Valley rain, the last solar term of spring
"Rain born hundred valleys" is for the valley rain
Raindrops are like big beads and small beads
It falls lightly on green leaves and fields
Snow-white willows are raised
The peony blossoms are as bright as red
Spring shoots turn into bamboo and joint
Flowers are growing up
People sow hope and work hard
Valley rain, although it is late spring
But everything in heaven and earth is still bright and lovely
It presents a story of growth
Let us cherish this last touch of spring
Heading for sunny days
Of the twenty-four solar terms, Gu Yu is the sixth and the last of spring. After the valley rains, spring slowly leaves. In the "Seventy-two Waiting Solutions to the Moon Order", it is recorded: "In the middle of March, after the rain, the earth was pulsating, and now it is raining in the valley of the water. He also explained: "Rain reads as going to the sound, like rain in my public fields." Gaigu sows seeds at this time, from top to bottom also. ”
The word "rain" for Gu Yu, pronounced the fourth sound (yù), is used as a verb. The rain of the valley rain is sometimes a rapid splash, sometimes a gentle drip. When it reaches the ground, it turns into gentle water, which is a farewell to spring. It is often said that water is the source of life. During the rainy season of the valley, spring parted with rain, and everything was reborn in the rain.
The new birth of Gu Yu is the jubilation of all sentient beings. Sometimes the flowers bloom in the late spring, blooming in the valley rain, blending into a rainbow; sometimes the southern plums emerge from the branches and form round and pleasant green clumps.
Gu Yu this season is also a small new life for people. Farmers took advantage of the spring rains to sow grain seeds, planting new hope for the year. People are facing new days, may have new ideas, to pursue new goals.
Gu Yu is the parting of spring and the rebirth of all things. The spring rain has flowed to countless roads and countless possibilities for the future. Valley rain is precious, the future can be expected.
Gu Yu · At dusk in spring, flowers bloom in spring
In ancient times, the mainland divided Gu Yu into three seasons: "The first waiting for Ping to be born, the second waiting for the dove to whisk its feathers, and the third waiting for Dai Sheng to descend to Sang." ”
After the rain in the valley, due to the increase in rainfall, the duckweed on the surface of the water began to grow, then the cuckoo flew with its wings and began to remind people to sow seeds, and then the daisheng bird began to be seen in the mulberry tree.
The Tang Dynasty poet Yuan Shu's "Yong 24 Qi Poems : Gu Yu in March" also vividly depicts the objects of the Gu Yu festival: "Gu Yu spring dawns, mountains and rivers are blue." Ye Jian Ming Dai Sheng, Ze Shui Long Duckweed. Silkworm ants grow in warm houses, and the noisy wind attracts wheat leaves. The dove whisked its feathers, and the letter was unbearable. In the southern region during the rainy season of the valley, "the poplar flowers fall to the end of the rules", the willows fly, the azaleas cry at night, the peony spits, the cherry is red, and the natural scenery tells people: It is late spring. The Tang Dynasty poet Meng Haoran wrote in the poem "Sending Nan Ba Cui Envoy Jun on the Way to Spring": "Travelers travel to draw, and spring is melting." In the sound of agricultural frogs, in the color of the grass. Alone out of the valley rain, not warming the weather wind. ZiYu and Yu should be pitied and hated. "The suburban scenery during the rainy season of the valley, the water surface scenery, and the unhurried agricultural activities all jump on the paper.
Gu Yu's flower trade winds are three: "one waiting for peony, two waiting for the grass, and three waiting for neem flowers." ”
"The clouds want to dress and flowers, and the spring breeze blows Revlon." The warm rain in late spring smokes the peony's flower color and gives the peony the name of "Valley Rain Flower". The bloom of the national color and heavenly fragrance is the grandest farewell of spring, even if spring is coming to an end, there is no need to be depressed, only the spring light of this season, happy and full bloom.
"Thank you for the spring break." In the eyes of the Buddhists, the pure white tulip is the flower of the other shore, with the meaning of completion, with a faint sadness. Legend has it that the Song dynasty Fan Zhen, in the late spring, set up a feast and drink under the flower stand, the breeze blows, and the flowers are like snow, falling in whose cup, "floating a big white", who will drink all the wine in the cup, called "Feiying Hui". The opening of the camellia flowers is a farewell to spring. Such a farewell, with a pale white sorrow, but also still fragrant. Because the departure of spring is not the end, but the chapter that still needs to be written.
"The light rain and the breeze fall on the neem flowers, and the fine red is like snow and sand." In the late spring, the neem blossoms are brilliant and grand. The sprinkles of lilac, hanging high on the branches, turned into a field of stars, as if they were dotting the night sky of spring, preparing to usher in the dawn of early summer.
During the rainy season of the valley, the spring light is late, but it is not sad, but it is a grand bloom to resign from others, beautiful and open-minded, beautiful and frank. As Sanmao once said: "The most beautiful thing about time lies in its inevitable passage." "When the season comes, the departure of spring is resolute, but it leaves us with flowers to leave us with a brilliant back. Even if you are parting, you must smile and say goodbye.
Gu Yu · Rain grows a hundred grains, there is a kind of harvest
Valley rain, spring rain is as expensive as oil
Among the twenty-four solar terms, there are two with the word rain - rain and valley rain. In terms of temperature, after the spring, the rain is warm and cold, and the rain is cold and fluttering. The valley rain is different, the cold recedes, the warmth comes, the rain at this time, close to the warm rain, is no longer cold, bringing more vitality to all things.
The Commentaries on the Interpretation of The Text says: "Rain, water from under the clouds also." One is like the sky, the same is like the clouds, and the water is also in between. "Rain, the upper part of the oracle bone is a horizontal, the lower part is like raindrops. Some people think that it is the sky, some people think it is the cloud, and both views are intended to show the origin of rain, reflecting the observation and cognition of natural phenomena by the ancients.
In the ancient agricultural society of the mainland, rain was one of the important factors affecting agricultural production. Rain and run farmland, is the most basic condition for the growth of crops, wind and rain smooth, only then can there be Guotai Min'an. Rain gives birth to a hundred grains, which is a gift of nature. People love the rain, hope for the rain, pray for the rain, not want to enjoy the success, do not work for nothing, but even if they encounter the harsh natural environment, they still have the firm belief of longing to create a better life through labor.
The ancients had too many special feelings for rain, "long drought and Ganlin" was listed as the first of the four joys of life, because drought and lack of rain means that there is no food for the stomach, and even survival is a problem, where will there be "other hometown encounters old knowledge", "cave room flower candle night" and "golden list inscription time"? Therefore, people often sing from the bottom of their hearts for good rain - "When the rain falls, all the people are praised, it is called Liquan"; "When the sky falls, the mountains and rivers come out of the clouds"; "When the sky is full of clouds, and when it rains, the seedlings are prosperous"... In literary works such as Tang and Song dynasty poems, the sound of rain is heard everywhere: morning rain, night rain, light rain, smoke rain, plantain rain, sycamore rain, apricot blossom rain... Whether it is Jiangnan talents or barefoot fishing trees, they have borrowed rain lyrically to reach their intentions, and people's love and praise for rain are really to the extreme.
In the era of farming, people rely on the sky to eat, and the rain in the valley brings vitality, which means a year's livelihood. In this season when all things are growing freely, may we be able to accompany the full rain, work hard, and usher in a harvest-filled future.
Valley rain, pay side has a harvest
Since the valley rain, the rain has been gusting, the land has pulsated, and the grain has been born of rain. Before the valley rain, the spring rain was still as misty as a cloud, and as soon as the valley rain arrived, the rain became sharp, falling from the sky one by one, falling on the petals, and falling on the eaves of the village. For busy farmers, the rain in the valley is a beautiful day and a good season.
Valley rain, rain is on the one hand, the focus is still the word valley. In ancient times, valley rain was related to life, related to labor, and more related to livelihood. The dove whisked its feathers, and the cuckoo reminded the sowing, "Before the valley rains, it is good to plant cotton", "the valley rain does not plant flowers, the heart is like a crab crawling", "the valley rains in the rainy season, the valley is busy planting cotton", "before and after the valley rains, plant melons and beans", these lively sayings are the importance of the valley rain. The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the spring is planted first, and the harvest is harvested in the autumn. This is not only the gratitude of the farmers to the heavens, but also the living arrangements made in accordance with the time of heaven.
Gu Yu is the most promising festival for The Author of Lao. The cultivators, all with the good wishes of harvest, are busy with joy. In the past, during the rainy season of the valley, farmers wore cloaks, carried climbing plows, led cattle, sowed seeds, and returned from the fields in the sloping wind and drizzle, their faces were full of smiles. Valley rain brings the hope of spring, even busy is sweet, although to the harvest season, but also to experience the summer heat and autumn waiting, but with hope, everything is beautiful.
Gu Yu belongs to the countryside, belongs to the field, belongs to the author of labor, belongs to the green of all things, as a spiritual sustenance for a good life, Gu Yu summons and implies busy people, pay to have a harvest.
Gu Yu · Spring is melting and there are many things to do
Valley rain, peony blossoms bloom the color of the country
The valley rainy season is an important period for peony blossoms, so peonies are also called "valley rain flowers". Liu Yuxi said: "Only peonies are really the color of the country, and the flowers move the capital during the blossom season." Tang Wang Zhenbai has clouds: "Gu Yu washes fibrin and cuts it into white peony." Exotic fragrance open jade, light powder mud silver plate. Gu Lu of the Qing Dynasty "Qing Jia Lu" said: "The shrine annex is built by merchants, and Gu Yu looks at the flower bureau." Unbelieving in the encounter without national color, the jin shed only protects the jade building spring. ”
Peony viewing is a major custom during the rainy season of the valley. "Gu Yu Three Dynasties Look at The Peony", the huge red petals are layered on top of each other, wrapped in a golden heart, and the spring breeze blows lightly, delicate and moving.
Legend has it that one year in the middle of winter, Wu Zetian had a whim and ordered a hundred flowers to bloom. As a result, only the peony flowers do not follow. Wu Zetian was angry and ordered the peony flower to be reduced to Luoyang City. Who knows, as soon as the peony flowers arrive in Luoyang, they will bloom like summer, red as the sun. Although it is only a legend, such a peony flower is really loved and respected, and it has the color of a big country, like the prosperity of that prosperous world. It also has the bones of a great power, and it will only open for itself.
Some people say that people live in the world like peonies, the appearance can be soft, and the inside must not lose the pride of the bone sword heart. Be like a peony, accumulate a season of wind and rain dew, just to bloom happily, proud flowers, brave people, and live every present as their own season.
Gu Yu, a pot of new tea bubble pine roses
During the rainy season of the valley, it is a good day to drink tea. Guyu tea, also known as pre-rain tea, is a spring tea picked during the rainy season of the valley, also known as erchun tea.
People believe that Mingqian tea and rainy tea harvested during the rainy season of the valley are the best teas of the year. In addition to the young buds, Gu Yu tea also has one bud and one young leaf or one bud and two young leaves. The tea leaves of one bud and one young leaf are soaked in water like an ancient gun that unfolds the flag, called the flag gun; the tongue of a finch with one bud and two young leaves becomes a finch tongue. Tea farmers believe that only dried tea made of fresh tea leaves picked on the day of Gu Yu can be regarded as real pre-rain tea. And there is also a demanding requirement, that is, it must be picked in the morning. After the new tea was made in the spring of the Tang and Song dynasties, tea farmers and tea customers were also keen on a kind of "fighting tea" activity that compared the advantages and disadvantages of the new tea and ranked it.
Xu Cishu of the Ming Dynasty said in the "Tea Shu": "Qingming is too early, the summer is too late, and before and after the valley rain, the timing is moderate. "After the rest of winter and the nourishment of spring, the tea leaves in the rainy season of the valley are the buds and leaves are thick, soft in texture, verdant in color, and lively and delicious in taste. Tang Dynasty Qiji has Gu Yu to taste tea poems: "Before the spring valley rains, and pick the smoke by hand." Green tender is difficult to cage, clear and easy to late days. And invite neighbors to cook the falling flower spring. The land is far away from each other, and there is no coming and the next year. "Legend has it that Gu Yu's tea on this day can clear the fire and clear the eyes, through the whole body is not smooth, especially nourishing, worth a good drink."
Zheng Banqiao also has poems: a few new leaves Xiao Xiao bamboo, several strokes across the pale mountain. Just in the morning and rain, a cup of fragrant tea sat in the middle. Today, it is better to sit by the window, make yourself a cup of Guyu tea, drink slowly, taste carefully, and feel this April day on earth.
Valley rain, before the rain Tsubaki buds tender as silk
"Before the rain Tsubaki buds are tender as silk, after the rain Tsubaki buds are woody", before the valley rain is the season of eating toon, this custom in China seems to be no distinction between north and south, as long as the spring is bright, warm and windy season, the tall and thick toon trees will begin to burst out of the purple-red buds of the tree, at this time, the meeting, there is always a green smell of toon in the air.
Toon is fragrant, mellow and refreshing, high nutritional value, can be made into a variety of dishes, Su Shi once used "toon wood solid and leaves fragrant" to praise this seasonal fresh vegetables. There are many ways to eat toon, and the most popular is "scrambled eggs with toon". The blanched toon is chopped, stirred well with the egg mixture and salt, and finally slipped in the pan until it solidifies, and the egg aroma blends with the aroma of vegetables, which can be described as the most haunting delicacy of spring.
The valley rain is coming, and spring is about to pass, so the beautiful spring scenery should be cherished, and this precious fresh vegetable should also be eaten more during the valley rainy season. When the rain comes, eating this plate of toon is like eating spring into the stomach, and we can live forever in the warm blossoms of spring.
Gu Yu, Yellow Oriole Left Singing Mulberry Beauty
Gu Yu is the season for picking mulberries, and Mencius says: "The house of five acres, the mulberry of the trees, the fifty can be clothed." "But the busy season of mulberry picking can't hold back the restless hearts of young people, and the ancients used to like to date under the emerald green mulberry forest during the rainy season of the valley, and the birds on the branches jumped around and squeaked, as if to remind them not to miss the agricultural time."
Before and after the valley rain, mulberries were listed, and the ancient poems said that "the yellow oriole left the singing mulberry beauty", and the ancient fang's "Seven Signatures of Yundi" also recorded: "Eat mulberry wine, you can also choose ointment... One small glass per serving, wine serving. Cure hundreds of wind diseases. "Eat mulberries and drink mulberry wine, very good during the rainy season in the valley.
Du Fu Shiyun: Cuckoo spring seeds. "From the beginning of farming, the cuckoo flies in the mulberry, and the Ruoyun Valley can be planted." Cuckoos are also called cuckoos, zigui, many poets throughout the ages have borrowed the voice of cuckoo to send mourning, such as Li Poplar flowers falling to the sub-rules crying, Li Shang hidden hopes for emperor Chunxin to entrust cuckoos. But Xiaobian feels that the valley rain cherishes spring, it is not too late, rather than sighing, it is better to enjoy the good time of spring.
In ancient times, on the day of valley rain, there was also the custom of "walking valley rain". In the past, people would walk around the village on this day, or walk around, just to get closer to nature and strengthen their health. Nowadays, affected by the epidemic, it is not necessary to visit the door at this time, and when the epidemic is over, we will accompany our friends more and go to see the great rivers and mountains together.
Now it rains again,
Spring has come to an end,
But don't take it as the end,
And continue to bury the head and sow the seeds.
The fruit on the branches, the seedlings in the field,
Each is vigorous and lively.
For us, kung fu is in our hands,
We have to hold it firmly.
Silently insist, move forward steadily,
You know, live tirelessly and seriously,
Nature will bear fruitful fruit.
