What are the three signs of Grain Rain? What are the explanations and considerations?
Grain Rain is one of China's traditional solar terms and has a profound influence on people. In folk culture, Grain Rain is divided into three phases. So what are the three phases of Grain Rain? The third month of the lunar calendar is the last month of spring and it is also a time full of vitality. If you want to know more about the third month of the lunar calendar in 2018, please pay attention to our Fortune Teller website!What are the three signs of Guyu?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; and 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 hoopoes begin to be seen on the mulberry trees.After the Grain Rain solar term, rainfall increases and all kinds of grains grow. The rainfall was sufficient and timely, and cereal crops thrived. In the southern region during the Grain Rain season, "the poplar catkins have fallen and 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: 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 exceeds 30℃ for one or two days, making people begin to feel hot. 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. “Before Grain Rain, it is a good time to plant cotton”, and it is also said: “If you don’t plant flowers during Grain Rain, your heart will feel like a crab crawling”. Since ancient times, cotton farmers have used the Grain Rain Festival as an indicator for cotton planting, compiled it into proverbs and passed it down from generation to generation. Most of the weather proverbs about the Grain Rain Festival revolve around whether it will rain or not, such as "It's cloudy and gloomy on Grain Rain, and it rains heavily on Beginning of Summer", "It rains on Grain Rain, and there will be no dry soil for forty-five days", etc. In addition, during the Grain Rain season, if the temperature is too high and it rains frequently, the three wheat pests and diseases will occur and spread. The vast rural areas should carry out disease and pest control of the three wheat crops according to weather changes. |
