In the song of Counting Nine, it is mentioned that "the Qijiu River opens, and the geese come", which means that when it comes to "Qijiu", the frozen river water has begun to thaw, and when it arrives, the geese will fly back to the north from the south.
Whether it is "Qijiu River Open" or "** Wild Goose", the implication is that the temperature is gradually warming, entering a comfortable spring, and the crops will also start to "spring management".
This year's "** time starts on February 23, 2024, however, check the weather forecast, there will be snow in many places that day. **Meteorological Observatory forecast, **south and east, western Sichuan Plateau, northwest Yunnan, central and eastern Guizhou, central and eastern Northwest China, western Shanxi, western Huanghuai, Jianghuai, Jianghan, northern and western Jiangnan and other places have light to moderate snow or sleet, among them, **East, northern Sichuan Plateau, southern Shaanxi, central Anhui and other places have heavy snow, local blizzard.
Some friends may ask, the time has come, the geese are coming back, what are the signs of snowfall in many places? Good no good? There are also some agricultural proverbs about this phenomenon. Next, the author will combine specific agricultural proverbs to talk about this matter in detail, and you will have the answer after reading it.
This agricultural proverb means that if there is snowfall at the time of entry, it indicates that the number of graves will increase. "*head" refers to the day of entry. "Graves everywhere" is an exaggeration, implying that the yield of crops is not high.
In ancient times, most families were mainly farming, there were no pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and no convenient irrigation conditions, people often relied on the sky to farm, when the rain was sufficient, the wind and rain were smooth, the yield of crops may be higher.
However, this high yield can not be compared with the current yield, for example, the yield of wheat or rice per mu is only a few hundred catties, and now the yield of 1,000 catties per mu is not considered a high yield.
If it snows on the first day (snowfall indicates a cooling), it means that the temperature warming time is delayed, which is not conducive to the return of crops in the field. At the same time, if the snowfall lasts for a long time and the cooling range is too large, it is easy to cause frost damage.
Taking wheat as an example, after entering the **, wheat in many places has gradually begun to enter the regreening period, at this time, wheat's own cold resistance is weakened, and it is easy to suffer frost damage when encountering snowfall and cooling.
Nowadays, when farming encounters general frost damage, spraying brassin, foliar fertilizer, etc., combined with watering and topdressing, can alleviate frost damage to the greatest extent, and the impact on yield is limited.
In the past, when the land was planted, there were no pesticides, and once the wheat was frost damaged, it would cause a reduction in yield, and in severe cases, the harvest might be lost. In addition, in the past, people lived by farming, and if the crops were not produced, they would face hunger, so there was a saying that "graves were raised everywhere".
The meaning expressed by this agricultural proverb is actually similar to the previous sentence, which is from the perspective of agricultural production. On the one hand, there is a cooling weather at this time, which is not conducive to the growth of crops. On the other hand, it indicates that the low temperature weather will continue for a certain period of time in the future, which will affect the normal return of crops and reduce the final yield.
In the past, people mainly relied on farming for a living, when everyone's crop yield was not high, and there was not much surplus food at home, they had to worry about their livelihood, so there was a saying that "everyone is worried about whiteheads".
Combined with the above 2 agricultural proverbs, it can be seen that if it snows on the day of entering **, it means that the weather is not very good, and from the perspective of agricultural planting, it is not conducive to the growth of crops, and frost damage may occur.
From the perspective of people's daily life, snowfall at this time is also unfavorable, such as people who need to go to work, the weather is cold and the road is slippery, and the traffic is not convenient. If you don't go to work, you will deduct your salary, and you will bear the danger of going to work. In addition, it was supposed to be the season to wear single clothes, but because of the snowfall, I had to wear thick clothes, so it was not easy to move.
Therefore, the saying that "snowfall is not a good sign" has a certain reference significance. And this year, there is snowfall in many places, I hope everyone will do a good job of keeping warm at the same time, and go out to travel safely.
