What is the saying that it rains on the first day of May?
An agricultural proverb says that "the first move in May is first-class, and the big ship bends to the end". This often indicates heavy rain, and usually large ships are in the depths of rivers, lakes and seas. It's all here now. It seems that the rain has soared and reached the doorstep, indicating that there will be plenty of rain in May.
The proverb says, "It rains on the first day of May, and boating on the Dragon Boat Festival will last until the end of the month". On the first day of the fifth lunar month, people are going to start the dragon boat and start boating on the river. If it happens to rain that day, there will be plenty of water for boating, and everyone can row until the end of May.
As the proverb goes, "When the first day of May leaks, the sesame seeds and soybeans reap." It just shows that there is little rain and drought in the dog days, but sesame and soybean are drought-tolerant, and it is a good harvest when it comes to autumn harvest.
