What is the saying that it rains in cold dew and solar terms?

The saying that it rains in the cold dew solar terms is that it rains in the cold dew, and then it rains.

The meaning is simple and clear It is said that if it rains on the day of the cold dew solar term, it indicates that there will be more rain behind, and there may even be more rain and snow in winter, resulting in "bad winter". This agricultural proverb is widely circulated in China, and it is found in many places.

Some places also say that "if it rains, there will be no rice to sell in the market", which means the same thing.

At this time, it will affect the harvesting and drying of late rice, and the price of rice in the natural market will rise. As for Huang Zijiao's wealth, that's an exaggeration.
