What does the Rain Water solar term mean?Rain Water is the second solar term of the 24 solar terms. It occurs around the 15th day of the first lunar month every year (February 18-20 in the Gregorian calendar) when the sun's ecliptic longitude reaches 330 degrees.At this time, the temperature rises, the ice and snow melt, and the precipitation increases, so it is named Rainwater. The Rain Water solar term generally starts on February 18 or 19 of the Gregorian calendar and ends on March 4 or 5. Rainwater, like Grain Rain, Light Snow and Heavy Snow, is a solar term that reflects precipitation phenomena. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" states: "In the middle of the first month, heaven produces water. The beginning of spring belongs to wood, but what produces wood must be water, so the Rain Water follows the Beginning of Spring. And when the east wind thaws the ice, it dissipates and turns into rain." This means that around the Rain Water solar term, all things begin to sprout and spring is about to arrive. For example, the "Book of Yi Zhou" records the phenological phenomena such as "the arrival of wild geese" and "the sprouting of grass and trees" after the Rain Water Festival. After the rain comes the Jingzhe Festival. What are the taboos in sacrifice?(1) It is forbidden for women and outsiders to participate in sacrificial ceremonies . Many ethnic groups, such as the Yi, Miao, Nu, Dai, Wa, Hani, Lisu, and Oroqen, have the custom of prohibiting women from participating in sacrificial ceremonies and prohibiting outsiders from entering sacrificial sites.(2) It is taboo for unclean people to participate in sacrifices to the gods. During Han Chinese sacrifices, it is taboo for unclean people to participate. That is, it is taboo for menstruating women, pregnant women, women who have just given birth, infants, people wearing mourning clothes, and people who have been punished to participate. (3) Avoid inviting a person of high moral character and prestige to preside over the sacrifice. When offering sacrifices , one should choose a person of high moral character and prestige who is over 50 years old. Otherwise, the presiding priest will die immediately due to his young age and will not be able to enjoy such an honor. A new stage of life has already begun in 2020.
