At 0:42:50 on February 19, we ushered in the second of the twenty-four solar terms , rain.
Just the day before, there was also a snow in Lanzhou, the peak of Lanshan Mountain was white, the green railings of the three pavilions were green tiles, the snow was around the cornices, and the far horizon was overlooked, all of which were fairytale romance.
However, this snow seems to be the last stubbornness of winter, and it will soon disappear.
"Good rain knows the season, when spring is happening." If lichun is the "overture" of spring, but it has just sprouted in spring, and it will be warm and cold at first, then the rain will enter the second movement of spring, "variation".
The ancients said: "The east wind thaws, the ice and snow are scattered into water, turned into rain, so it is called rainwater." This is also the origin of the name "rain". In the book "The Seventy-Two Waiting Solutions of the Moon Order", wu Cheng of the Yuanren said: "In the middle of the first month, the sky is born of water, and the spring begins with wood, and those who give birth to wood will also have water, so the rain that follows the spring will follow." ”
The rain came, and the spring was warmer and greener.
The ancients divided rainwater into three seasons: "one waits for the otter to sacrifice fish, the second waits for the wild geese to come, and the third waits for the grass and trees to sprout." "It's about the arrival of the rainy season, the ice on the surface of the water melts and the otters start fishing. Otters like to put fish on the shore after biting and placing them in a sequential manner, like sacrifices, so there is a saying of "otter sacrifice fish". Five days after the rain, the geese began to fly back from the south back to the north. In another five days, the grass and trees began to sprout with the rising of the yang in the ground. Since then, the earth has gradually begun to show a thriving scene.
Man is closely related to all things in the world. When the solar terms are heavenly, they are actually projected on people's state of mind. When the mood is clear, there is no fear of rain with an umbrella in hand; when the heart is sad, the rain of the whole world seems to be falling for oneself.
Rain is a letter sent out in the spring, full of hope, and we are all recipients. From now on, may our hearts always be sunny and the road always be smooth, no matter whether we experience rain or shine.
