There are 24 solar terms （节气） in China，and the Grain Rain（谷雨） is one of them．It falls on April 19 this year．
This solar term is called the Grain Rain because it is known for"rain"that helps the grain grow．From its name，we can guess it means a time of more rain．So if you go out in the next two weeks，you may need to bring an umbrella with you．
But this is a great time for planting crops．If you miss the time for planting during the Grain Rain，you will feel sorry later．So maybe you can try to plant some flowers or vegetables in your garden．When the spring rain falls，farmers begin to grow crops （庄稼）．Farmers often say，"Spring rain is as precious （珍贵的） as oil．"It brings farmers hope for a good year ahead．
There are also many interesting customs during the Grain Rain．In the northern part of China，people like to eat Chinese toon （椿芽） mixed with eggs．The food made during the Grain Rain tastes wonderful and is good for your stomach．In the southern part of China，the tea leaves are picked during the time．They are called Grain Rain tea，which is famous for its freshness and sweet smell．

Recently，Chongqing Three Gorges University has held an activity named"Cell Phone Ninja"（手机忍者）．They would like their students not to use cell phones for 21days．It is really a challenge （挑战） for most students．
The activity started on April 12．Each student who volunteered to take part in this activity got a bracelet （手环）．If the students did not use their cell phones，there would be a photo on the screen of the bracelet to show that．If they used their cell phones，a different photo would appear on the screen of the bracelet．After the last class of each day，the students sent the photos to the school's public WeChat．
More than 800students wished to take part in this test，and 400were chosen．After seven days，only 103students remained．The test was set for 21days because some scientists believe that 21days is long enough to help form （形成） a habit．
According to the teachers in the university，the activity was not a competition．It depended on students themselves to make the decision．The teachers hoped their students could form better study habits through activities like this one．
