The traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar divide a year into 24 solar terms.[1] Gǔyǔ is the 6th solar term. It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 30° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 45°. It more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 30°. In the Gregorian calendar, it usually begins around April 20 and ends around May 5.
Pentads
Each solar term can be divided into 3 pentads (候). They are: first pentad (初候), second pentad (次候) and last pentad (末候). Pentads in Guyu include:
China
- First pentad: 萍始生, 'Duckweed begins to sprout'.[2]
- Second pentad: 鳴鳩拂其羽, 'Cuckoo shakes off wings'.[2]
- Last pentad: 戴勝降于桑, 'Hoopoe perches in mulberry trees'.[2]
Japan
- First pentad: Ashi hajimete shōzu (葭始生), 'Reed begins to bud'.[3]
- Second pentad: Shimo yamite nae izuru (霜止出苗), 'Frost ends and rice seedlings to grow'.[3]
- Last pentad: Botan hanasaku (牡丹華), 'Peony blooms'.[3]
