Rain is the second solar term in the twenty-four solar terms. At this time, the sun reaches 330 degrees of ecliptic longitude, which is the season of "seven-nine rivers open and eight-nine wild geese come" in "Number Nine".
The rainwater solar term usually comes from February 18 to 20 in the Gregorian calendar, and this year's rain falls on February 19.
Like Grain Rain, Light Snow, and Heavy Snow, rain is also a solar term that reflects the phenomenon of precipitation.
The east wind thaws and turns into rain
Temperatures rise above 0 degrees Celsius in most areas
In "The Seventy-two Hours of the Moon Order", it says: "In the middle of the first month. When the sky is full of water, the beginning of spring belongs to wood. However, those who produce wood must also be water. Therefore, rain follows the beginning of spring, and when the east wind is thawed, it will disperse and become rain. That's it." That is to say, spring is inseparable from the moisturizing of water. Before and after the rainy season, the grass and trees sprout, the snow gradually decreases, the rain gradually increases, and spring is here.
The ancients divided the 15 days of the rainy solar term into three phases: the first phase of offering sacrifices to otters; the second phase of the geese north; the third phase of the sprouting of vegetation.
It means that when the otters start fishing, they put the fish they catch on the shore first, just like displaying offerings for sacrifice; after 5 days, the geese fly back from the south to the north one after another; In the silent spring rain, the grass and trees stretch out and grow.
During the rainy season, the temperature in most areas returns to above 0 degrees Celsius, the average temperature in the Huanghuai Plain has reached about 3 degrees Celsius, the average temperature in Jiangnan is about 5 degrees Celsius, and the average temperature in South China is above 10 degrees Celsius.

"Rain and rain are good for crops, and a big spring and a small spring are a treasure." For agricultural affairs, the rainy season is a critical period for management in small spring and preparation for cultivation in big spring.
In North China, Northwest my country and the Huanghuai region, the precipitation is generally less, which often cannot meet the needs of agricultural production.
If there is a lack of precipitation in early spring, spring irrigation should be carried out in time to replenish water before and after the rain.
Spring irrigation promotes early spring irrigation, which is conducive to early relief of drought and meets the demand for water and fertilizer when winter wheat and rapeseed turn green.
In the area south of the Huai River, cultivating and hoeing is the main method, and at the same time, the fields are cleaned and drained to prevent excessive spring rains, which will cause dampness and rotten roots.
In South China, the double-season early rice seedlings have already started, and attention should be paid to grasping the "cold tail and warm head", rushing to plant the seeds, and striving to sow all the seedlings at once.
