Based on the movement of the sun, ancient Chinese people invented 24 Solar terms (节气), each lasting around two weeks. Among them, "Rain Water" is the second term, falling around February 18th or 20th. When "Rain Water" arrives, it brings life to all things. Light rain begins to feed the earth; waking up everything from its winter sleep. The ground temperature gradually rises as the rain falls, and the weather becomes quite wet in the following days. This is a wonderful time for nature. Birds migrate (迁徙) back to the north, ducks float on the water, and plants grow new buds(发芽). The seasonal calendar acts as a calendar for farmers, guiding them on when to plant seeds for the best harvest(收获). After a cold and dark winter, "Rain-Water" tells the farmers that it's the perfect time to start planting. There's a beautiful poem by the famous Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu that perfectly describe the "Rain Water" ( Happy Rain on a Spring Night Good rain knows its time right, O'er wild lanes dark cloud spreads, It will fall when comes spring. In boat a lantern looms. With wind it steals in night, Dawn sees saturated reds; Mute, it moistens each thing. The town's heavy with blooms. ) Through this poem, Du Fu expresses his deep love and admiration (钦佩) for the spring rain that brings life and hope to the earth. Just like the rain, he hopes that life can be gentle, beautiful, and full of new beginnings for everyone. ( )19. When does "Rain Water" most probably fall on? A. January 18th B. February 19th C.
