jīn rì今日gǔ yǔ谷雨：chūn tiān春天de的zuì hòu最后yí gè一个jié qì节气
On April 20, we welcomed the solar term called "Grain Rain."
It is the sixth of the 24 solar terms, and also the last solar term of spring.
The meaning of "Grain Rain" is "rain brings growth to all grains."
At this time, rainfall begins to increase, and the temperature slowly rises.
Enough rain helps crops in the fields grow faster, so this solar term is very important for agricultural production.
In nature, you can see green duckweed growing on the water, and you can also hear cuckoos calling in the woods.
All these changes are telling us: spring is ending, and summer is coming soon.
At this time of year, staying healthy is very important.
Because there is more rain and the air is humid, traditional Chinese medicine believes we should pay attention to protecting the spleen and stomach.
Everyone can eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, such as black beans, coix seeds, or Chinese yam.
In addition, during Grain Rain, many flowers are in bloom, so people who are prone to allergies should wear a mask and glasses when going out to protect their respiratory tract.
For exercise, experts recommend choosing gentle activities, such as brisk walking, jogging, or practicing tai chi.
One thing to note is that you should not sweat too much during exercise, and you should remember to drink water in time, as this is best for your body.
In many places, people also have the custom of drinking "Grain Rain tea."
The new tea picked around Grain Rain is bright green in color and tastes very fresh and fragrant.
People believe that drinking tea at this time can clear heat, refresh the mind, and help keep the body healthy.
Grain Rain is a farewell to spring.
Let us begin the next beautiful season together, with the gentle fragrance of tea.
