谷雨是二十四节气中的第六个节气,也是春季的最后一个节气,通常在每年公历4月19-21日交节,此时太阳到达黄经30度。谷雨的名称源于古代"雨生百谷"的农业观念,反映了这一时期降水对于农作物生长的重要性。《月令七十二候集解》中说:"三月中,自雨水后,土膏脉动,今又雨其谷于水也。盖谷以此时播种,自上而下也。"意思是说,谷雨时节降雨明显增多,初插的秧苗、新种的庄稼最需要雨水的滋润,正所谓"春雨贵如油",谷雨时节的雨水对农业生产至关重要。谷雨过后,气温继续回升,降水进一步增多,春季接近尾声,夏天的脚步越来越近,标志着暮春时节的到来和即将进入初夏的过渡期。

Grain Rain (Guyu) is the sixth solar term among the 24 solar terms and the last solar term of spring, usually occurring around April 19-21 when the sun reaches 30 degrees celestial longitude. The name "Grain Rain" originates from the ancient agricultural concept of "rain nourishes hundred grains," reflecting the importance of precipitation during this period for crop growth. The "Collected Explanations of the Seventy-Two Pentads" states: "In mid-third month, after Rain Water, earth's essence pulses, now rain moistens grains in water. Grains are sown during this time, from above downward." This means that rainfall significantly increases during Grain Rain, newly transplanted seedlings and newly planted crops most need rain's nourishment - truly embodying "spring rain precious as oil," making Grain Rain rainfall crucial for agricultural production. After Grain Rain, temperatures continue rising, precipitation further increases, spring nears its end, and summer's footsteps grow closer, marking the arrival of late spring and the transition toward early summer.
