What are the customs and practices during the Grain Rain solar term?

1. Eating Chinese toon : A folk proverb says: "Before the rain, Chinese toon is as tender as silk", so there is a custom of "eating Chinese toon during Grain Rain" in some areas in the north. Around the time of Grain Rain, new buds of Chinese toon begin to bloom, with a mellow, refreshing fragrance and rich nutrition. People pick Chinese toon and stir-fry, mix, blanch or make soup with it, and eat it with relish. Nutritionists believe that toon has the effects of improving the body's immunity, strengthening the stomach, regulating qi, stopping diarrhea, moisturizing the skin, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and insecticidal. Eating toon during the Grain Rain season has the effect of "spring tonic".
2. Look at the peonies . Peonies are in full bloom around the time of Grain Rain, therefore, peonies are also called "Grain Rain flowers." The custom of "viewing peonies three days after Grain Rain" is still popular in Henan Province: During the Grain Rain season, various places hold "Peony Flower Shows", and people wander in the sea of ​​flowers, feeling the breath of spring and the beauty of life.
3. Clear and kill the five poisonous insects . After Grain Rain, the temperature rises and pests and diseases enter a high-reproduction period. In order to reduce the damage of pests and diseases to crops and people, farmers go into the fields to kill insects while posting Grain Rain stickers to pray for driving away evil and welcoming good luck.
4. Walking on Guyu In ancient times, there was a custom of "walking on Guyu". On this day of Guyu, young women would visit villages and relatives, or take a walk in the wild, which meant to integrate with nature and strengthen the body. 5. Grain Rain Sea Festival Grain Rain season is when the water is warm in spring and fishes swim to shallow sea areas, making it a good day to go fishing. As the saying goes, "Go to the surfing ground on the Grain Rain". In order to go out to sea safely and return with a full load, fishermen hold a sea sacrifice on the day of Grain Rain and pray for the blessing of the sea god.
6. The water from the Peach Blossom Water Bath during the Grain Rain Festival is also very precious. In the old days, people called the river water during Grain Rain "peach blossom water". In some areas of the northwest, it is said that bathing with "peach blossom water" can ward off disasters and avoid misfortunes, so on the day of Grain Rain, every family sends people to fetch "peach blossom water" for bathing, and also holds related celebrations such as hunting and dancing.

What to do in Guyu 2019?

With the arrival of Grain Rain, late spring has arrived, all things are growing vigorously and the weather is getting warmer. The temperature is higher at noon, but still lower in the morning and evening, so you should wear more clothes in the morning and evening, and especially be careful not to be blown by the wind after sweating profusely to prevent colds; people with allergies should also prevent pollen allergies when going out, and prevent attacks of allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, etc.
At this time, the Yang energy gradually increases and the Yin energy gradually disappears. You should go to bed early and get up early, and avoid sweating excessively, in order to regulate the internal energy. In addition, because there is more rain during the Grain Rain season, we must prevent dampness from invading the human body and causing symptoms such as shoulder and neck pain, joint pain, abdominal distension, and loss of appetite. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
