Preface >>>

 

Grain Rain is the sixth of the twenty-four solar terms and the last term of spring.

The sound of rain nourishes all things, silently and gently. At this moment, spring is drawing to a close and summer is approaching, and all living things are brimming with vitality.

Guyu, meaning “rain nourishing all grains,” reflects the agricultural traditions of ancient China. The persistent spring rains are its defining characteristic.

With the arrival of the Guyu solar term, precipitation increases significantly across the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Jiangnan region in China. In South China, when cold air meets warm, moist air, prolonged periods of rain often develop. The Qinling–Huaihe Line marks the boundary between the spring rainy areas of the south and the spring drought‑prone regions of the north; north of this line, spring rainfall declines sharply. In northern China, Guyu signals the end of the last frost; major incursions of cold air into the south become less frequent, yet cold‑air activity affecting the north does not cease, and many places experience their first thunderstorms.

First pentad The duckweed begins to grow.

The second pentad The cooing dove smooths its feathers.

Third pentad To let the hoopoe descend upon the mulberry tree

 

It is said that after the Grain Rain solar term, rainfall increases and duckweed begins to grow. Then the cuckoo calls repeatedly in the fields, reminding people it is time to start sowing. After that, hoopoes appear on the mulberry trees, signaling that the silkworms are about to hatch.

Drink Guyu tea

 

There is a custom of drinking tea on Guyu. Guyu tea, also known as pre-rain tea, is spring tea harvested around the Guyu solar term and is sometimes called “second spring tea.” Legend has it that drinking tea picked on Guyu day can clear heat, ward off evil spirits, and improve eyesight.

Admire peonies

 

“On the third day of Guyu, one admires the peonies.” The peony is known as the “Guyu flower” and the “flower of wealth and honor,” and the tradition of viewing them during the Guyu season has endured for a thousand years. As noted in Gu Lu’s Qing Jia Lu: “Shrines and pavilions are built for merchants; the scene of flower‑viewing at Guyu is entirely renewed. Do not doubt that upon meeting, no beauty can rival it—under brocade canopies, only Yu Lou Chun is protected.” ”

 

Three

Worship of Cangjie

 

The Qingming Festival honors the Yellow Emperor, and the Guyu Festival honors Cangjie; these are folk traditions that have been passed down for thousands of years since the Han Dynasty.

According to the Huainanzi, at the turn of spring and summer, the Yellow Emperor issued an edict announcing that Cangjie had successfully created writing, and it rained millet that day.

After Cangjie’s death, the people buried him in his hometown—north of Shiguan Town in Baishui County—and inscribed a couplet on his tombstone: “In days of yore, his gift of grain moved heaven and earth; for all time, his unified script shall be paired with the Bridge Mausoleum.” Every year, during the Grain Rain solar term, the Cangjie Temple Fair is held as scheduled in Baishui County, Shaanxi Province.
