It occurs when the sun reaches 30° of the ecliptic longitude from April 19th to 21st every year. It comes from the ancient saying that "rain brings forth hundreds of grains." It is also the best time to sow seeds, transplant seedlings, and plant melons and beans. "The snow stops in Qingming and the frost stops in Guyu." Meteorological experts say that Guyu is the last solar term in spring. The arrival of Guyu means that the cold wave weather is basically over and the temperature will rise faster, which is greatly beneficial to the growth of cereal crops. What does Guyu mean?Guyu means "rain brings forth all kinds of grains" and it occurs when the sun reaches 30° of the ecliptic longitude on April 20 or 21 every year.During the Grain Rain season, in southern China, "the poplar flowers have all fallen, 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 that 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 also entered summer. 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; the third stage is when hoopoes descend on mulberry trees." This means that after Grain Rain, rainfall increases, duckweed begins to grow, then cuckoos begin to remind people to sow seeds, and finally hoopoes begin to be seen on mulberry trees. During the Grain Rain solar term, the high-altitude westerly jet stream in East Asia will once again weaken significantly and move northward. The warm and humid air mass in South China will be relatively active, the westerly belt will circulate frequently from west to east, and the low pressure and Jianghuai cyclone activities will gradually increase. Under its influence, there will be continuous rain or strong winds and rainstorms in the Jianghuai region. Grain Rain is the last solar term in spring. At this time, the seedlings in the fields are first planted and the crops are newly planted, which need rain the most. That is why it is said that "spring rain is as precious as oil." Analysis of the Development of GuyuAbout 4,000 years ago, Emperor Huangdi was elected as the leader of the tribal alliance by the tribal leaders, and he appointed Cangjie as the left historian. After Cang Jie became a historian, he used different types of shells and knots of different sizes and horizontal and vertical dimensions as marks to record events. However, as Cangjie was in charge of more and more affairs, the old method was far from meeting the needs, and Cangjie was very worried.Every year during the Grain Rain Festival, the Cangjie Temple holds a traditional temple fair which lasts for seven to ten days. Year after year, thousands of people come here from all directions to hold grand and solemn ceremonies to welcome Cang Sheng into the temple and to remember and worship Cang Jie, the ancestor of Chinese characters. People dance the yangge, run on bamboo horses, perform folk performances, show martial arts, beat drums and gongs, put on operas, sing and dance to express their respect and remembrance for Cang Sheng. Opera troupes and businesses also came to join in the fun, making the event extremely lively. The Cangjie Temple Fair has become a grand festival in the local area. Even the local customs of going to school to seek a teacher, respecting and cherishing words, loving to drink red bean porridge, living in cave dwellings, begging for rain, begging for children, praying for blessings and warding off disasters are all related to Cangjie.
