In the agricultural proverb, there is no specific description of how terrible a cloudy day is on the second day of the first lunar month. However, according to folklore and customs, the second day of the first lunar month is a more important day, with various sacrifices and auspicious activities. Cloudy days may affect people's travel and activity plans, so the elderly will say, "I am most afraid that the second day of the first lunar month will be cloudy", probably out of the hope that the weather will be clear and various celebrations and festivals can be carried out smoothly.
However, regardless of the weather, everyone's mood and understanding of the festival may be different, so the horror of a cloudy day on the second day of the first lunar month needs to be judged according to personal opinions and emotions. I hope you have a wonderful and enjoyable day on the second day of the first lunar month!
In the old days of farming, people's lives were closely related to the weather. The second day of the first lunar month, as the second day of the new year, is considered to have an important impact on the future weather and the year. According to the experience of weather observation and the description in agricultural proverbs of the ancients, cloudy days on the second day of the first lunar month may cause continuous rainy weather to last until Qingming, which will adversely affect the growth of crops and spring ploughing activities, resulting in a decrease in grain production.
The agricultural proverbs mentioned that "the clouds do not disperse in the sky on the second day of the first month, and the rain falls until the moon and a half on the third day of the first month", "the second day of the first month is not sunny, and the fire is until the Qingming", "the second day of the first month is cloudy and the sky is not sunny, and the old farmers cannot plant the fields", etc., all emphasize that the weather continues to be wet and cold from the cloudy days of the first day to the Qingming period, and such weather conditions are not conducive to the growth of crops, affect the peasants' spring plowing and spring planting work, and may lead to a decrease in grain production.
Therefore, in the past agrarian society, people were quite taboo about "the second day of the first lunar month", which is also the reason why the old proverb says that "the second day of the first lunar month is cloudy". However, it should be noted that this concept is based on the understanding of weather and agriculture by the ancients, and there is no scientific basis in modern society, and we should rely more on science and technology to respond to weather changes.
The proverbs and proverbs summarized by the ancients based on experience gave some warnings and taboos for the omen of a cloudy day on the second day of the first lunar month. In the ancient agricultural era, the weather was directly related to agricultural production and people's lives, so people were particularly sensitive to changes in the weather.
The proverb about the cloudy day on the second day of the first lunar month may vary depending on the region and folklore. In some places, people will say that "there are no stars on the second day of the first month, and measles is everywhere in spring", which means that if you can't see the stars on the night of the second day of the first month, it may indicate that there will be epidemic measles and other ** diseases in spring. There is also a proverb that says, "There are no stars on the second day of the first month, and there is no sunny day for 45 days", which means that if the second day of the first month is cloudy, there is less chance of sunny weather for the next 45 days.
These proverbs are not superstitions, but are summed up by farmers based on years of observation and experience, hoping to judge future weather conditions and years through the observation of the weather. However, the progress of science and technology in modern society and the accuracy of meteorological observations have enabled us to be more accurate in weather changes, so we can regard these proverbs as part of the wisdom and traditional culture of the ancients, but we don't have to be too superstitious.
