Goodbye to the cold spring! After the grain rain and no cold day is coming!

Spring rain surprise spring clear valley day, summer mang summer connected. Autumn dew autumn cold frost, winter snow snow winter small cold.

At 21:59 on April 19, we will have grain rain. Grain rain is the sixth solar term of the 24 solar terms in China, between April 19 and 21 in the Gregorian calendar every year. Grain rain is also the last smile of spring, the last solar term of spring. After the grain rain, there is no cold, and the fragrance of the world is warm.

Grain rain is a solar term reflecting the phenomenon of precipitation, and it is the reflection of ancient farming culture to the season. The grain rain itself is taken from the meaning of "rain born hundred grains", which means abundant rain, moistening all things, living hundred grains, helping spring farming. At this time, the precipitation increased significantly, the seedlings in the field for the first time, new crops, the most need of rain moisture, rainfall is sufficient and timely, cereal crops can thrive.

In ancient times, there was the custom of "walking grain rain". On this day, people walked villages and relatives, walked in the wild, integrated with nature, and kept fit. It is said that drinking tea on this day of grain rain will clear fire, ward off evil spirits, bright eyes, etc., so there is the custom of grain rain picking tea in the south. According to Huainan Zi, Cang Jie succeeded in creating characters, and Huangdi issued an edict in late spring and early summer, and called on the people of the world to practice it. Because of Cang Jie's character making merit and sense of heaven, the Jade Emperor also gave the world a grain rain to comfort the holy merit. The folk tradition of offering sacrifices to Cang Jie, the ancestor of Wen Dynasty, has spread for thousands of years since the Han Dynasty, namely "Guyu offering to Cang Jie".

In the Collection of the seventy-second Hou of the Lunar Season, he said: "In the middle of March, after the rain, the soil paste pulsates, and now it rains its valley in the water... Cover the valley at this time to sow, top-down also ", hence the name. The earth loosens, the buds are relaxed, the breeze drizzles, and the flowers compete. Rain moistens all things, it is grain rain that hides a season of surprises for this spring. Ancient Chinese people divided grain rain into three seasons: "the first waiting for duckweed; Two waiting for the doves to brush its feathers; In the third Hou, Shengsheng will descend to Sang." The meaning of the three hou transmission is that the rainfall increases after the grain rain, the duckweed begins to grow, and then the cuckoo sounds, and the fields echo with its call of "every family plants the valley", reminding people not to forget to sow. The mulberry tree began to see Dai Sheng bird, is a signal that the baby silkworm will grow.

Three seasons of Grain rain, from the Chinese classics, conveyed three inspirations.

1. Whatever you do, do it according to the weather. Throughout the ages, the north and south of the Yangtze River, engaged in agriculture and mulberry must conform to the climate, sowing in time. Duckweed, cuckoo, Dai sheng and sang are all natural phenomena that appear in accordance with the time of day. There is a saying in the Tao Te Ching, "When the good is moving". Remind us that when we do anything, we must conform to the weather and grasp the right time. Before Zhuge Liang came out of the cottage, he once said: "Happy cultivation in Longmu Xi, I love our cottage." I will wait for the day when I am proud of my music." If all things want to grow, they must conform to the laws of nature. If a person wants to become a great force, he must also conform to the weather, the weather, the geographical place, and the people.

"Su Shu" said in the book, the virtuous gentleman, hidden in holding the way, waiting for the time, if the time to go, you can be very people minister position; When you act, you can do a great job. The wise man and gentleman, mastering the law of prosperity and decline, success and failure, and chaos, has the wisdom of understanding, and he clearly understands that those who achieve great things must wait for the opportunity. When the weather is freezing, even the ancient god of agriculture, Hou Ji, will not go to sow, sowing must wait until spring. This is the law between heaven and earth, and it is also the mind's way to achieve great things. Therefore, virtuous men and gentlemen, are hidden to hold the road, waiting for the time, if the time is a convenient line, take advantage of the situation, horizontal and horizontal, and finally have a lofty status, to establish immortal merit. This is, when you walk, you can be very man minister position; When you act, you can do a great job.

2. Always cherish the moment

Zhuangzi said: "Life between heaven and earth, if the blink of an eye, suddenly." Perhaps, yesterday we just lamented the spring has come, but today has come to the grain rain. Rain born hundred grain summer is coming, unknowingly to late spring. In the clouds of catkins flying, we feel that time flies, a quarter of this year has passed in a flash. Time waits for no one, and when we are not aware of it, it flows like still water, never stopping. Mr. Yang Ming said, "Only this kind of mind is common in... What is the use of thinking about the past and the future? Rest assured!" What good is it to think of the things that have passed, and those that are yet to come? This kind of crazy thinking can only lose the Qingming heart in vain. To be happy, one must have the wisdom to live in the moment. Wisdom is, as long as the mind is always maintained, the state of conscience is restored.

Mr. Yang Ming once wrote such a poem: hunger to eat, tired to sleep, only this practice more metaphysical. They say they don't believe in the world, but they look for gods from outside. In simple terms, it is to eat when it is time to eat, sleep when it is time to sleep, live in the present moment, focus on the things in front of you, practice your mind on things, and don't think. If we think about sleeping when we eat, and eating when we sleep, the heart is busy, but we have lost sight, and there is no preservation of the heart, which is "wandering". We feel the past, worry about the future, without a moment to feel the present state of inner clarity, how can we truly obtain inner joy? Therefore, living in the present is a kind of wisdom, but also a kind of ability. And that power, if you want it, you can get it.

3.Study hard when you see small things.

During the grain rain season, duckweed is born, cuckoo is called, and Dai Sheng falls mulberry, which are the signals of farming and mulberry species. Nature sends us signals, and when we see the slightest signs, we can predict the direction of things. This is the ability to see things. Tangible, visible signals that many people can probably pick up through experience. But what about invisible, invisible signals? Invisible, invisible signals are the moments when our hearts stir. It has been said that private intentions sprout, clear their own heart knows, but it is not gone. Mr. Yang Ming said that when the idea comes out, we know that the idea is not good, that is our "lifeblood", and that is the time to kill it immediately. Prevent in the first, gram in the Fang meng. In this way, it is the kung fu of "beware of fear", and it is also the root of our lives.
