Radical 08-1 雨Yǔ, rain


Radical 08-1 , rain

Watch the rain ! The splendor of a drop of water help us relax !!! "









How many times have you watched the rain fall. More often than you can remember! But how often have you stopped to carefully observe those tiny drops of water, or follow the paths they take on a window: a moment of meditation, of silence, and of enchantment.


The ancient form of the character
carved onto tortoise shells or ox bones甲骨文 Jiǎgǔwén is made up of a horizontal line which represents the sky and of six vertical lines which symbolise the drops of rain. To give the idea of the verb to rain the ideogram Xia, underneath, objects underneath:  下雨Xià yǔ to rain (rainfall)


下雨天Xià yǔtiān  rainy

滴水Dī shuǐ are known in Chinese architecture as the "Pearls Hanging", the particular roof tiles located in the edges of the roof. On rainy days the raindrops are restored in these structures and then fall down by forming long rows of pearls, creating an imaginary picture in the rainy days !
