雨水节气 / Yushui Solar Term

雨水是二十四节气中的第二个节气,通常在每年公历2月18-20日交节,此时太阳到达黄经330度。雨水节气标志着降雨开始,雨量渐增。与谷雨、小满、小雪、大雪等节气一样,雨水是反映降水现象的节气,是古代农耕文化对于季节变化的反映。雨水时节,气温回升、冰雪融化、降水增多,故取名为雨水。雨水不仅表示降雨的开始,也表明雨量开始增多。随着雨水节气的到来,雪花纷飞、冷气浸骨的天气渐渐消失,而春风拂面、冰雪融化、湿润的空气、温和的阳光和潇潇细雨的日子正向我们走来。

Rain Water (Yushui) is the second of the 24 solar terms, occurring around February 18-20 when the sun reaches 330 degrees celestial longitude. Like Grain Rain, Grain Buds, Minor Snow, and Major Snow, Rain Water is a solar term that reflects precipitation phenomena, expressing ancient agricultural civilization's observation of seasonal changes. The name signifies not only the beginning of rainfall but also the gradual increase in precipitation amounts. As Rain Water arrives, the weather of falling snowflakes and bone-chilling cold gradually disappears, replaced by spring breezes, melting ice and snow, moist air, gentle sunshine, and the arrival of soft spring rains.
