Gu Yu is the sixth solar term in China's 24 solar terms and the last solar term in spring. The climate is mild before and after the grain rain, and the precipitation is mostly concentrated at this time. Will it rain this year? What are the climatic characteristics of grain rain? Come and have a look.
Will it rain in 2018
The solar term of grain rain is rainy season, so it may rain, but the specific situation must be based on the weather forecast of the day.
The ancient people's judgment is based on the experience of thousands of years of summing up the climate. According to the weather characteristics of the past grain rain, the solar terms of grain rain increase, so it is said that grain rain may rain. Generally speaking, the high-altitude westerly jet in East Asia will weaken and move northward again in the solar term of Valley rain. The warm and humid air mass in South China is more active. The westerly circulation fluctuates more frequently from west to East, and the activities of low pressure and Jianghuai cyclone increase gradually. Affected by it, there will be continuous rain or heavy storm in Jianghuai area.
According to the 24 solar terms, Gu Yu is the last solar term in spring. In late spring, Gu Yu means that spring will end and summer will come. There is less cold air invasion to the south, but the cold air activities affecting the north will not stop. From the end of April to the beginning of May, after all, the temperature is much higher than that in March, the soil is dry and loose; the air layer is unstable, and the upper level of the wind moves down, and the frontal cyclones are active. The wind and dust weather caused by them are common.

People who can drink tea know, 'eat good tea. Before the rain, pick the sprouts. When it's clear, you can see buds. When it's raining, you can see tea. The real good tea comes from the season of raining. It's very delicious.
Yellow bean sprouts
Soybean contains trypsin inhibitor and more phytic acid, which affects the absorption and utilization of nutrients. In the process of soybean germination, trypsin inhibitors were mostly destroyed. At the same time, the protein contained in soybean was decomposed into soluble peptides and amino acids, which not only increased the freshness of bean sprouts, but also increased the utilization rate of protein in bean sprouts by at least 10% compared with soybean. Soybean sprouts also contain an interferon inducer, which can induce interferon and interfere with virus metabolism. People are more likely to have virus cold and other miscellaneous diseases in spring, so eating soybean sprouts in spring can also enhance the human body's ability to resist virus infection.
