The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms (节气). Grain Rain, as the last term in spring, starts on April 19 and ends on May 4.

Grain Rain comes from the old saying, “Rain brings the growth of hundreds of grains”, which shows that this period of rainfall is very important for the growth of crops. Here’s something that you may not know about the Grain Rain.

1. Grain Rain falls between the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the temperature rises much higher than it does in March. With dry soil and heavy winds, sandstorms may happen more often.

2. There is an old custom in southern China that people drink tea on the day of Grain Rain. Spring tea during Grain Rain is good for the eyes. It is also said that drinking tea on this day would prevent bad luck.

3. People in northern China have the tradition to eat the vegetable toona sinensis during Grain Rain. An old Chinese saying goes “toona sinensis before the rain is as tender as silk”. The vegetable is good for the stomach and skin.

4. The Grain Rain Festival is celebrated by fishing villages in northern China. Grain Rain

marks the start of the fishermen’s first voyage (航行) of the year. The custom dates back to more than 2,000 years ago.

Improvements in technology often happen overnight. Some gadgets get smaller and faster. Others are replaced by newer things like smartphones. They can do hundreds of things. Here are some old gadgets that people used to use.

Call me

Do you have a landline at home? These are phones that people plug (插入) into their living room walls.

Mobile phones didn’t use to be so common at that time, so most families had a landline. But landlines only worked at home. What did people do when they were outside and needed to call someone? They looked for a pay phone! Then, most people had their own mobile phones and many homes no longer had landlines.

People today store plenty of information online, or on SD cards. But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks (软盘). The first floppy disks were large, expensive, and not very useful—each disk could store just 175 KB of information! Later, floppy disks got smaller and better. But even the best ones could only hold 1.44 MB. You would need three or four disks just for one song, and about 22,000 disks to match the storage (储存空间) available on a 32GB phone!
