Characteristics of solar terms in Grain Rain in 2022

At this time, people will wear thin spring clothes, because the temperature has obviously started to rise. The average temperature in many areas has exceeded 15 degrees Celsius. There is a proverb that snow breaks in Qingming Festival and frost breaks in Grain Rain, which means that agricultural production, especially rice planting, has entered the preparation period and the busy farming has begun. At the same time, it also means that the cold wave weather is basically over and the rain is increasing. During this period, rain has a great influence on the growth and development of cereal crops. Overwintering crops need rain to turn green and jointing, and spring sowing crops also need rain to sow. People should not only prevent floods caused by excessive precipitation, but also pay attention to some rainy areas where drought may occur.

What are the main customs?

Sacrifice to the sea: At this time, the sea is also warming, and many fish swim to the shallows, which is very suitable for fishing. Fishermen will hold a sea festival and pray for the blessing of the sea god, hoping for a bumper harvest in the coming year.

What are the three stages?

In fact, every solar term is not static. During these fifteen days, we can see the changes of the surrounding natural scenery. Grain Rain's three waiting periods are: the first waiting period begins with a flat birth; The second time, pigeons blow feathers; The third stage is from Dai Sheng to Sangzi. After Grain Rain, the rainfall increased, duckweed began to grow, then cuckoo began to remind people to sow, and then Dai Sheng bird began to be seen on the mulberry tree. These climates give agriculture a very important guiding significance. If there is enough rainfall, irrigation can be guaranteed, but in some areas, there is little rainfall in a certain year, which makes spring rain as expensive as oil.
