In many parts of China, the weather conditions on the day of the beginning of winter are seen as a harbinger of winter weather. If it rains on the day of the beginning of winter, then people are worried that there will be too much rain in winter, which will cause food such as bacon and sausages to perish. This concern stems from a meteorological proverb: "Rain in the beginning of winter, snowdrifts in the winter." ”
The meaning of this proverb is that if it rains on the day of the beginning of winter, then the whole winter will be rainy and there will probably be snow. Since winter is the slack season, people usually make bacon, sausages and other foods for storage. If there is too much rain in winter, these foods are susceptible to moisture and rotting. Therefore, this proverb reminds people to pay attention to the weather forecast for the beginning of winter and prepare in advance.
In some areas, foods such as bacon and sausages are made before the beginning of winter to avoid rotting during the winter when there is too much rain. At the same time, they will also take some measures to protect these foods, such as keeping them in a ventilated and dry place, wrapping them in materials such as plastic wrap or newspapers to prevent moisture and odors.
Although modern meteorology has been very developed, people can know the future weather conditions through weather forecasting, but this proverb still occupies an important place in the hearts of many people. It is not only a kind of meteorology, but also an accumulation and inheritance of life experience. In many places, people still arrange their life and production plans according to this proverb so as not to run into unnecessary troubles.
In short, the proverb "rain in the beginning of winter, snowdrifts in the rotten winter" reflects people's concern for the weather and wisdom about life. It reminds us to pay attention to the weather forecast and rationally arrange our life and production plans to cope with various meteorological changes.
