“谷雨”是二十四節(jié)氣中的第六個(gè)節(jié)氣,也是春季的最后一個(gè)節(jié)氣,此時(shí)降雨量明顯增加,正好滿足了谷物類農(nóng)作物生長的需要,所以“谷雨”節(jié)氣的英文翻譯為Grain Rain。
1. 谷雨的來歷
“谷雨”這個(gè)名字來源于一個(gè)民間傳說。黃帝時(shí)期,官員倉頡創(chuàng)造書寫漢字時(shí),無數(shù)谷米從天而降,如同下雨一般。因此,皇帝把這天命名為“谷雨”。
The term "Grain Rain" is originated from a folk story. When Cang Jie, an official from the Yellow Emperor period, created writing characters, grain came down from sky like rainfall. Therefore, the Yellow Emperor named this day as the "Grain Rain".
“谷雨”這個(gè)節(jié)氣的名稱來源于俗語“雨生百谷”,由此可以看出,在這段時(shí)間內(nèi)雨水對于莊稼的生長是何等重要。谷雨的到來代表著寒冷天氣的終結(jié)和溫度的攀升。
Grain Rain originates from the old saying, "Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains," which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops. The Grain Rain signals the end of cold weather and a rapid rise in temperature.
2. 谷雨的習(xí)俗
喝谷雨茶
中國南方有個(gè)習(xí)俗:人們要在谷雨當(dāng)天飲茶。谷雨期間的春茶富含維生素和氨基酸,對身體散熱和明目都有幫助。還有一種說法:谷雨喝茶可抵擋厄運(yùn)。
There is an old custom in southern China that people drink tea on the day of Grain Rain. Spring tea during Grain Rain is rich in vitamins and amino acids, which can help to remove heat from the body and is good for the eyes. It is also said that drinking tea on this day would prevent bad luck.
吃香椿
中國北方人有谷雨吃香椿的傳統(tǒng)。俗話說:“雨前椿芽嫩如絲”,這種蔬菜營養(yǎng)豐富,有助于增強(qiáng)免疫系統(tǒng),還有利于健胃護(hù)膚。
People in northern China have the tradition to eat the vegetable toona sinensis during Grain Rain. An old Chinese saying goes "toona sinensis before the rain is as tender as silk". The vegetable is nutritious and can help to strengthen the immune system. It is also good for the stomach and skin.
賞谷雨花
谷雨前后也是牡丹花開的重要時(shí)段,因此牡丹花也被稱為“谷雨花”。至今,山東菏澤、河南洛陽等地都會在谷雨時(shí)節(jié)舉行牡丹花會,供人們觀賞游玩。
Peony flowers bloom around the time of the Grain Rain; so they are also known as "Grain Rain flowers". To this day, peony festivals are held in places such as Heze in Shandong and Luoyang in Henan for people to admire the flowers during the Grain Rain.
