谷雨，二十四节气中的第六个节气，也是春季的最后一个节气。在传统农耕文化中，谷雨节气将“谷”和“雨”联系起来，表示降水状况和“雨生百谷”。此时节，柳絮飞落、杜鹃夜啼、牡丹吐蕊、樱桃红熟，正是万物生长的最佳时节。

In southern China, people traditionally drink tea on the day of Grain Rain. Spring tea during Grain Rain is rich in vitamins and amino acids (氨基酸), which can help to remove heat from the body and is good for the eyes. Drinking tea on this day is also said to prevent bad luck. People in northern China traditionally eat Chinese toon (香椿), a leafy vegetable native to eastern and southeastern Asia, during Grain Rain. An old Chinese saying goes “Chinese toon before the rain is as tender as silk.” The vegetable is nutritious and can help to strengthen the immune system. It is also good for the stomach and skin.

The Grain Rain Festival is celebrated in fishing villages across the coastal areas of northern China. Grain Rain marks the start of the fishermen’s first voyage of the year. The custom dates back more than 2,000 years, when people believed they owed a good yield to the gods, who protected them from stormy seas. People would worship the sea and make sacrifices during the Grain Rain Festival, praying for a good harvest and the safe return of loved ones.
谷雨节在中国北方沿海地区的渔村举行。谷雨标志着渔民们一年中第一次航海的开始。这一习俗可以追溯到2000多年前，当时人们认为他们应该向上帝致敬，因为上帝保护他们免受惊涛骇浪的侵袭。在谷雨节期间，人们会祭拜大海并做出牺牲，祈祷丰收和亲人平安归来。
Guyu also sees the bloom of the peony (牡丹), which is known as the “Queen of All Flowers” in Chinese culture. As a result, many people go out to admire the local peonies. In Shandong, Henan and Sichuan, there are even festivals to appreciate the beauty of the peony when Guyu falls.
