       我喜欢雨，无论什么季节的雨，我都喜欢。她给我的形象和记忆，永远是美的。

       春天，树叶开始闪出黄青，花苞轻轻地在风中摆动，似乎还带着一种冬天的昏黄。可是只要经过一场春雨的洗淋，那种颜色和神态是难以想象的。每一棵树仿佛都睁开特别明亮的眼睛，树枝的手臂也顿时柔软了，而那萌发的叶子，简直就像起伏着一层绿茵茵的波浪。水珠子从花苞里滴下来，比少女的眼泪还娇媚。半空中似乎总挂着透明的水雾的丝帘，牵动着阳光的彩棱镜。这时，整个大地是美丽的。小草似乎像复苏的蚯蚓一样翻动，发出一种春天才能听到的沙沙声。呼吸变得畅快，空气里像有无数芳甜的果子，在诱惑着鼻子和嘴唇。真的，只有这一场雨，才完全驱走了冬天，才使世界改变了姿容。

       ……

       当田野上染上一层金黄，各种各样的果实摇着铃铛的时候，雨，似乎也像出嫁生了孩子的妇人，显得端庄而又沉静了。这时候，雨不大出门。田野上几乎总是金黄的太阳。也许，人们都忘记了雨。成熟的庄稼地等待收割，金灿灿的种子需要晒干，甚至红透了的山果也希望最后的晒甜。忽然，在一个夜晚，窗玻璃上发出了响声，那是雨，是使人静谧、使人怀想、使人动情的秋雨啊！天空是暗的，但雨却闪着光；田野是静的，但雨在倾诉着。顿时，你会产生一脉悠远的情思。也许，在人们劳累了一个春夏，收获已经在大门口的时候，多么需要安静和沉思啊！雨变得更轻，也更深情了，水声在屋檐下，水花在窗玻璃上，会陪伴着你的夜梦。如果你怀着那种快乐感的话，那白天的秋雨也不会使人厌烦。你只会感到更高邈、深远，并让凄冷的雨滴，去纯净你的灵魂，而且一定会遥望到在一场秋雨后将出现一个更净美、开阔的大地。

       也许，到冬天来临，人们会讨厌雨吧！但这时候，雨已经化了妆，它经常变成美丽的雪花，飘然莅临人间。但在南国，雨仍然偶而造访大地，但它变得更吝啬了。它既不倾盆瓢泼，又不绵绵如丝，或淅淅沥沥，它显出一种自然、平静。在冬日灰蒙蒙的天空中，雨变得透明，甚至有些干巴，几乎没有春、夏、秋那样富有色彩。但是，在人们受够了冷冽的风的刺激，讨厌那干涩而苦的气息，当雨在头顶上飘落的时候，似乎又降临了一种特殊的温暖，仿佛从那湿润中又漾出花和树叶的气息。那种清冷是柔和的，没有北风那样咄咄逼人。远远地望过去，收割过的田野变得很亮，没有叶的枝干、淋着雨的草垛，对着瓷色的天空，像一幅干净利落的木刻。而近处池畦里的油菜，经这冬雨一洗，甚至忘记了严冬。忽然到了晚间，水银柱降下来，黎明提前敲着窗户，你睁眼一看，屋顶，树枝，街道，都已经盖上柔软的雪被，地上的光亮比天上还亮。这雨的精灵，雨的公主，给南国城市和田野带来异常的蜜情，是它送给人们一年中最后的一份礼物。

       啊，雨，我爱恋的雨啊，你一年四季常在我的眼前流动，你给我的生命带来活跃，你给我的感情带来滋润，你给我的思想带来流动。只有在雨中，我才真正感到这世界是活的，是有欢乐和泪水的。但在北方干燥的城市，我们的相逢是多么稀少！只希望日益增多的绿色，能把你请回我们的生活之中。

       啊，总是美丽而使人爱恋的雨啊！

    China has more than 30 intangible cultural heritage recognized by the UNESCO, including paper-cutting, the Dragon Boat Festival, Peking Opera, acupuncture(针灸)and so on. The organization adopted a decision that China's “The Twenty-Four Solar Terms” (二十四节气)should be put on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2016 in Ethiopia.

    The Twenty-Four Solar Terms, knowledge of time and practices in agriculture, starts from the Beginning of Spring and ends with the Greater Cold, moving in cycles. It developed through the observation of the sun's annual movement in China. In ancient time, the method of tugui, earth sundial(日暑), was used to measure the shadow of the sun for determining the solar terms.

    The Twenty-Four Solar Terms came into being and developed in close relationship with Chinese agricultural production. At the initial stage of agricultural development, people began to explore the seasonal rules in the agricultural production to meet the needs in seeding, harvesting and other activities. Gradually, they formed the concept of “seed in spring, grow in summer, harvest in autumn and store in winter”. During the spring and autumn periods, the agricultural production was highly influenced by the seasonal changes, thus forming the concept of Solar Terms.

    As a traditional Chinese knowledge system of time with a history of thousands of years, the Twenty-Four Solar Terms clearly expresses the concepts of respect for nature, and harmony between man and nature. Created by Chinese ancestors, it have functioned as a complete set of weather calendar(日历)to guide the agricultural production in China. It has also been introduced into North Korea, Japan and other neighboring countries and still used in Japan. The Chinese heritage has provably influenced the people's way of thinking and behaving and will continue to be an important carrier of Chinese cultural identity.
