Heavy snow is one of the 24 solar terms, the 21st solar term. At the same time, heavy snow can also be used to describe a very heavy snowfall. However, there is no necessary connection between the two, and it is not necessarily snowing heavily on the day of the heavy snow festival, and it is not necessarily on the day of the heavy snow festival.
In fact, there are also some agricultural proverbs about the heavy snow solar term and heavy snowfall, and some friends may ask, is it better to snow on the day of the heavy snow solar term or not?In this article, the author will talk about this matter in detail through specific agricultural proverbs, and everyone will have the answer after reading it.
This agricultural proverb means that if there is no snow on the day of the heavy snow solar term, then the grain ** of the second year will be more expensive. "Tough as iron" is a metaphor used to illustrate that food is as strong as iron, but it is actually more expensive.
Some friends may think that it is a good thing that food is expensive, which means that it is good to not snow during the heavy snow season. In fact, this is not the case, you can think about it, under what circumstances will food ** be expensive?The answer is obvious, that is, when the grain output is not high, the grain will be expensive.
If the crops are bumper and the market is sufficient, grain prices will inevitably appear to a certain extent. In terms of corn this year, the yield of corn in many places this year is higher, and the yield per mu is 1300-1500 catties, which is more common, and the current corn ** has dropped to 120-1.25 yuan or so, compared with the same period last year, 2 cents per catty less.
Therefore, from the analysis of the agricultural proverb "heavy snow does not snow, grain is as strong as iron", it is not necessarily a good thing that there is no snow on the day of the heavy snow solar term.
This agricultural proverb is a metaphor that means that if there is no snow on the day of heavy snowfall, then the ploughing cattle will be resting the following year.
In the past, farming was not the same as it is now, now it was mainly mechanized, while in the past it was mainly based on cattle. After the beginning of spring next year, everyone will start to be busy with spring management and spring sowing, and the ploughing cattle will not stop.
In the eyes of farmers, the ploughing cattle do not stop, indicating that the farm work is busy, and the busier the farm work, the better, and the busier the crops. If the farmers are not busy and the cattle are resting when it is time to be busy, it means that the field is relatively dry, or the crops are not growing well, and there is no need or condition for management.
"Ploughing cattle break" is actually not a good phenomenon, whether it is crop management or sowing, everyone wants to be busy, after all, busy to harvest.
There is also a proverb similar to "the heavy snow does not see the snow, and the ploughing cattle will rest in the coming year", which means that if the sun rises on the day of heavy snowfall, then the ploughing cattle will be happier the next year. When will a ploughing cow be happy?That's when they don't work, and when the cattle are not busy, the growth of crops is not guaranteed.
Therefore, from the analysis of this agricultural proverb alone, there was no snow on the day of the heavy snowfall, the ploughing cattle liked it, and the farmer friends were unhappy, which means that it is not a good thing.
The meaning of this agricultural proverb is easy to understand, if it snows on the day of heavy snowfall, then by the next year, good wheat will arrive, which also indicates that the yield and quality of wheat are good.
As the old saying goes, "Ruixue is a good year", which is almost the same meaning. When it comes to winter, it should be cold when it should be cold, and it should snow when it should snow.
In the case of wheat, when it grows in winter, it is not afraid of snow, but on the contrary, it is afraid of warm winters. On the one hand, when it snows, the temperature is relatively low, which can inhibit the reproduction of agricultural germs and insect eggs in the field, so that it cannot safely overwinter. When the temperature warms up in the next year, the number of pests and diseases in the field is not large, the damage is reduced, and it is more conducive to growth.
On the other hand, if it does not snow when it should be, the temperature is relatively high, which will not only increase the damage of pests and diseases, but also cause wheat to grow vigorously. However, once wheat grows, its own stress resistance is relatively weakened, which increases the probability of frost damage.
There is a similar agricultural proverb "heavy snow and snow, eat white flour next year", which also means that if it snows during the heavy snow season, then next year's wheat yield and quality will be better, and "eating white flour" is a metaphorical way to explain that it is conducive to the growth of wheat.
Therefore, judging from the meaning of the agricultural proverb "heavy snow and white snowflakes, good wheat in the coming year", it is a good thing for snow to occur during the heavy snow season.
Based on the above, the arrival of the heavy snow solar term does not indicate that it will definitely snow, and the heavy snow solar term and heavy snow are two different concepts. And from the folk agricultural proverbs,It snows on the day of the heavy snow season, and the subsequent weather may be more conducive to the growth of crops.
Today's heavy snow solar term, we are sunny here, there is no snow, where are you?
