Introduction: "The weather is sunny on the twentieth day of the first month, and nine of the ten bullpens are empty", on the twentieth day of the first month, what is the sign of a sunny day?
Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, it has reached the twentieth day of the first month, although this day is not a traditional festival of the lunar calendar, but in some areas, there are many customs and exquisiteness on this day.
The twentieth day of the first lunar month, known in some places as the "Filling Warehouse Festival", originated from the Song Dynasty's people's prayer for a good grain harvest. It is recorded in "Big Comrade": "On the twentieth, it was a 'small warehouse';On the 25th, for the 'big warehouse', he bought rice, flour, charcoal and other things. ”
Whether it is the "small Tiankura" on the 20th day of the first lunar month or the "Datiankura" on the 25th day of the first lunar month, people will hold sacrificial activities. On this day, people will clean the yard, sprinkle firewood ash into a copper coin pattern, and put some grain in it, which means a good harvest and a prosperous family. At the same time, people will try to fill the rice jars at home as much as possible, so as to have a good weather and surplus every year.
In addition, the twentieth day of the first lunar month is also the "Heavenly Wear Festival", which is a commemorative day established to commemorate Nuwa's mending the sky. In addition, the "Heavenly Piercing Festival" is the only folk festival in China in which housewives perform sacrifices, and it is a festival in ancient times when people looked forward to good weather, agricultural harvest, peace and peace.
On the day of the 20th day of the first lunar month, there are "mending cakes" in some places, and people will also tie the mending cakes with red silk threads and throw them on the roof of their homes to symbolize mending the sky, so as to seek family peace and good luck.
In addition, on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, there is a saying among the folk that "the weather is sunny on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, and nine out of ten bullpens are empty". What does that mean? What is the sign of a sunny day? Let's take a closer look!
This agricultural proverb literally means that if the twentieth day of the first lunar month is a sunny day, then it indicates that the spring of the year will be good and the farmers will be busy plowing the fields, and there will naturally be no cattle in the cattle pens. Let's take a look at how the agricultural proverbs left by our ancestors are judged:
1. The rain does not stop on the twentieth day of the first month, and it is gloomy and gloomy for a hundred days.
This agricultural proverb is not difficult to understand, to the effect that if there is continuous rain on the 20th day of the first lunar month, then it indicates that there may be more rainy weather in the future. And this can go on on and off for more than 100 days.
As the old saying goes, "spring rain is as expensive as oil", proper rainfall is conducive to crop growth, but long-term rain will not only cause a drop in temperature, but also too high soil moisture, affecting the growth and development of crops, and may even cause some diseases and pests.
Second, the twentieth day of the first month is smiling, predicting a happy year.
This agricultural proverb means that if the sun is shining on the 20th day of the first lunar month, it is a good indication that it will be a good year.
Third, the twentieth day of the first month, the fire is baked to a small full.
This agricultural proverb means that if it rains on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, it indicates that the weather will be relatively cold in the future, and this cold weather may last until the Xiaoman solar term, indicating that the cold weather is coming.
The occurrence of "inverted spring cold" weather is very harmful, not only will the wheat after returning to green or the young ears that are in the jointing and booting stage freeze to death. It will also cause the seedlings of cotton, melons, fruits, vegetables and other crops that have just been sown in spring to suffer greater frost damage, thereby affecting fruit quality and yield.
Fourth, the first month of the twentieth rain and snow, March and peach blossom snow.
This agricultural proverb means that if there is rain and snow around the 20th day of the first lunar month, it indicates that there may be peach blossom snow in March.
What is "Peach Blossom Snow"? It refers to the snowfall weather that occurs when the peach blossoms are in full bloom in spring, because the peach blossoms are in full bloom at this time, the petals fall, and the snowflakes are in harmony, so it is called "peach blossom snow".
At this time, the weather of snowfall indicates that the weather is still relatively cold, and there is a cold weather in spring, which is not conducive to the growth of fruit trees and affects the quality and yield of fruits.
Of course, agricultural proverbs have certain regional and limitations, and our country is so big that it cannot be generalized. However, after all, agricultural proverbs are the crystallization of the experience accumulated by the working people in the long-term production practice, and they will inevitably play a certain guiding role in agricultural production. So, it's okay as a reference.
