Two years ago, I posted the first blog in my blog, its named "Rainy Days", and two years later, Beijing rainning again. The sky is gray and the weather is cool, I like it, because it feels lonely and I like lonely.
In Chinese has an old saying: Spring rain is more precious than oil. It's spring now, so the rain must be important for farmers, it foretold this year is a harvest year in the Autumn.
In past time, Beijing was a lack water city, so rain is a valued resources. The emperors visited the Temple of Heaven every year, they asked god for rain and good harvest. Spring and summer, people put water urn in their quadrangle that catching or collecting the rainwater.
Today, Beijing changed to a modern city, there is no farm and farmers. But modern city need trees and green plants, so rain is also very important. But Beijing lacks water too, there blow sandstorm in Spring, last week the wind brought a lot of sand yet.
Yeah, today is rainny, so tomorrow must be a good weather.
