Not afraid of 20 sunshine, but afraid of 20 showers What is the sign of the 20th rain in the first month?
Twenty days without alarm, twenty days without disaster, the first twenty days of rain, what a sign? ”
You are not afraid of the sun on the 20th, and you should be afraid of the rain on the 20th, because there is a sign of rain on January 20th.
Introduction: "Twenty years old is not afraid, the most afraid of twenty years old", is this a sign of rain?
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the 29th day of the second lunar month, the twentieth day of the Lunar New Year. This day is special, the Chinese call it"Festival Day"。According to legend, this day is the Nuwa Mending Heaven Festival, and there is a custom of pancakes on this day.
Legend has it that the water god Gonggong betrayed the fire god Zhurong, and when the attack failed, the heavenly pillar broke, and the sky and the earth cracked, triggering an unprecedented catastrophe.
Seeing that there were many sufferings in the world, the goddess of creation used stones to mend the heavens, so she used five-colored stones as materials on Tiantai Mountain to repair the cracks in the heavens. Later, the sky was restored, but the earth had not yet stabilized, because the Gonggong smashed the Buzhou Mountain, and the four poles had no support.
Later, the witch saw a giant sea turtle making waves in the water. The witch cut the turtle's four feet into four pillars and used them as pillars to support the collapsed half of the sky, stabilize the four directions, and restore balance between heaven and earth. As a result, the sky stopped cracking and the ground became more stable. The flood receded, the beasts of prey were subdued, and the people returned to a peaceful life.
There is a saying in the Ansai Chronicle: "Every year on January 20th, every household eats pancakes, and this festival is called the "Dingtian Festival". Its implication is that on the twentieth day of the second month of the lunar calendar, every household must put a pancake, weighing"Fix the day", and use this to commemorate Nuwa's dedication to heaven. In some areas, people toss crepes on the roofs of houses as a sign of this"Fix the day"。In this way, it is to pray that the house will not leak when it rains, that is, the house will not leak, and the country will be better if the weather is good.
The 20th day of the second lunar month is not only the day to worship Nuwa to mend the sky, but also the ancient people's prayer for good weather. Crops have been severely affected due to climate change. In ancient times, due to low productivity, every sunny or rainy day, crop yields would be reduced, and even famines.
Our country is a country with a long history, and our ancestors have accumulated a lot of valuable experience in long-term production and work. On the twentieth day of the second month of the lunar calendar, in our village, there is an ancient saying called "Twenty years old without fear, twenty years old without worry", which means that we don't have to worry about the sunshine on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, but on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, "people have good fortune and misfortune"! What are the signs of rain? Let's take a look at this saying.
This proverb says that if there is a rain on the 20th day of the first month of the lunar calendar, according to the ancients, it will last for a long time. "Forty-five rainy days" does not mean that there will be rain for the next 45 days, but only that it will last for a long time.
As the proverb goes:"Spring rain is as expensive as oil. "Spring rains are good for wheat growth and sowing, but continuous rainfall is very bad for farmers. The cloudy climate in the spring caused low temperatures in the spring, which is highly likely"Pour the spring cold"。
As the saying goes, "It rains on the 20th of January, and the sun rises on the 9th of March". The meaning is similar to the previous paragraph: if it rains on the twentieth day of the lunar month, it means that the third month of the lunar calendar is mostly rainy weather, that is, there are only a few sunny days, that is, the temperature in March will be colder.
The saying says that if there are cloudy conditions in the year, then according to the experience of predecessors, there will be a relatively cold climate during spring ploughing, which means that there will be a cold spring in spring.
When the spring warms up, the temperature drops significantly, which is called the inverted spring cold. If the temperature drops significantly in mid-spring or late autumn, it is a severe spring cold. The spring cold is caused by a persistently humid climate or cold air intrusion. The late spring cold can cause the germinated wheat to suffer frost, cause seed rot, and cause a large area of fruit to fall off, and the late spring cold can greatly reduce the crop yield.
There is a good saying: "There will be spring rain on February 20, and there will be clothes at the beginning of spring." In other words, if it rains on the twentieth day, it will be cooler in September, and the people will still have to wear thick clothing. On September 9, the first half of March, when the weather warms up, farmers will also start spring ploughing, but if it is reversed, they will have to put on cotton jackets and sow seeds. If it is a cold spring, the farmer may have to put on a cotton jacket and sow seeds.
This saying says that on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, if the sky is clear, according to the ancients, this season will be the warmest year of the year, which is extremely beneficial to the germination of seeds and the growth of seedlings.
According to the ancients, if the weather is clear on the 20th day of the first month of the lunar calendar, it means that the wind and rain are good and the grains are abundant, which is exactly what the farmers are looking forward to.
In any case, the twentieth day of the second lunar month is the day when the witch mends the sky. According to the ancients, January 20 was a sunny day, not rain. If it is rainy, it means that the subsequent cloudy days will be longer, and it is more likely to usher in the cold spring; If the 20th is a sunny day, it means that the weather will be better throughout the year.
What was the local climate like on January 20th? Your comments are welcome.
