谷雨源自古人“雨生百谷”之说，每年4月19日～21日，太阳到达黄经30°时即为“谷雨”，正所谓“清明断雪，谷雨断霜”。谷雨节气的到来，意味着寒潮天气基本结束，气温回升加快，有利于谷类农作物的生长。
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”.
When this day comes, the amount of rainfall increases much than the day of “The Rain”, which is very important for the growth of the crops. The temperature in most of the basin areas increases quickly. Apart from the north-west part, most of the basin areas in China reach 20 to 22 degree Celsius.
