Chinese people call this solar term the Grain Rain because it is known for “rain” that helps the crops(庄稼) grow. From its name, we can know it means a time of more rain. So if you go out during the Grain Rain, you may need to bring an umbrella with you. But it is a great time to plant grains. If you miss the time for planting during the Grain Rain, you will feel sorry later. So maybe you can try to plant some flowers or vegetables in your garden.
