When it comes to folk exquisiteness, it depends on the first month. Every year from the beginning of the first month of the first month to the end of the 30th day of the first month, there are different folk customs and exquisiteness every day. No, in the blink of an eye, the time has come to the twenty-first day of the first month, what is the importance of this day? Today, let's take a look at the 21st day of the first lunar month.
There is an old saying, "Give food or not eat, but look at the twenty-first day of the first month". This sentence refers to whether this year's grain harvest is good or not, that is, it depends on the weather on the 21st day of the first lunar month. If the weather on the 21st day of the first lunar month is clear and cloudless, that is, the sun is shining, then this year is likely to be a bumper harvest year; And if the weather is cloudy or rainy and snowy, it will be difficult to harvest the next crop.
Of course, in addition to this old saying, there are many folk agricultural proverbs, which also reflect the impact of the weather on the 21st day of the first lunar month on the growth of crops in the future.
First, it rained on the 21st, and it was still freezing when mid-spring came
This agricultural proverb says that if there is rain on the 21st day of the first lunar month, then even if spring comes to the middle of spring, the temperature is still low and even very freezing. This means that there is a high probability that the inverted spring cold will occur. Once there is a cold spring, then the crop yield will also be reduced.
Second, on the 21st day of the first lunar month, the wheat was full of joy
This agricultural proverb says that if the weather is sunny on the 21st day of the first lunar month, then this year's wheat will grow well, the wheat will bloom happily, and the granaries of farmers and friends will be full, which also indicates that this year is a bumper harvest year and a good year.
Third, I am not afraid of the 21st day of sunshine, but I am afraid of the 21st day of rain
The literal meaning of this agricultural proverb is that it is not terrible to have a sunny day, but it is a rainy day, which also speaks of the impact of the weather on the 21st day of the first lunar month on the farmers and friends. Sunny days are a good year, and rainy days are not conducive to crops.
In addition, we all know that in the past, peasant friends relied on the sky to eat, and when they encountered a good year, they would not starve, but on the contrary, they would starve, so there was a saying that whether to eat or not depends on the sky. For farmers, in order to have a good year, the custom of praying for blessings on this day has been formed.
And because the 21st day of the first lunar month, it is close to the sting, and the winter wheat at this time has also begun to turn green, so some places also call this day "wheat day", that is, "wheat's birthday". In order to celebrate the birthday of wheat, there is also a saying that there will be a wedding Gu and a sacrifice to the wheat god, which means that the wheat can grow vigorously in the new year, which conveys people's expectations for the future wind and rain and a bumper harvest of grains.
Not only that, but this day is also the traditional folk "Ground Piercing Festival". The Ground Piercing Festival is actually corresponding to the "Mending Heaven Festival", which commemorates Nuwa Niangniang, and the customs are also relatively similar, all of which are throwing pancakes, but one is thrown to the roof, and the other is thrown to the ground, which means that they are all yearning for a better life in the future, and praying for the safety and success of their families.
In short, the twenty-first day of the first lunar month is also very important for farmers. After all, this day not only determines the future growth of crops, but is also a traditional folk festival.
