Looking at the sky early, how much do you know about the rain?
This is the third solar term in spring, which marks the awakening of hibernation animals by thunder and the beginning of the earth to warm up. In previous years, it was on the 25th day of the first lunar month, which was earlier than in previous years. I don't know if it has anything to do with the fact that this year is a leap year?
When it comes to stinging, you probably think of thunder and rain. That's right, the weather changes frequently during the sting season, and there is more rain. Our ancestors left behind a lot of proverbs about stings and rain, so let's take a look at what they all said.
The sting rain showers the head, and the forty-five days are stormy", this sentence says that if it rains on this day, then there will be a lot of rain in the future. Spring rains are as expensive as oil, which is good for the growth of crops. Rain is abundant, the soil is moist, the seeds germinate easily, and the crops grow vigorously.
There is also a proverb in agriculture that says, "When the rain startles the head, the farmer is good at farming." This phrase expresses a similar meaning, and the rain during the sting season is a good sign for farmers. The crops in the fields are well watered and grow quickly, making it easier for farmers to have a good harvest.
On the other hand, what does it mean if it is a sunny day? There is a proverb that tells us: "The sun is big, and the drought is until the end of March". In other words, if the sun is shining on this day, the following days are likely to be dry and rainless, and will last until the end of the third lunar month. This is not a good situation for crops, and farmers need to prepare in advance and water their crops to ensure they can grow smoothly.
In addition, there is a proverb that says: "If you are stung by thunder, there will be a lot of rain in three dogs." This sentence tells us that if there is thunder during the sting season, there will be a lot of rain on dog days. Dog days are the hottest time of summer, when crops grow quickly and have the greatest need for water. At this time, there is plenty of rain, which is very beneficial for the growth of crops.
What a wonderful way to change the weather during the stinging season! Through these agricultural proverbs left by our ancestors, we can have a general understanding of the future weather trend. Of course, now we have more advanced scientific and technological means to improve the weather, but these agricultural proverbs are still an important reference for us to understand nature and conform to nature.
Finally, let's look forward to a good year with good weather and abundant crops! At the same time, I wish my family a good harvest.
