Today's Grain Rain is the sixth solar term among the 24 solar terms and the last solar term of spring, usually between April 19th and 21st in the Gregorian calendar. Grain rain is derived from the meaning of "rain produces a hundred grains", which implies that spring rain is abundant, nourishes the five grains, and all things enter a stage of vigorous growth.
