This means that after Grain Rain, rainfall increases, duckweed begins to grow, then cuckoos begin to remind people to sow seeds, and hoopoes begin to be seen on the mulberry trees. After the Grain Rain solar term, rainfall increases and the humidity in the air gradually increases. At this time, we should follow the changes in the natural solar terms in our health preservation and adjust our health according to its climatic characteristics. At the same time, as the weather warms up, people's outdoor activities increase, peach blossoms, apricot blossoms and other flowers in the northern regions bloom, and poplar and willow catkins are flying everywhere. Rain brings forth all kinds of grains. With sufficient and timely rainfall, cereal crops can thrive. In southern China during the Grain Rain season, "the poplar flowers have fallen and the cuckoos are crying", willow catkins are flying, the cuckoos are crying at night, peonies are blooming, and cherries are ripe, and the natural scenery tells people: 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℃ to 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 already entered summer. The relatively high spring temperatures in South China are conducive to early cultivation of major spring crops. The suitable temperature for planting sweet potatoes is 18℃ to 22℃, which is enough at this time. Experience in the old drought-stricken areas of South China has shown that if sweet potatoes are planted early after Grain Rain, the vines and leaves can cover the ridges before the summer drought, thereby enhancing drought resistance and achieving high and stable yields. |
