The 24 solar terms, consisting of 12 major solar terms and 12 minor solar terms, were created thousands of years ago by ancient Chinese to guide agricultural production.
Today, the culture provides useful guidance on people's lives as each term features some special food, cultural ceremonies and healthy living tips.
Grain Rain, or "Guyu" in Chinese, a solar term to mark the end of spring, falls on April 20 this year. It is the sixth of the 24 solar terms in the Chinese ancient calendar.
