I. Introduction
In the vast rural areas, there are many wise sayings. These sayings often embody the experience and wisdom of generations of farmers, and become an important basis for guiding agricultural production and life. Among them, the saying "dry winter wet year, wet winter dry year" is a simple summary of the relationship between agricultural production and the natural environment.

2. Literature review
Through the combing of historical documents, it can be found that the saying "dry winter wet year, wet winter dry year" has been recorded in ancient documents. In ancient times, it was believed that the weather conditions in winter were closely related to agricultural production in the coming year. If the winter is dry, the rainfall in the coming year may be reduced, resulting in stunted crop growth;And if the winter is wet, the rainfall may increase in the coming year, which is conducive to the growth of crops. Therefore, this proverb reflects to a certain extent people's understanding of the relationship between the natural environment and agricultural production.
3. Research Methodology
This paper uses a combination of literature research, folklore collection and field investigation to conduct an in-depth study of the popular saying "dry winter wet year, wet winter dry year". First, learn about the origin and evolution of this proverb by consulting historical documents and folkloreSecondly, through field investigations, understand the application of this proverb in agricultural production;Finally, a comprehensive analysis of these data, the guiding significance of this proverb in modern agricultural production.
IV. Results and Discussion
1.Origins and evolution.
According to historical documents, the saying "dry winter wet year, wet winter dry year" originated in ancient northern China. At that time, due to the backward agricultural production technology, farmers relied on the natural environment to determine the cultivation and harvest of crops. For the sake of the weather conditions and agricultural production in the coming year, they summed up this proverb. With the passage of time, this proverb gradually spread throughout the country and became an important basis for guiding agricultural production.
2.Applications in agricultural production.
In agricultural production, the saying "dry winter wet year, wet winter dry year" has a strong guiding significance. Farmers use this proverb to judge the rainfall and weather conditions for the coming year, so that they can arrange when and how to plant their crops. For example, if the winter is dry, farmers may reduce the acreage of crops with higher water demand and increase the acreage of crops with lower water demand;Vice versa.
