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 is the meaning of the Grain Rain solar term?Guyu meaning 1 <br /> Guyu, as the name suggests, means rain after sowing grain. In other words, this is the best time to sow seeds, transplant seedlings, and plant melons and beans. Because there will be more rainfall during the Grain Rain season, it is greatly beneficial to the growth of cereal crops. Around the time of Grain Rain is the best time to sow seeds, transplant seedlings, and plant melons and beans. Regarding the meaning of Grain Rain, the ancients once said that "rain brings forth hundreds of grains." "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, the temperature begins to rise, and the rainfall increases. The rainfall during this period is very important for the growth and development of cereal crops. Overwintering crops need rain to help them turn green and grow, and spring-sown crops also need rain for sowing and germination. Rain is greatly beneficial to the growth of cereal crops, so it is called "Gu Yu".The meaning of Guyu 2 <br /> Regarding the relationship between Guyu and Cangjie, according to the Huainanzi, Cangjie's creation of characters was an earth-shaking event. Huangdi issued an edict in late spring and early summer, announcing that Cangjie had successfully created characters and calling on all his subjects to learn it together. Because Cangjie's merit in creating characters moved heaven, the Jade Emperor also bestowed a millet rain on the world to reward his holy work. This is the current "Guyu" solar term. What are the climatic characteristics of Guyu?During the Grain Rain season (from April 20 or 21 to May 4 or 5), the temperature in the Central Plains generally rises. Orioles are flying, grass is growing, willows are green and flowers are red. At this time, the temperature in most areas has stabilized at around 17" (3, higher in southwestern Henan, up to 18℃, lower than 17℃ in eastern Henan, and only 16℃ in Lushi, western Henan. The extreme maximum temperature in all places is above 30℃, and the area north of Zhengzhou generally reaches 35℃, and Anyang in northern Henan is even higher, reaching 38.112. The extreme minimum temperature is between 2 and 4"C in most areas, and it is still minus 1 to 3℃ in the mountainous areas of western Henan. At this time, rapeseed in the field is approaching the end of flowering, cotton sowing is about to be finished, early rice in Huainan begins to raise seedlings, winter wheat in northern and central Henan enters the peak period of heading and flowering, and spring-sown crops generally emerge and grow. "The snow stops in Qingming, and the frost stops in Guyu" is a portrayal of the climate in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. It means that after Guyu, there will be no frost. But we should not be careless. According to records, the last frost in Linzhou City in northern Henan generally ends around April 12, but the latest date can be delayed to April 26, so we should not take frost prevention and disaster prevention lightly.During the Grain Rain period, the precipitation amount, number of rainy days and precipitation intensity in the Central Plains region all increased significantly. The precipitation in southern Henan and mountainous areas in southwestern Henan generally reached 50 to 60 mm, especially in Xinxian County in the southernmost part of Henan, where it reached 117.9 mm. Compared with the previous solar term, the number of rainy days generally increases by 1 to 2 days. The distribution is: about 4 days in most areas, 5 to 6 days in the mountainous areas of western Henan and Nanyang, Xinyang and other places, and as many as 8 days in Xinxian County. However, although the precipitation during this period can basically meet the requirements for crop planting and growth on average over many years, this is not the case every year. |
