What do you mean, no rain?

The literal meaning of this agricultural proverb is that if it doesn't rain on the day of solar terms, the yield of summer grain harvest season will not be high. When farmers have no food, they will go to the mountains to peel bark to satisfy their hunger.

There are many similar agricultural proverbs among the people, such as "starve to death if it doesn't rain this year", which means that if it doesn't rain during the solar terms, the grain harvest will be poor this year, and farmers in some places will starve to death because there is no food to eat.

In addition, there are some sayings, such as "When spring thunder rings, farmers are busy", "When spring thunder rings, it rains and thunders, and wheat fields are like hills", and "When thunder rings, Gu Mi is cheap". Judging from these agricultural proverbs handed down from the ancients, farmers are looking forward to the rain in spring or the thunder that day.
