The origin of rainwater

Rainwater is the solar term following the Beginning of Spring among the twenty-four solar terms. It is also the first solar term representing rainfall and precipitation. After the Rainwater, the temperature begins to rise, the ice and snow slowly melt, and the precipitation gradually increases, so it is the Rainwater. There is also a saying that wild geese come after the Rainwater festival. Moreover, after the Rain Water solar term, it is the real spring in the meteorological sense.

The Rain Water solar term starts at the beginning and ends at the Waking of Insects. At this time, the direct sunlight slowly approaches the equator. During the Rain Water season, precipitation begins to increase. The arrival of rain not only means an increase in precipitation, but also represents a warming temperature. At this time, the earth comes back to life, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. At this time, overwintering crops also begin to turn green and grow. Bacteria begin to increase after the rain, making it easier to catch a cold, so everyone should be prepared to protect themselves.

Health preservation during the rainy season

During the Rainy Water season, the liver qi is strong and the liver can easily suppress the spleen, so in spring health care, you should protect the liver and spleen. During this season, you should ensure the nutritional balance of food, eat less spicy food, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. You can eat more millet, carrots, crucian carp and other foods. Also, keep warm during the Rainy Water season to avoid colds.
