The vegetation in the north has sprouted and turned green, and the land in the south has been covered with green clothes. Our country's agricultural proverb says: "Planting trees for afforestation is nothing more than Qingming" and "Before and after Qingming, plant melons and beans". The first day of this anger was Tomb-Sweeping Day, and there was a custom of going for an outing to sweep graves.

6. Grain Rain: In Grain Rain, the temperature and ground temperature have risen steadily, and the rain has increased, which is beneficial to the growth of five grains. Therefore, there is a saying that "rain gives birth to a hundred grains".

19. beginning of winter: It's a solar term that starts in winter, when the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River are about to freeze.

2. Xiaoxue: "The seventy-two episodes of the Moon Order": "In mid-October, it rains and the air conditioning is thin, so it condenses into snow, and the little ones are not full." At this time, it began to snow like the Yellow River Basin.
