Rain Water 雨水

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Rain Water (Chinese: 雨水) this year starts on Feb 19 and ends on Mar¹ 5.

传统的中国农历将一年分为24节气。今年的“雨水”从2月19日开始，至3月5日结束。

 

Rain Water signals the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, lively spring-like scenery starts blossoming²: the river water defreezes, wild geese move from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again.

“雨水”节气的到来预示着降雨增加，气温回升。万物复苏，充满生机；冰面解冻，大雁北飞；绿树萌新芽。
