如诗一样的“谷雨”！关于传统文化，高考怎么考？

如诗一样的“谷雨”！关于传统文化，高考怎么考？

今天是24节气中的谷雨。众所周知，清明过后就是谷雨，作为春季的最后一个节气，用英语怎么表达呢，一起来了解吧~

节气

谷雨

谷雨的英文名为“Grain Rain”，其中grain有谷物、粮食之意，rain为雨水。此外谷雨也称为“第六节气”，英文名为“6th solar term”，6th 即sixth，译为第六；solar term是固定词组，译为节气。偶尔也有人把节气翻译为“solar period”，因为period和term都有时期之意。

谷雨，二十四节气之第六个节气，也是春季的最后一个节气。此时降水明显增加，满足了谷物生长的需要。

正所谓“春雨贵如油”

Grain Rain is the sixth solar term of the 24 solar terms and the last solar term in spring. At this time, precipitation increases significantly to meet the needs of grain growth. It is called "The spring rain is as precious as oil".

清明断雪

谷雨断霜

GRAIN RAIN

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。

Guyu was originated from the ancient version "raingerminate all grains", every April 19th to 21st, the sun reaches 30degrees in longitude is Guyu, it is the so-called "Qingming off the snow,Guyu off the frost". When the Guyu is coming, it means that the coldweather has basically ended, the temperature rises faster, which is benefit forthe growth of cereal crops.

谷雨

与造字相关

仓颉造字是中国远古时代的民间传说。汉字产生以前，中国曾有用实物记事的阶段，结绳和刻契是其中的重要手段。传说黄帝时史官仓颉观鸟兽之迹而造汉字，其事迹见《荀子》、《韩非子》、《吕氏春秋》等著作。

Cang Jie Creating Chinese Characters is an ancient Chinese folk legend. Before the invention of Chinese characters, there was a time when the Chinese used real objects to keep records. Tying knots and carving marks were two major methods. Legend has it that Cang Jie, a government historian in the period of the Yellow Emperor, created Chinese characters after observing the footprints of birds and animals. This story is recorded in Xunzi, Hen Feizi, and Lüshi Chunqiu.

对于谷雨的由来，大家较为熟知和认可的是，它来源于一个民间传说。传说黄帝时期，官员仓颉创造文字时，无数谷米从天而降，如同下雨一般。因此，黄帝把这天命名为“谷雨”。

The Chinese name of Grain Rain was originated from a folk story. When Cang Jie, an official in the Yellow Emperor period, created characters, countless grain came down from the sky like rainfall. Therefore, the Yellow Emperor named this day as “Gu Yu”.

 - 赏牡丹 -

Appreciate Peony

谷雨前后也是牡丹花开的重要时段，因此牡丹花也被称为“谷雨花”。至今，山东菏泽、河南洛阳等地都会在谷雨时节举行牡丹花会，供人们观赏游玩。

Peony flowers bloom around the time of the Grain Rain; so they are also known as “Grain Rain flowers”. To this day, peony festivals are held in places such as Heze in Shandong and Luoyang in Henan for people to admire the flowers during the Grain Rain.

 - 喝谷雨茶 -

Drink Grain Rain tea

福建茶农认为，真正的谷雨茶就是谷雨这天采的新鲜茶叶制成的茶。茶农们相信：谷雨茶香气清新，而且能清火、辟邪、明目。所以谷雨这天不管是什么天气，福建茶农都会采摘一些新茶回来喝。

Tea farmers in Fujian believe that authentic Grain Rain tea is made from fresh tea leaves picked on the Grain Rain day. The tea farmers believe that Grain Rain tea has a fresh aroma and can clear body heat, ward off evil spirits and improve eyesight. So no matter what the weather is like on Grain Rain, Fujian tea farmers will always pick some fresh tea leaves and make tea.
