At this time, the temperature rises, the snow melts and the precipitation increases, hence the name rain, which is a solar term reflecting the precipitation phenomenon.

What are the three stages of rain?

There are three periods of rain: first, Rex sacrifices fish; second, Hongyan comes; third, vegetation germinates. In the China lunar calendar, a year is divided into 24 solar terms, and each solar term has about 15 days. Because the ancients called every five days "a cycle", each solar term has "three cycles", and each cycle corresponds to the climate characteristics or some special phenological phenomena at that time.

The meaning of rain solar terms: the snow and ice melt and the rainfall increases.

Rain is the second of the 24 solar terms. It is the rain of 24 solar terms when the longitude of the sun reaches 330 degrees around the 15th day of the first month (February 18-20 in Gregorian calendar). At this time, the temperature rises, the snow melts and the precipitation increases, hence the name rain. Generally, the rainy and rainy solar term begins on February 18 or 19 of Gregorian calendar 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. After the rain, it was a shock.

How does rain regulate the body?

Since the rainy season, the temperature has gradually risen and the precipitation has gradually increased, but the cold air is still in a weakening trend and frequently competes with the warm air. The public should pay attention to keeping warm. We should remember three elements in keeping healthy through rain and solar terms, namely, preventing "cold in spring", strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness, and preparing for yang.

The "rain" solar term is prone to "late spring cold" weather, which poses a great threat to the health of the elderly and children: the blood pressure of the elderly will increase significantly, which is easy to induce heart disease and myocardial infarction; Children are prone to colds and fever.

"To prevent the cold in spring", we should first pay attention to the spring cover, and take off our clothes as little as possible when the temperature rises slightly. Generally, it needs to be covered when the average daily temperature is below 10℃. In spring, the principle of covering is "the lower part is thicker and the upper part is thinner", and the coverage focuses on the back, abdomen and soles.

After the "rain" solar term, the rainfall increases, and many people will have symptoms such as loss of appetite, indigestion and diarrhea. During this period, it is necessary to strengthen the maintenance of the spleen and stomach, strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness. The simplest method is dietotherapy, such as Euryale seed lotus seed and barley soup. Gordon Euryale seed and lotus seed can strengthen spleen and tonify kidney, Coix seed can strengthen spleen and eliminate dampness, and adding dried tangerine peel can also strengthen spleen and promote qi circulation and stimulate appetite.

After the "rain" solar term, the health care method should gradually transition from "nourishing yin in autumn and winter" to "nourishing yang in spring and summer". Massage the abdomen is a good way to nourish yang. The specific method is: lie on your back, with your navel as the center, and massage your abdomen clockwise with your palm for about 200 times. On the one hand, it helps to promote digestion and eliminate damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, on the other hand, it helps to keep the abdomen warm and ensure the quality of sleep.
