Rainwater is the second solar term in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar. If the Beginning of Spring marks the start of the year, then Rainwater signifies the commencement of life itself. During this period, all living things display boundless vitality and potential for growth.
Rainwater signals the rise in temperature and the increase in rainfall, as all things in nature begin to accelerate their growth in this warm embrace, bursting with vitality. Farmers become busy with sowing, their hearts filled with hopes and expectations for a good harvest in the year ahead. Rainwater is the messenger of spring, bringing warmth and life, allowing the earth to awaken with renewed energy.
