Today is Thursday, the 25th day of the 10th month of the lunar calendar, which seems to be an ordinary day, but for farmers, this day has a special meaning because it is the heavy snow solar term among the 24 solar terms. The arrival of the heavy snow solar term is usually accompanied by a significant cooling, and strong cold air also tends to bring rain and snow.
At this special moment, we can't help but pay attention to the harbingers of heavy snow and sunny days, and the impact on farmers.
The heavy snow solar term has unique climatic characteristics, and the three phases of the season, namely the unsinging of the bird, the beginning of the tiger, and the emergence of the li, seem to reveal some subtle changes in nature. The bird refers to the cold trumpet bird, and during the heavy snow season, it will no longer chirp due to the cold weather. At the same time, the tiger also began to have courtship behavior because of the germination of yang energy, and Li Ting ushered in the withdrawal of new shoots.
However, unlike these meteorological phenomena, the old people in the village have preached the proverb "the most afraid of heavy snow and a sunny day", which arouses people's curiosity. What kind of celestial phenomena and agricultural omen are behind this proverb?
According to the old people, during the heavy snow season, if there is a sunny day, it often means that the following weather will be mainly sunny and warm, which means that the local winter rainfall and snowfall will be relatively small. While this is good news to some extent, at the same time, the sunny and heavy snow solar term also brings some worrying omens.
First of all, the heavy snow solar terms on sunny days suggest that spring may come later in the coming year, and spring water may come later and less often. This phenomenon may lead to the occurrence of inverted spring cold, which has a certain impact on the growth and development of crops. Farmers are in dire need of spring moisture, so this omen is a cause for concern.
In the folk, there are also some proverbs related to the saying of "big snow and sunny", such as "big snow and sunny, people eat iron", "heavy snow and sunny days, the beginning of spring snow more" and so on. These proverbs convey a common message that a sunny day during the heavy snow season may indicate less rain and snow in the coming spring, and may even lead to a cold spring. This is undoubtedly a message that cannot be ignored for farmers who rely on agricultural production.
In ancient society, long-term workers were laborers who worked for the landlord's family, mainly engaged in the cultivation of crops. Therefore, there is a proverb that "when the sun rises when the snow rises, the next year will be long and the work will be rested", which means that if the heavy snow season is sunny, then the next year the farmland will be less agricultural and the farmers will rest at home. This also reflects the adverse impact of sunny days and heavy snow solar terms on agricultural production.
Although these proverbs are not infallible meteorological accuracy**, they reflect people's concerns about changing weather and concerns about farming. In the face of different meteorological conditions, farmers need to take corresponding agricultural measures according to the actual situation to ensure the growth of crops and the normal progress of agricultural production.
Overall, the adage "the most afraid of heavy snow on a sunny day" may be an exaggeration, but it can draw our attention to the changing weather. In modern society, advances in technology have made the weather more accurate, but the ideas conveyed by folk proverbs still have their own unique value.
While we enjoy modern conveniences, we may as well retain our awe of nature and deeply understand the impact of meteorological changes on our lives, so as to better adapt to the laws of nature.
