If you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you won't have an in-depth interpretation of the revelation of the 21st day of the first month
Believing is true, and not believing is nothing, judging from the meaning of the 21st day of the first lunar month.
In the rural areas of Huaxian County, January 21 is a relatively solemn day, and from this day on, the farmers will begin to get busy and start planting crops. However, farmers should also look at the weather conditions before deciding on a planting method.
So, there is a local saying: "Before eleven o'clock in the evening, check the weather." ”
The so-called "harvest or not" refers to the harvest of the year. "Look at the sky before blackjack" refers to the weather conditions on the morning of the 21st day of the first lunar month. Farmers in rural Huaxian County generally believe that on the morning of December 21, if the weather is fine, then this year's crops will be abundant; Conversely, if the weather is good, or if there is bad weather, the crop will be reduced that year.
So, where did the agricultural saying "you can see the sun in twenty-one days" come from? According to legend, this statement originates from a folklore in Guhua County.
Legend has it that a long time ago, Huaxian was a very poor place, and a farmer who worked for a year might not be able to support a family. In the spring of one year, the farmers of Huaxian County, as usual, began preparations for spring ploughing. However, on January 21 of that year, it suddenly rained heavily. This made the farmers very happy, as they thought that this rain would lead to a good harvest of crops. So, they braved the heavy rain and continued to work.
It's been a rewarding year. The farmers were very happy, believing that it was a gift from heaven. Since then, every year on the morning of the 21st day of the first lunar month, farmers have to carefully observe the weather to determine which day of the year to plant the seeds. They also left their own observation and ** method, which is "the autumn equinox has not been harvested, and the twenty-one year old looks at the sky".
Although the legend has some mystical overtones, it reflects the people's awe of nature and their desire for a bountiful harvest. At that time, there was no advanced technology, and it was only possible to determine the growth of crops by observing the weather and some other celestial phenomena. Although this kind of ** may not be accurate, it can at least reassure farmers and allow them to do their jobs more carefully.
Today, there is still a saying in rural Huaxian County: "You can see the sun in the morning at the age of 21". Although science and technology are now developed and various weather instruments can be used to accurately improve the weather, there are still many farmers who believe that from the 21st day of the first month, they can calculate the harvest of this year's crops.
However, with the progress of modern agriculture and science and technology, the influence of the agricultural proverb "look at the sun in the morning of the 21st" has gradually weakened. But after all, it is a culture, a tradition, and a heritage. Clarifying the origin and significance of this statement is very necessary to understand the history and culture of rural Huaxian County, enhance the awe of nature and the desire for a good harvest.
There are many other sayings and folklore in rural Huaxian, besides"See the sky before the age of 21"Beyond. During the autumn equinox, every household is busy, and there is no snow before the Qingming Festival, and in the rainy season, all grains are born. The sayings and customs mentioned above are a set of effective methods summed up by the people of Huaxian County through collective wisdom and practice in the long years. Understanding the historical origin and significance of Huaxian County has certain reference value for understanding its production and life, society and economy.
To sum up, the phrase "the autumn harvest is not an adult, and the sun can only be seen at dawn" seems simple on the surface, but in fact it contains a deep cultural connotation and historical background. Clarifying the origin and significance of this statement will help us better understand the history and humanity of rural Huaxian, as well as the lives and livelihoods of rural residents. However, we should also realize how precious and precious China's excellent traditional culture is.
