The arrival of the Guyu solar term means that the cold wave weather is basically over and the temperature will rise faster, which is greatly beneficial to the growth of cereal crops. During the Grain Rain season, the seedlings in the fields and the new crops need rain the most to nourish them, so it is said that "spring rain is as precious as oil". During the Grain Rain season, in southern China, "the poplar flowers have all fallen, the cuckoos are crying", willow catkins are flying, the cuckoos are crying at night, the peonies are blooming, and the cherries are ripe. The natural scenery tells people that it is late spring. At this time, the temperature in the south rises rapidly. Generally, the average temperature in late April, except for northern South China and some western areas, has reached 20℃~22℃, which is more than 2℃ higher than mid-month. In the eastern part of South China, the temperature often rises above 30 degrees for one or two days, making people begin to feel the heat. The low-altitude river valley areas have also entered summer. In ancient China, Grain Rain was divided into three stages: "The first stage is when duckweed begins to grow; the second stage is when cuckoos flap their feathers; the third stage is when hoopoes descend on the mulberry trees." This means that after Grain Rain, rainfall increases, duckweed begins to grow, then cuckoos begin to remind people to sow seeds, and finally hoopoes begin to be seen on the mulberry trees. What solar term comes after Grain Rain?The solar term after Grain Rain is " Lixia ", which indicates the arrival of summer, so Grain Rain is the last solar term in spring, representing the alternation of spring and summer.Lixia is an important solar term that indicates that all things enter their peak growth season. It is the seventh solar term in the 24 solar terms and the first solar term in summer. It falls on May 5-7 of the Gregorian calendar every year, when the handle of the Big Dipper points to the southeast and the sun's ecliptic longitude reaches 45°. The Beginning of Summer marks the farewell to spring and the beginning of summer. Spring brings growth, summer brings growth, autumn brings harvest, and winter brings storage. When it comes to the Beginning of Summer, all things flourish. Due to my country's vast territory and large north-south span, the natural rhythms vary from place to place. During the Beginning of Summer season, only the areas south of the line from Fuzhou to Nanling in my country enter the true summer with "dense green trees and long summer days, and reflections of buildings in ponds"; while parts of the Northeast and Northwest have just begun to feel the breath of spring. According to the classification standards of modern climatology in my country (seasonal average temperature), summer begins when the daily average temperature stably rises to above 22℃.
