Dear friends,

With the arrival of spring, we also welcome the Rain Water solar term (Yǔshuǐ), beginning on February 18th to March 4th this year. As the second solar term in the Chinese lunar calendar, Rain Water heralds the awakening of nature with increased rainfall and warmth and also marks a pivotal transition from winter to spring. This solar iterm is rich in customs, from honoring family bonds to seasonal delicacies, reflecting China’s profound harmony with nature.For global community, Rain Water offers a window into China’s agrarian heritage and enduring cultural practices.
As spring unfolds, it invites us all to cherish renewal—both in nature and human connections.
For your smile.
