On February 20, 2024, there will be heavy snow in the sky, and the ancients said that the snow in the first month of the month, what are the disadvantages?
It is the first month of spring to pick up, and everything is about to recover. However, it has snowed in many places recently, and as the old saying goes, the moon is not afraid of rain, and the snow in the first month needs to be prevented.
What are the drawbacks of snow in this New Year? Leave two sayings and listen to the breakdown today. First, the snow fell in the middle of the first month, and the landlord also begged for food. According to common sense, the landlord should have a rich family and a worry-free diet, why would he beg? This indicates that there may have been extreme weather that year, which reduced grain production, and even the landlords had no food and had to beg.
Is this an exaggeration? Definitely. For example, some local early rapeseed rape, which is blooming, has been crushed and frozen by heavy snow, and this year's rapeseed production reduction has been determined. Second, the snow has not melted in the first month, and the cattle are idle in ninety-nine.
This proverb is easy to understand, that is, the snow is heavy in the first month and the temperature is low, until 99 o'clock, the ploughing ox does not need to plough the field.
As the saying goes, ninety-nine ploughing cattle go everywhere, why don't cattle plough the fields at this time? Because the older generation believes that after the heavy snow in the first month, accompanied by cold air, the ground is difficult to reclaim, even if the cultivation and sowing, the low temperature also affects the germination and growth of seeds, and the cold air is not conducive to the growth of overwintering crops, and will also affect farmers' spring plowing and spring planting. On the one hand, it affects the growth of crops, on the other hand, spring plowing and spring planting are delayed, and the grain harvest of the year may be reduced with a high probability.
To sum up the above two sayings, it can be seen that the older generation believes that the snow in the first month is unfavorable and may affect the grain harvest of the year. However, these sayings are regional, and they don't have to be true when they are only told in a story.
I don't know what else you say about the second half of the first month? Welcome to share in the comment area!
