Introduction介绍Today is Grain Rain, the sixth solar term in the traditional 24 solar terms of China and also the last solar term in spring.今天是谷雨(Grain Rain),是中国传统二十四节气中的第六个节气,也是春季的最后一个节气Grain Rain originates from the old saying "Rain brings up the growth ofhundreds of grains", which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops.

It's a great time for planting and farming. There is a Chinese saying: "If you don't grow cotton during the Grain Rain, you feel like a crab is crawling in your heart." It means if you miss the best time for planting, you will feel sorry later.在这个节气里,将会有更多的降雨,这有助于粮食的生长这是种植和耕种的好时机中国有句谚语:“谷雨不种花,心头像蟹爬”意思是如果你错过了种植的最佳时间,你以后会感到遗憾So during this period, farmers always begin to grow crops.
