Does the rain in early spring mean a lot of rain this year?

The phrase "Spring Rain Arrives in Tomb-Sweeping Day" means that if it starts to rain in spring, according to the experience of our ancestors, there will be more rain in spring until Tomb-Sweeping Day. The rainfall in beginning of spring shows that the warm air flow and the cold air flow are evenly matched, and it is easy to form continuous rainfall when they meet. As the old saying goes, "Spring rain is as expensive as oil". Rain in spring is a good thing, but if there is continuous rainy weather, it will easily lead to low temperature and crops will be easily frozen and reduced.

Beginning of spring is the 1 solar term among the 24 solar terms in China, in which "Li" means the beginning and "Spring" means "ready to move". Therefore, beginning of spring means the beginning of the season of revival and the end of the closed winter. With the arrival of beginning of spring, people obviously feel that the days are getting longer and warmer. "A year's plan lies in spring, and farming time waits for no one." After beginning of spring, China has the custom of holding social fires and shooting spring cattle, aiming at reminding farmers not to go against the farming season and praying for a bumper harvest, peace and prosperity in the new year.
