The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the second important festival after the Spring Festival. The old man often said that after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Spring Festival is officially over. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the first full moon night of the new year, it is called "Shangyuan" in Taoism. Therefore, the Lantern Festival is also known as the "Shangyuan Festival".
The ancients often said: "If you want to eat, look at the Lantern Festival", because there was no weather forecast in ancient times, people would predict the harvest of crops in the coming year through some important solar terms.
As the saying goes:"There are 3 fears on the fifteenth day of the first month".What do you mean, exactly? Does it make sense? Let's take a look!
Regarding the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is such a saying in the countryside: "The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is cold and miserable, and the peasants plough the fields and wear clothes." This sentence is easy to understand, that is, if the weather is cold on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is likely to rain during this time. The cold weather, coupled with the rain, requires the countryside to be clothed, which is not conducive to agricultural activities.
At the critical moment of spring plowing and spring sowing, if it rains frequently, it will affect the cultivation work and make agricultural production difficult. Also, the cold weather is not conducive to plant growth.
There is a saying in the countryside: "The fifteenth day of the first month is sunny, and there is little rain in spring", for farmers, they are afraid of both waterlogging and drought. If the sun is shining on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it indicates that there may be a lack of rain in spring.
It is often said that "spring rain is as expensive as oil", and spring is the time when crops grow, and if it is too dry, crops will not grow well. Therefore, what farmers want most is to "have the wind and rain go well", so that they can usher in a good year.
In the past, I often heard the old man chanting: "Everyone is tired of the Lantern Festival rain, and the Lantern Festival has no rain and there is a drought in the spring." If it rains on the day of the Lantern Festival, it will be annoying because it will affect the lantern viewing activity. However, if there is no rain during the Lantern Festival, it indicates that there will be insufficient rain in spring, and there may be a drought and water shortage. For spring ploughing and spring sowing, it is not a good thing.
As the rural saying goes: "The clouds cover the moon on the fifteenth day of the first month, and the water must cover the year", if the night of the fifteenth day of the first month, if the clouds are thick, it covers the moon. This indicates that flooding may occur in the spring, which means that there may be too much rain in the coming year, which is not a good year.
Therefore, if on the night of the Lantern Festival, there is a situation where dark clouds cover the moon. It is usually a sign of a heavy downpour, and if there is too much rain, it is prone to flooding and crop damage.
According to the traditional thinking of the countryside, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month "snow lights" is the best. If there is snow on the 15th day of the first lunar month, it is considered to be the best weather. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "Ruixue is a good year", and the snow will fall on the fifteenth day of the first month, and the new year will be a bumper harvest.
Judging the climate of a year by the weather on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month can only be regarded as empirical, and there is no scientific basis. Even if there is a flood or drought, the level of science and technology is much more advanced than in ancient times, and the damage can be minimized. In many places, greenhouses are used for cultivation, and even in droughts, groundwater can be drilled to irrigate. If the weather is smooth throughout the year, it is naturally the best.
