Time flies so fast, today is the twelfth day of the first month of the year of the dragon in Jiachen, the old man said that "the thunder in the first month is piled up", "the thunder in the first month eats iron", "the most afraid of thunder in the first month", in people's opinion, the thunder in the first month is not a good phenomenon. Farmers rely on the sky to eat, people hope that the wind and rain will be smooth, and the grains will be abundant, so what is the sign of thunder and snow in the first month? Let's take a look at the agricultural proverb.
Today is the third day of the rain season, rain is the second solar term of spring in our country, which is a solar term that reflects the rainfall, the rain solar term does not mean that it will rain, but means that the rain begins, and the rain will be heavier and heavier in the future.
According to the meteorological analysis of previous years, the largest annual snowfall in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in China is neither the light snow and the heavy snow season, but also the small cold and the big cold solar term, but the rain solar term in spring, so it is very normal for the rain to snow in the rainy season, the temperature is cold and warm in early spring, the cold air is still active, and it is easy to snowfall when there is a moist air flow to supplement.
In the past few days, there has been an obvious cold wave cooling weather in northern China, such as the lowest temperature in Xinjiang is lower than minus 50, today is the twelfth day of the first month, the cold wave brings a wide range of cooling weather is still continuing, the minimum temperature in most parts of southern China will generally drop 8 12, of which the temperature in central and northern South China, most of the south of the Yangtze River and other places will drop 12 18, in some areas of the first month is a rare "thunder and snow" weather.
Snow during the rainy season can be said to be a relatively normal phenomenon, but thunder during the rainy season is relatively rare. Normally, thunder will start after the stinging solar term, and the hibernating insects after the sting are awakened by the thunder, and in the summer, due to the strong air convection, it is easy to have thunder weather.
In the first month, there is a "thunder and snow" weather, indicating that the power of cold air is stronger, so that it is easy to snow, and thunder indicates that the power of warm air is also stronger, when the cold air and warm air are equal, the cold air in the south and the warm air in the north meet to form a rare "thunder and snow" weather, because this kind of weather is relatively rare, so many people regard it as a vision, so there is a saying that "the most afraid of thunder and snow in the first month".
According to the experience of the ancients, thunder and snow in the first month will affect the weather trend in the future, so what is the sign of "thunder and snow in the first month"? Let's take a look at the agricultural proverb.
First, the first month of thunder and snow, cold to the end of February
This agricultural proverb means that if there is thunder and snow in the first month, then according to the experience of our ancestors, it indicates that the cold weather will continue, even at the end of the second lunar month, the weather will be relatively cold, which also indicates that there is a "cold weather in spring".
If the weather is cold, it will inevitably affect the return of overwintering crops, and will also cause frost damage to overwintering crops that have returned to green; The second month of the lunar calendar is the time of spring plowing and spring sowing, if the cold weather of spring is encountered, then the farmers' spring plowing and spring sowing will be seriously affected, and the seeds after sowing will appear rotten due to low temperature; At the same time, the fruit trees have also blossomed and borne fruit in February, and if the cold weather of the spring is encountered, then the fruit setting rate of the fruit trees will be greatly reduced, so the "thunder and snow in the first month" is a phenomenon that farmers do not want to see.
Second, the first month thundered and snowed, and the cattle rested in the cold for 99 days
China's folk from the winter solstice to count nine to calculate the cold day, every 9 days for a nine, the old saying "nine nine plus nine, ploughing cattle everywhere", normally the weather has been warm during the nine-nine period, the fields are full of spring plowing and spring sowing busy scene.
The agricultural proverb says, "Thunder and snow fall in the first month, and the cattle rest in the cold for 99 days." According to the experience of our ancestors, if there is a rare weather of thunder and snow in the first month, it indicates that the weather will still be relatively cold during the 99th period, so that the farmers will not be able to carry out spring plowing and spring sowing, and the ploughing cattle will rest.
3. Thunder and snow hit in the first month, and the drought lasted until March
The meaning of this agricultural proverb is easy to understand, if there is thunder and snow in the first month, then according to the experience of our ancestors, it indicates that there will be less rain in the future, and this dry and rainy weather may last until the end of March of the lunar calendar, which indicates that there is a "spring drought".
In spring, farmers do not want two kinds of weather, one is "inverted spring cold" and the other is "spring drought". The spring drought will cause the wheat grains to be not full, which will cause the seeds sown in the spring to fail to emerge, which will lead to the weak growth of the unearthed seedlings and the serious reduction of crop yields.
Fourth, the thunder and snow in the first month of the year have added new graves everywhere
This agricultural proverb means that if there is thunder and snow in the first month, it indicates a bad year and a poor crop harvest. In ancient times, when there was a shortage of materials, once there was a year of poor grain harvest, it was easy to cause famine, and there would be a phenomenon of "new graves everywhere".
Just as the agricultural proverb says, "Thunder in the first month is full of thieves", "Thunder in the first month, people eat iron", "Thunder in the first month, grave piles", "Thunder in the first month, people pile up, thunder in February, wheat piles", these agricultural proverbs all tell people that thunder in the first month indicates that the weather in the first month is bad and the harvest of crops will be affected.
In summary, the agricultural proverb is a summary of the experience of our ancestors in production and life, and this is the compass for the ancients to carry out labor production. Abnormal weather has a great impact on agricultural production, "thunder and snow in the first month" is a relatively rare weather, according to the experience of our ancestors, we must prepare in advance to prevent spring cold and spring drought.
