With the end of New Year's Day, the Xiaohan solar term is quietly coming. This year's Xiaohan occurred on January 6 of the solar calendar, the twenty-fifth day of the winter month of the lunar calendar.
Xiaohan is the 23rd of the 24 solar terms, when the direct point of the sun has not yet come to the northern hemisphere, so the ground heat is in a state of dissipation, that is, the heat absorbed during the day is still less than the heat released at night, so the temperature is still in a state of decline. And as the cold air continues to accumulate, the weather is getting colder and colder. Of course, although the weather is cold in the cold season, it is not yet at the extreme.
According to the "Seventy-two Candidate Explanations of the Lunar Order": "Xiaohan, December Festival." At the beginning of the month, the cold is still small, so the clouds, and the month and a half are big. It is said that the cold is divided into sizes, and there is not much accumulation at this time, so it is called a small cold. Therefore, the characteristics of the Xiaohan solar term are cold, but it is not yet cold to the extreme.
For Xiaohan, there are many folk exquisiteness and sayings, among which the phrase "Xiaohan sees three whites, and has enough food and clothing in the coming year" has been widely spread by the people, so what does this sentence mean?What is the "three whites"?Let's take a look.
The so-called "three whites" do not refer to three kinds of white things, but simply refer to snowfall, and the meaning of three snowfalls. Moreover, it is not necessary to see three snows to "see three whites", because the numbers here are only general, and usually express the expectations of the ancients for snowfall on cold days. Because snowfall can give the crops a good harvest in the coming year, so that the next year can ensure that there is enough food and clothing. Here's why:
First of all, snowfall can freeze the pests in the field to death. In general, pests in the fields of crops hibernate in the winter, that is, hide underground, and in the following spring they will rise with the temperature.
If there is multiple snowfalls at this time, then the pests in the ground will freeze to death, and the more times the snow falls, the more pests will freeze to death, so that the crops will be preserved in the next year.
Secondly, it conforms to the laws of nature. As the saying goes, "if it's cold or not, it's not an adult". The small cold is in the 39th day, which is the cold period of the year, and the air conditioning is heavier at this time, and it is easy to have snowfall days. This is also the result of the laws of nature, and under the laws of nature, the crops will also have a good harvest.
Therefore, Xiao Han saw Sanbai, and the saying that there was enough food and clothing in the coming year is a kind of sustenance and hope of the ancients for a bumper grain harvest.
From the above statement, we can see that Xiaohan's snowy days are good for the crop harvest, so if Xiaohan encounters sunny days, it is not very friendly. In other words, "a little cold is better than snow than sunny".
During the cold season, crops are highly susceptible to frostbite, and snow is a kind of nourishment and protection for crops. As the agricultural proverb says, "Wheat covers three layers of quilts in winter, and sleeps with steamed buns in the coming year", that is, if there is more snow in winter, it is good for the growth of crops, at least the harvest *** On the contrary, if the small cold day is sunny, then the temperature will be lower at this time, and the crops will be frostbitten without heavy snow protection, and the yield will naturally be reduced.
In addition, there is a proverb, "If it doesn't snow in a small cold or a big cold, it will dry up in a small summer and a big summer", which also means that if it doesn't snow, the crops will be watery, and in the next year, there will be a drought, which is also unfavorable for the crops.
In this way, it can be seen that it is good for Xiaohan to have a snow genius on this day, and if it is a sunny day, it is probably not a good thing.
In short, the Xiaohan solar term is approaching, you can pay attention to your local weather, and then compare the agricultural proverb to prepare in advance to avoid crop reduction. Of course, most of today's agricultural production no longer depends on the sky for food, but agricultural proverbs still have a certain reference value and are worth learning from.
