雨水/Rain Water🌦
耕作/To cultivate
Rain Water(雨水) literally means rain drops. As the temperature rises after 立春 (the beginning of Spring), the snow melts into water and the land becomes fertile again. Farmers look forward to the day of Rain Water as it marks the start of a new harvest year.
立春之後氣溫上升，雪水融化能滋養農田。農民總是期待「雨水」節氣的到來，因為這代表新的一年豐收的開始。
People used to say if it rains continuously on the day of Rain Water, it’s going to be a good harvest year without much farming efforts. So if you dislike rainy days, this is the one day in the year that you should pray for rain instead!
俗語說「雨水連綿是豐年，農夫不用力耕田」。「雨水」這一天若下雨，就代表今年會有好收成。所以，如果你不喜歡下雨天，至少「雨水」是一年之中最應該要期待有降雨的一天！
