Today is March 3 of the solar calendar, the twenty-third day of the first month of the lunar calendar, this day is not an ordinary day. Why? Because according to the number nine, today is the day of entering the ninety-nine, that is, the beginning of the last nine of the cold day. Did you know?
Counting nine is counting from nineteen to ninety-nine, and it takes a total of ninety-nine eighty-one days. From the first day of the Winter Solstice Festival to today, March 3, seventy-two days have passed, and today is exactly the seventy-third day of the nine, that is, the first day of the ninety-nine. It's a day to remember, don't forget.
Speaking of this ninety-nine, it was from March 3rd to March 11th, a full 9 days. Today is the day when the door opens. This day of entering the ninety-nine is very special. According to the ancestors, when it comes to ninety-nine, the weather begins to warm up, ninety-nine plus nineteen, the time for ploughing cattle to walk everywhere is coming, and spring ploughing production is about to begin.
This spring, but the plan of the year lies in the spring, and the farmers have to get up early and work hard in the dark, and they are looking forward to a good year with a bumper harvest. Sometimes, farmers will pin their hopes for a bumper harvest on the gods, asking the gods if the harvest is good this year, and also worship the gods, praying for good weather and good harvest, and six or six good fortunes. However, for some special days, the weather changes can also be a good indication of the year.
No, there is an old saying that "look at the sky early at the beginning of ninety-nine, and you don't need to ask the gods for a year". What does this mean? In fact, the meaning of this sentence is that on the first day of the ninety-nine entry, we can predict what the year will be like by observing different weather conditions.
In this way, we don't have to ask the gods if the year is good. It can be seen that this day of entering the ninety-nine was very valued in ancient times, and the ancestors also summarized a lot of information about the weather on this day.
Then today is the day of entering the ninety-nine, how should we look at the sky? Let's take a look at what the agricultural proverb says: "Ninety-nine is warm, and the ploughing cattle are busy."
The meaning of this sentence is that if the weather is very warm in the ninety-ninth year, it means that this spring will be very warm, and the earth will spring faster. In this way, the farmers have to be busy with spring ploughing. And farming is where the hope of a bumper harvest lies, which also shows that this year's year will be better.
Specifically, "Ninety-nine Warm Baking" here is talking about the time of Ninety-nine, that is, today, March 3rd, if it is a sunny day and the sun is big, then the temperature will rise relatively quickly, and the feeling of warmth will come to the face.
Farmers especially like this kind of warm weather, because in this way, spring plowing and spring sowing are not far away. They very much hope that there will be a warm and good weather in the ninety-ninth time, because in this way they can ensure the smooth progress of spring ploughing.
And "ploughing cattle are busy" here is the scene of farmers busy when they are carrying out spring ploughing and production. The busy cattle are actually saying that the farmers themselves are very busy, they are busy plowing, busy sowing, and busy looking forward to a good harvest. Although they are busy and tired, they are very happy in their hearts, because these are the hope of a good harvest. What they are most afraid of is that the cold weather will cause them to miss the agricultural time, and the work will be wasted.
It can be seen how important the sunny and warm weather is for farmers, because it is directly related to their harvest and livelihood in a year. If the weather is sunny and warm during the 99th period, then the farmers will be able to carry out spring plowing and production smoothly and lay a good foundation for a bumper harvest.
But then again, although the warm weather during the 99th period is a good sign for the farmers, if there is a cold weather of "99 does not bake the fire and does not plough the fields", it is a different matter.
The meaning of this agricultural proverb is that when entering Jiujiu, if the weather is so cold that people can't stretch out their hands, then the peasants have to stay at home to warm themselves and cannot carry out spring ploughing and production. This kind of weather is very unfavorable for farmers, because it will directly affect the progress of spring plowing and the growth of crops.
This day is an important day for farmers, they can observe the weather conditions on this day to ** how this year's year is so as to make corresponding preparations and arrangements.
If the weather is sunny and warm, then they can start spring ploughing and production with confidence and boldness, and if the weather is cold on this day, then they must take measures to protect themselves from the cold weather in advance.
This day of entering 99 is not only an ordinary day, but also an important moment that indicates the good or bad of the year. I hope you will pay attention to it and make your own plans and preparations by observing the weather conditions on this day. At the same time, we also hope that farmers can smoothly carry out spring plowing and production in this spring season and lay a solid foundation for a bumper harvest!
