For example: the most afraid of the winter solstice is a sunny day, which is a bad omen!
Winter solstice, in ancient folk, there is a saying that "the winter solstice is as big as the year"!
The day was short and the night was long.
On the day of the winter solstice, it is especially prosperous for people in the south to eat glutinous rice balls and glutinous rice cakesIn the north, there is a habit of eating dumplings.
There is even a folk proverb in the north: If you don't serve dumpling bowls on the winter solstice, no one cares if you freeze your ears.
It can be seen that the winter solstice attaches great importance to the Chinese!
On this day, the ancestors also left a lot of sayings and agricultural proverbs for future generations.
As the saying goes: the winter solstice is dark, and the New Year is sparse;The winter solstice is sparse, and the New Year is dark.
If the winter solstice is at the beginning of the month, it will be cold until the end of the year;The winter solstice is at the end of the month, and it should be cold in the first month.
That said, the winter solstice is not cold, which does not bode well for the coming year.
In other words: the winter solstice is sunny, which is a bad omen for farmers!
Since ancient times, people have believed that the laws of nature rewarded by God are irreversible!
Even, in health science, this is an important solar term!
It is believed that the winter solstice is the coldest in the small cold and the big cold, and those with heart disease and high blood pressure often get worse, and the number of "strokes" often increases, so people are usually asked to pay attention to keeping warm and properly adjusting their diet and daily life!
In the past, farmers believed that the winter solstice was sunny, which did not conform to the laws of nature, and the climate was abnormal, and the crops would be greatly reduced in the coming year
The winter solstice is clear, that is, a warm winter!
It's not cold on this day, it's warm throughout the winter, and it's cold for the New Year!This results in low summer temperatures!
If it is not cold at the time of the winter solstice, the pests in the field will not die, so that the temperature will become warmer after the year, and the pests in the field will multiply rapidly.
Spring-sown and summer-planted crops can be infested by insects, affecting farmers' management and raising their costs.
In the past, farmers couldn't solve the problem of food and clothing, and they had the money to solve these pests, and they generally relied on heaven to eat.
In addition, if the winter solstice is not cold, it will lead to insufficient temperature in summer and slow growth of crops, which will also affect farmers' harvests.
This is really worse for the farmers in the past!
This is the reason why the ancestors were most worried about the winter solstice!
Do you feel that the ancestors are too worried?
However, there is another way of saying "the winter is sunny and the poor are raised".
Why did people say this before?
The most important thing is: in the past, the poor did not have enough food and clothing!
On the winter solstice, the weather is generally cold.
In the past, people even had a problem with eating, and there was money to buy clothes there, and there were so many and so thick clothes to wear.
Most of the cloth worn by the poor is self-woven cloth, and the cloth and cotton are also limited.
If it is too cold on the winter solstice, it will be cold for a long time throughout the winter.
The poor do not come to eat, the body is generally very thin, there is no energy to replenish the middle, it is difficult to protect against the cold, plus there are not enough, thick enough clothes to wear, then, the winter solstice is sunny, for the poor, this is a good thing!
So some people used to say, "Rise in winter and raise the poor"Another way of saying!
Finally: today is the winter solstice, I wish you all a happy festival and good health!
