At the A1 level, you should know that 雨水 (yǔshuǐ) means 'rainwater'. It is made of two characters you likely already know: (rain) and (water). At this stage, you only need to use it to describe the physical water you see. For example, if you see water on the ground after it rains, you can call it 雨水. You might say '我喜欢雨水' (I like rainwater) or '雨水很多' (There is a lot of rainwater). Don't worry about the complicated meanings like the solar term yet. Just remember it as a noun for the liquid that falls from the sky. It is different from the verb '下雨' (to rain). If you want to say 'It is raining', use '下雨'. If you want to talk about the water itself, use 雨水. This distinction is important for building a good foundation in Chinese grammar.
For A2 learners, 雨水 (yǔshuǐ) becomes useful for describing the weather and the environment. You can use it to talk about the amount of rain in a city. For example, '北京的雨水不多' (Beijing doesn't have much rainwater/rainfall). You can also use it to describe things getting wet. '我的衣服被雨水弄湿了' (My clothes were made wet by the rainwater). At this level, you should also be aware that 雨水 is often used in compound words like '雨水管' (rain pipe). You are starting to see it in more natural contexts, like weather reports on the radio. Remember that it's a noun, so you can't use it as an action. You are also starting to learn about the 'Sponge City' concept in China, where managing 雨水 is very important for the environment.
At the B1 level, you should be comfortable using 雨水 (yǔshuǐ) in more complex sentences and understanding its cultural significance. You should learn about the 24 Solar Terms (二十四节气). 雨水 is the second one, occurring in mid-February. It marks the end of winter and the start of the rainy season, which is crucial for farmers. You might see sentences like '雨水节气到了,春天就不远了' (The Yushui solar term has arrived, so spring is not far away). You can also use it to discuss environmental issues, such as '收集雨水可以节约自来水' (Collecting rainwater can save tap water). Your vocabulary is expanding to include related terms like '降水' (precipitation), and you should understand that 雨水 is slightly less formal than '降水' but more specific than just '雨'.
At the B2 level, you are expected to use 雨水 (yǔshuǐ) in professional and literary contexts. You should understand phrases like '雨水充沛' (abundant rainfall) and use them in essays about geography or climate change. You should also be able to distinguish between '雨水' and '降雨' (rainfall event). For example, in a report, you might write: '由于强降雨,该地区的雨水排放系统面临巨大压力' (Due to heavy rainfall events, the region's rainwater drainage system is under great pressure). You should also be familiar with idioms like '风调雨顺' (favorable weather for crops) and understand how 雨水 symbolizes life and prosperity in Chinese culture. At this level, you can appreciate the nuance of how the word is used in poetry to create mood or symbolize the passing of time.
As a C1 learner, you should have a deep understanding of the historical and scientific nuances of 雨水 (yǔshuǐ). You should be able to discuss the 'Rainwater' solar term in detail, including the traditional customs and the 'three phases' (三候) associated with it (e.g., otters sacrificing fish, wild geese flying north). You can use the word in sophisticated discussions about urban hydrology, sustainable architecture, and the 'Sponge City' initiative. You should be able to analyze how 雨水 is used in modern literature to evoke specific emotions or to contrast with the 'urban' and 'artificial'. Your usage should be precise, distinguishing between 'runoff' (径流), 'infiltration' (渗透), and 'precipitation' (降水) while using 雨水 as the core concept for the water itself. You should also be able to interpret classical texts where 雨水 might have metaphorical meanings related to the Emperor's grace or the nourishment of the people.
At the C2 level, your mastery of 雨水 (yǔshuǐ) is near-native. You can effortlessly switch between its scientific, agricultural, and poetic registers. You can engage in high-level debates about the impact of climate change on the '雨水' solar term's accuracy in modern times. You can provide detailed etymological explanations of the characters and their evolution. You are able to use 雨水 in creative writing to create complex imagery, perhaps personifying the rainwater as a witness to historical changes. You understand the most obscure idioms and literary references involving the word. You can also explain the technical differences in 'rainwater quality' (雨水水质) and the legal frameworks surrounding 'rainwater rights' in different jurisdictions. Your understanding is not just linguistic, but deeply cultural and multidisciplinary.

雨水 در ۳۰ ثانیه

  • 雨水 (yǔshuǐ) primarily means 'rainwater' or 'rainfall' as a noun.
  • It is also the 2nd solar term (starting around Feb 19) signaling spring.
  • Distinguish from '下雨' (verb) and '降水' (formal technical term).
  • Culturally, it represents nourishment, renewal, and the start of the farming season.

The term 雨水 (yǔshuǐ) is a fundamental noun in the Chinese language that translates literally to 'rainwater' or 'rainfall'. While on the surface it simply refers to the water that falls from the sky during a rain event, its usage spans across environmental science, daily conversation, classical literature, and ancient agricultural calendars. In a general sense, you use 雨水 when you are referring to the water itself as a substance or the cumulative amount of rain that has fallen over a specific period. For example, if you are talking about collecting water for a garden, you are talking about 雨水. If you are discussing the climate of a region and noting that it has high annual precipitation, you are also discussing 雨水.

Physical Substance
In this context, it refers to the actual liquid. You might say the 雨水 is very clean today, or that the 雨水 has soaked through your shoes. It is the physical manifestation of the weather phenomenon.
Meteorological Data
Meteorologists use 雨水 to describe the volume of precipitation. Terms like '雨水充沛' (yǔshuǐ chōngpèi - abundant rainfall) are common in weather reports and geographical descriptions of tropical or temperate zones.
The Solar Term
Crucially, 雨水 is also the name of the 2nd solar term (节气) in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar. It usually begins around February 18th or 19th and ends around March 5th. This period signifies the time when temperatures rise, ice melts, and the first spring rains begin to fall, which is vital for the start of the farming season.

今年的雨水比往年都要多,农民们很开心。(This year's rainfall is more than previous years; the farmers are very happy.)

In daily life, you will hear people use this word to describe the state of the outdoors. If someone comes inside dripping wet, they might exclaim that the 雨水 is 'too heavy' (雨水太大). However, it is important to distinguish this from the verb 'to rain' (下雨). You use 雨水 when focusing on the quantity or the entity of the water. In the context of urban planning, '雨水收集系统' (rainwater harvesting systems) is a common technical term. Because water has always been a symbol of wealth and life in Chinese culture, 雨水 often carries a positive connotation of nourishment and renewal, especially in the context of spring.

窗户上挂满了雨水,看不清外面的景色。(The window is covered with rainwater, making it impossible to see the scenery outside.)

Furthermore, in environmental discussions, 雨水 is differentiated from 'wastewater' (污水) or 'tap water' (自来水). It is seen as a natural resource. In modern 'Sponge City' (海绵城市) initiatives across China, the management of 雨水 is a central theme, focusing on absorption and recycling to prevent urban flooding. Thus, the word bridges the gap between ancient agricultural wisdom and modern sustainable engineering.

我们应该建立更好的系统来利用雨水。(We should establish better systems to utilize rainwater.)

Using 雨水 (yǔshuǐ) correctly requires understanding its role as a mass noun. It typically appears as the subject or object of a sentence, often modified by adjectives describing quantity or quality. Because it refers to a collective amount or a substance, it is frequently paired with verbs like 收集 (shōují - collect), 冲刷 (chōngshuā - wash away/scour), and 渗透 (shèntòu - permeate).

As a Subject
When 雨水 is the subject, it is usually performing an action on the environment.
Example: 雨水滋润了大地的万物。 (Rainwater nourished all things on the earth.)
As an Object
As an object, it is something being acted upon or measured.
Example: 我们需要储存更多的雨水以备旱季。 (We need to store more rainwater for the dry season.)
In Compound Nouns
雨水 often acts as a modifier for other nouns to create specific terms like 雨水管 (drainpipe), 雨水井 (manhole/storm drain), or 雨水节气 (the Yushui solar term).

One of the most common ways to use 雨水 is to describe the climate of a place. You will often see the pattern '[Place] + 雨水 + [Adjective]'. For instance, '南方雨水多' (The south has a lot of rain) or '这里雨水稀少' (Rainfall is scarce here). This is the standard way to talk about regional weather patterns over time, rather than just saying it is raining right now.

由于连续几周没有雨水,农作物开始枯萎。(Due to a lack of rainwater for several consecutive weeks, the crops began to wither.)

In a more poetic or literary context, 雨水 can be used to describe emotions or atmosphere. For example, '他的眼里充满了泪水,就像窗外的雨水一样' (His eyes were full of tears, just like the rainwater outside the window). Here, the word helps create a somber or reflective mood. It is also used in the famous idiom '风调雨顺' (fēng tiáo yǔ shùn), which literally means 'favorable wind and harmonious rain', signifying a year of good harvests and peace.

地面上积满了雨水,走路时要小心。(The ground is covered with accumulated rainwater; be careful when walking.)

You will encounter 雨水 (yǔshuǐ) in several distinct environments, ranging from the highly formal to the very practical. Understanding these contexts will help you grasp the nuanced difference between this word and the simple word for rain, .

The Weather Forecast
On CCTV or local news stations, the weather presenter will frequently use 雨水 when discussing the outlook for the week. They might say, '未来几天,江南地区的雨水将会增多' (In the coming days, rainfall in the Jiangnan region will increase). This sounds more professional and objective than just saying 'it will rain'.
Agricultural Settings
In rural China or when reading about farming, the 24 Solar Terms are still very much alive. During the 雨水 solar term in February, you will hear farmers and news reports discussing the 'spring plowing' (春耕) and how the timely 雨水 is vital for the wheat and rice crops.
Urban Infrastructure and Construction
If you walk around a Chinese city, you might see metal covers on the street labeled '雨' or '雨水'. These are storm drains. Engineers and construction workers use 雨水 to distinguish between rainwater runoff and '污水' (sewage). Discussions about '雨污分流' (separation of rainwater and sewage) are common in urban development.

由于这个城市的雨水排放系统老化,大雨后经常淹水。(Because the city's rainwater drainage system is aging, it often floods after heavy rain.)

In schools and educational materials, 雨水 is used in science class when teaching the water cycle (水循环). Students learn how 雨水 evaporates, forms clouds, and falls again. It is treated as a scientific term for water in its atmospheric liquid state. In literature, especially classical poetry, 雨水 is used to evoke the feeling of early spring. A famous line by the Tang dynasty poet Du Fu mentions '好雨知时节,当春乃发生' (A good rain knows its season, and comes when spring arrives), which perfectly encapsulates the cultural sentiment surrounding the 雨水 solar term.

气象台预测,本周将有充足的雨水缓解旱情。(The meteorological observatory predicts that there will be sufficient rainfall this week to alleviate the drought.)

For English speakers, the most frequent mistake when using 雨水 (yǔshuǐ) is confusing it with the verb 'to rain' or using it in contexts where the simple noun '雨' (rain) is more appropriate. While they are related, they are not always interchangeable.

Mistake 1: Using it as a Verb
Incorrect: 今天雨水了。 (Today rainwatered.)
Correct: 今天下雨了。 (It rained today.)
Explanation: 雨水 is strictly a noun. It cannot be used to describe the action of raining.
Mistake 2: Overusing it for 'Rain'
Incorrect: 我讨厌雨水。 (I hate rainwater - sounds like you hate the liquid specifically.)
Correct: 我讨厌下雨。 (I hate it when it rains.)
Explanation: If you want to say you dislike the weather condition, use '下雨' or '雨天'. Using 雨水 implies you have a specific problem with the water itself.
Mistake 3: Confusing with '降水' (Precipitation)
Context: In a very formal scientific paper.
Explanation: While 雨水 is used in weather reports, the term 降水 (jiàngshuǐ) is the more formal academic term for precipitation (which includes snow, sleet, etc.). 雨水 specifically refers to liquid rain.

Another common error is related to the solar term. If you say '雨水快到了' (Yushui is coming soon) in October, people will be very confused. Remember that 雨水 as a specific time of year only happens in February. If you just mean 'the rain is coming', say '雨快来了' or '要下雨了'.

别把雨水带进屋里!(Don't bring the rainwater into the house! - Correct use as a physical substance.)

Finally, learners sometimes confuse 雨水 with 汗水 (hànshuǐ - sweat) or 泪水 (lèishuǐ - tears) because they all end in '水'. While they follow the same linguistic pattern (Source + Water), they are obviously very different substances! Make sure you are using the correct source word.

这里的雨水含有大量的酸性物质。(The rainwater here contains a large amount of acidic substances.)

Chinese has a rich vocabulary for weather. Depending on the intensity, the formality, and the specific focus, you might choose a different word instead of 雨水 (yǔshuǐ).

雨 (yǔ) - Rain
The most basic word. Use this for general references to rain.
Example: 大雨 (heavy rain), 小雨 (light rain).
降水 (jiàngshuǐ) - Precipitation
A technical, formal term used in geography and meteorology. It includes rain, snow, and hail.
Example: 年降水量 (annual precipitation).
降雨 (jiàngyǔ) - Rainfall (Action/Event)
Focuses on the event of rain falling. Often used in news reports.
Example: 局部地区有短时强降雨 (short-term heavy rainfall in localized areas).
甘霖 (gānlín) - Timely Rain
A literary and archaic term for 'sweet rain' that comes just when it is needed, usually after a drought.
Example: 久旱逢甘霖 (meeting timely rain after a long drought).

When comparing 雨水 and 降雨, 雨水 is more about the 'stuff' (water), while 降雨 is more about the 'process' (falling). For instance, you would say '收集雨水' (collect rainwater) but not '收集降雨'. Conversely, you would say '强降雨导致洪水' (heavy rainfall caused flooding) to emphasize the intensity of the falling rain.

虽然雨水很多,但并没有造成内涝。(Although there was a lot of rainwater, it did not cause urban flooding.)

In casual conversation, if you are wet from the rain, you might just say '身上全是雨' (rain is all over me), but using '身上全是雨水' is also perfectly natural and slightly more descriptive. If you are talking about the 'rainy season', you use '雨季' (yǔjì), not '雨水季'.

这桶里装的是干净的雨水。(This bucket contains clean rainwater.)

چالش

Try to use '雨水' in a sentence about your favorite season without using the word '下雨'.

ریشه کلمه

The word is a compound of two ancient pictographic characters. '雨' (yǔ) originally depicted drops of water falling from a cloud/sky. '水' (shuǐ) depicted a flowing stream of water. Together, they form the literal concept of water that comes from rain.

معنای اصلی: Water falling from the sky.

Sino-Tibetan

بافت فرهنگی

No specific sensitivities; rain is a universal natural phenomenon.

In English, 'rainwater' is mostly a technical term. In Chinese, '雨水' is much more common in daily speech.

No, '雨水' is a noun. To say 'it's raining', you must use the verb phrase '下雨' (xià yǔ).

It is the second of the 24 solar terms, usually starting around February 19th. It marks the time when snow turns to rain and temperatures rise.

It is neutral. It can be used in daily conversation ('clothes wet with rainwater') and in formal reports ('annual rainfall').

You don't. It's uncountable. To refer to a specific rain event, use '一场雨' (yī cháng yǔ).

In casual use, yes. But technically, '降水' (jiàngshuǐ) is the correct term for all forms of precipitation including snow.

It's an idiom meaning 'favorable wind and rain', used to wish for good weather and a successful harvest.

Both are 3rd tones. However, when two 3rd tones are together, the first one changes to a 2nd tone. So it sounds like 'yú shuǐ'.

No, tap water is '自来水'. '雨水' specifically refers to water that comes directly from rain.

Yes, this is a common way to say the rainfall is heavy or that there is a lot of rainwater on the ground.

It is rare as a given name but can appear in poetic contexts or as a pseudonym.
