The traditional East Asian calendars divide a year into 24 solar terms (節氣). Gǔyǔ (pīnyīn) or Kokuu (rōmaji) (Traditional Chinese: 穀雨; Simplified Chinese: 谷雨; Japanese: 穀雨; Korean: 곡우; Vietnamese: Cốc vũ; literally: "grain rain") is 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 Gregorian calendar, it usually begins around April 20 and ends around May 5.
