What is the origin of the Grain Rain solar term?

Grain Rain is the sixth solar term of the twenty-four solar terms and the last solar term of spring. During the Grain Rain season, the seedlings in the fields and the new crops need rain the most, so it is said that "spring rain is as precious as oil." According to the "Huainanzi", Cangjie's creation of characters was an earth-shaking event. Huangdi issued an edict in late spring and early summer, announcing that Cangjie had successfully created characters and calling on all his subjects to learn it together. Because of his contribution to creating characters, the Emperor of Heaven was moved. At that time, the world was suffering from a famine, so he ordered the heavenly soldiers and generals to open the granary in the Heavenly Palace, and it rained millet, and all the people in the world were saved. Later generations therefore named this day Guyu, which became one of the 24 solar terms.
