On this cold day of the winter solstice, the earth is covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost, as if the chill is condensing in the air. It is always at this time that a series of old agricultural proverbs are ushered in, trying to get a glimpse of the future winter by observing the changes in the weather.
There is an old saying, "The winter solstice is not afraid of rain, but the sky is clear." Perhaps this sentence is the experience of the older generation of wise men, revealing a unique observation of the winter solstice weather. On this special day, people seem to be more concerned about the vagaries of the sky, and this has become a kind of fun that has been passed down for thousands of years in the countryside.
It doesn't hurt to rain on the winter solstice, and the weather is still worrying. Perhaps it is because of this concern that people prefer to brave the rain rather than face the sun on the day of the winter solstice. Such traditional ideas seem a bit old in today's society with rising living standards, but they carry people's respect for nature and expectations for the future.
On the day of the winter solstice, the sky is light and breezy, and the sun shines through the blue sky, as if a touch of warmth is suddenly ushered in in this cold season. Perhaps due to the effects of climate change, this winter is somewhat unusual. It is not so much that "we are not afraid of the winter solstice, but we are afraid of the winter solstice", but we should gladly accept this sudden warmth.
On this special winter solstice, I didn't choose to eat dumplings, but met with my friends to feel the unique warmth of this day. The city's neon lights shine brightly on the night of the winter solstice, and the streets and alleys are filled with a festive atmosphere. Perhaps, we have moved away from the traditional custom of eating dumplings, but the arrival of the winter solstice still makes people feel a special sense of ritual.
On the winter solstice, rain and snow are seen, and Mai Gai has three quilts. This old agricultural proverb seems to echo in my mind. In the places where I grew up, rain and snow often meant a great start. The rain and snow on the winter solstice will bring moisture to the earth and provide moisture for the growth of crops. On this day, people pay close attention to the weather forecast, looking forward to the serene snowflakes falling, painting a beautiful picture of winter.
However, in my city, rain and snow are rarely seen on the winter solstice. This may be a reflection of global warming, and it makes me wonder if we need to revisit and adapt to these old proverbs. Perhaps, rain and snow are no longer the only good news, but we need to pay more attention to the protection of the environment, so that the beauty of nature can be reflected in every corner.
The winter solstice is warm, and the cold and heat are panicking. This statement also seems quite interesting to me. Perhaps in the past, people were more sensitive to changes in the weather, but today it is no longer so "hot". The development of modern technology allows us to be more accurate in the weather and prepare in advance. Therefore, on this winter solstice, even a sunny day no longer makes people feel "panic".
The winter solstice has arrived, and people are still busy, but they are no longer subject to the changes in the weather as they were in the past. We have more choices and rights to plan our lives according to our personal preferences and needs. The traditional customs of the winter solstice may no longer be the only option, but this does not prevent us from feeling a sense of ritual and the warmth of home on this special day.
The winter solstice is a node to record time. In this cold winter, we may be able to revisit those old agricultural proverbs and give them new meanings. Not afraid of the winter solstice, afraid of the winter solstice, may no longer be the only truth in modern times, but it carries the precipitation of history and the inheritance of wisdom. On this special winter solstice, let us feel the flow of time, appreciate the changes of life, and meet the challenges of the future.
