　　中國(guó)農(nóng)歷將一年分為24個(gè)節(jié)氣,。谷雨，作為春天的最后一個(gè)節(jié)氣,，從4月19日開始,，5月4日結(jié)束。

　　Grain Rain originates from the old saying, "Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains," which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops. The Grain Rain signals the end of cold weather and a rapid rise in temperature. Here are five things that you may not know about the Grain Rain.

　　2．沙塵暴肆虐

　　Grain Rain falls between the end of spring and the beginning of summer, with infrequent cold air moving to the south and lingering cold air in the north.
