Winter Farming Meeting
Winter, as one of the four seasons, has an important impact on agricultural production. In ancient times, farmers had come up with many proverbs about winter farming activities through long-term observation and practice. These proverbs are rich in profound agricultural wisdom and still have important guiding significance for agricultural production today.
First of all, "winter ploughing and spring sowing, autumn harvest and winter storage" is the most common agricultural proverb. The meaning of this proverb is to plow in winter, sow in spring, harvest in autumn, and store in winter. This is a scientific summary of the agricultural production season, emphasizing the continuity and seasonality of agricultural production.
Secondly, "if it doesn't rain on the winter solstice, there will be drought in the coming year" is a proverb about the weather. The meaning of this proverb is that if there is no rain on the day of the winter solstice, then there will be a drought the following year. This is because the winter solstice is the day with the shortest days and the longest nights of the year, and if there is no rain on this day, then the rain will decrease the following year, triggering a drought.
Again, "plant in winter and harvest in spring, plant in spring and harvest in summer" is a proverb about when crops are planted. The meaning of this proverb is that crops planted in winter should be harvested in the spring, and crops planted in the spring should be harvested in the summer. This is a scientific understanding of the crop growth cycle and emphasizes the importance of crop planting time.
In addition, "Winter is cold, spring is warm" is a proverb that describes climate change. The meaning of this proverb is that the coldest time in winter is Sanjiu, and the warmest time in spring is when the flowers bloom. This is a scientific summary of the laws of climate change and a reminder of the need to adjust agricultural production activities in response to climate change.
These agricultural proverbs are all the experiences summed up by the peasants in the long-term production practice, and they reveal some basic laws of agricultural production, which still have important guiding significance for our agricultural production today. As the ancients said: "Read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles." "While we learn to Xi and understand these agricultural proverbs, we should also go out of books and into the fields to experience agricultural production first-hand, so that we can truly understand and master these agricultural wisdom.
In general, the agricultural proverbs of winter are a deep understanding and summary of the laws of agricultural production by farmers, and they are our precious agricultural cultural heritage. We should cherish and inherit these agricultural proverbs, let them exert new vitality in the context of the new era, and provide scientific guidance for China's agricultural production.
