The south is the hometown of rain, especially in the south of the Yangtze River. During the plum rain season, it rains heavily. Rain, in spring and early summer, is like oil in the countryside. It is the guarantee of a year's livelihood and the nutrients for the growth of crops.
I have seen a lot of rain in the south and experienced a lot. Growing in the south, it can be said that it is accompanied by rain and grows in the rain. The rain in the south is sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce, but most of the time, the rain comes during the 24th solar term of the lunar calendar. At the turning point of the solar term, a rain clears the direction.
In every solar term, the rain in the south represents a kind of hope. During solar terms, people hope for rain and like to listen to, watch and read rain in the rain. Through rain, people plan their work after the solar terms and control the agricultural harvest. In the lunar solar terms, rain is a spirit and a forecast, comparable to auspicious snow heralding a good year.
In spring, when the sunshine is warm and soft, the moist rain spreads silently in the air, moistening the trees, grass, and the earth... All things wake up in the spring rain, absorb the nutrients of the rain, and take root deep in the moist soil. land. Sunlight, rain, dew, soil, life begins to grow.
In summer, rain likes to manifest as thundershowers. In the countryside, we call it easterly rain. When the sun was shining brightly, there was a storm in Tianchou, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, wind and sand rolled over the ground, and a few dry, muffled thunders came from the distant sky. Later, a soul-stirring rumble of thunder exploded in the dry air, and the dark clouds quickly drifted from the horizon to the sky of thunder and lightning. The sparks of lightning pierced the thick dark clouds, and the powerful energy instantly illuminated the blurred fields. The tall trees swayed violently in the wind, making a whirring sound, and their branches swayed like willows; the low plants swayed left and right in the direction of the wind, with their feet clasped against the ground they were standing on. Deafening thunder, guided by zigzag lightning, roars and strikes treetops, electric piles, bamboo forests... At this time, people cannot walk in the wind and rain, otherwise they will be easily injured by lightning. Thunder in summer makes the earth shake and the mountains shake, which makes people feel scared. Sometimes, my heart is blown out of my chest by thunder, and I quickly cover my ears with my hands to adjust my breathing and bring my heart back to its original position. Most of the time, people are still frightened by the thunder, and the raindrops of the soldiers have already reached the dam. quick! Adults and children were shouting, and everyone was rushing to carry the corn, soybeans, rice and other grains that had been drying in the ground dam to their homes regardless of the rain. The rain came so fast. As soon as the food was moved into the house, the rain followed people's heels and started to rain like thunder. Big bubbles splashed on the ground. The dripping water from the eaves soon flowed into lines and dripped on the bluestone slabs. Exploding flowers splash.
In autumn, a rain will announce the arrival of autumn. On the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, nine out of ten years, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a light rain will come. The rain came on time, in a timely manner, in the afternoon at the latest, quietly drifting outside the house. The weather turned from summer to autumn in an instant, and there was a slight chill on my body. After the Mid-Autumn Rain, although the sun is dazzling like summer, it gets colder in the morning and evening, and people know that autumn is coming.
In winter, the rain becomes continuous as soon as it comes. The heavy rain is mixed with light rain, and it rains so hard that the winter sun cannot find its way out. Winter rain brings the most melancholy to people's moods, which can change from happy to sad. We don't know when our wet shoes will be dry. Looking at the continuous rain, farmers are full of joy. They know that the long winter rain is accumulating, accumulating, and waiting for the coming spring.
The rain in the south sometimes lasts for a long time, and the length becomes a kind of time. When people are trapped in the rain, their hearts are as calm as water, and their lives are swaying into worldly mediocrity. The rain in the south is sometimes rapid. Rushing like a meteor flying across the sky, a rainbow after the rain, the sky is fresh and beautiful, and life turns into colorful mottled colors.
The rain in the south travels through the four seasons and through life. It uses its original power and the power of love to wash away the dirt of the mountains and rivers and the stains of life.
Part 2:
The south is a rainy place with many rivers and forks. Because of the rain, the water becomes spiritual and the mountains become more beautiful. And the village with black tiles and white walls looked even more hazy, as if shrouded in a layer of mist. The eldest girl who was punting the boat skillfully held the oar, shook off the rainwater on her bamboo hat, and walked away humming a tune from her hometown. The people here have become accustomed to the sudden showers and have all prepared their rain gear. However, the foreigners were soaked by the rain and looked at the sky with a bit of embarrassment and sighed.
这里的孩子特别爱雨，因为平时要玩水弄脏了衣服，妈妈一定把你痛揍一顿。 But there is a reason not to get wet on rainy days, so I simply throw away my umbrella and chase after my friends in the rain, or wade in a small puddle with bare feet. Finally, I go home and tell my mother with a sad face that I forgot my umbrella at school. If it rains in the middle of the night, and two children going to school meet on the road early in the morning, they will all talk about the power of the rolling mine yesterday.
Sometimes, the rain also likes to joke with you, and will follow you after a burst of rain. When you find shelter from the rain, look outside and see that the rain has stopped. The ground on this side of the bridge was completely wet, but on the other side the sun was shining brightly. Sometimes the sun is so poisonous that it can peel off a person's skin, but at such times, it starts to rain. It really looks like that, but the sun is still shining brightly. No wonder people in my hometown like to say, "White rain falls on a sunny day, and leprous knocks on wooden fish." The true image, that situation of neither sunshine nor rain, is just a leper imitating a monk.
The rain in the south always comes and goes, and it never stops. But the rain won't be too heavy. Therefore, you have to be patient when it rains, otherwise you will get soaked halfway if you don't rush out.
Rainy days are a good time for old people to get together and chat. The uncles and aunts talk about all kinds of things while drinking tea or wearing sweaters. Some of them will even play a hometown drama when they are happy, which makes it very lively.
If you have the opportunity to stay overnight in a farmhouse and listen to the soft rain outside the window at night, the desolation of being a guest in a foreign land will definitely come to your mind. But the farmer’s aunt’s warm and caring words immediately make you feel a sense of warmth. So you quietly listen to the sound of rain outside the house, and begin to miss the silence of this mountain village.
The rain in the south can always make you fall in love with this place inadvertently and quietly.
