"When it comes to the Feast of Shock, the plough cannot rest. ”
In a blink of an eye, two months have passed in 2024, and on March 5, there will be another extremely important solar term for farmers, that is, the sting.
As the previous proverb says, when it comes to the sting, because the temperature has risen, the rain has increased, and the farmers have begun to enter the busy phase of the new year, and there is a busy scene everywhere from south to north.
Since spring plowing and spring planting are coming, rain must be indispensable. How much rain has it been this spring? The older generation said that "the spring drought is not drought, and the sting looks at the sky early", which means that there is not much rain in spring, and whether there will be drought.
So what do you think of it? Will there be more or less rain this spring? Let's take a look.
The sting is the third solar term in the traditional 24 solar terms in our country, the time is around March 5 or 6 of the Gregorian calendar every year, when the sun reaches the ecliptic longitude of 345 degrees, it is the sting. And when the solar term is stung, one of the biggest features is that the spring thunder begins to sound. The ancients believed that it was the spring thunder that woke up the dormant insects. And the ancients also summed up some rules through this characteristic.
The meaning of the previous proverb is that before the solar term arrives, there is already a natural phenomenon of thunder, which often indicates that the rain will come early in the spring of this year, and the rain is very sufficient, because the next 45 days are rainy weather.
There is a similar proverb: "Before the thunder strikes, there is no sun for forty-eight days." The message of this proverb is that if the thunder is heard before the sting, then the sun will not be seen for the next 48 days, that is, it will be rainy.
These proverbs also reflect the ancient peasants' keen observation of the relationship between celestial phenomena and climate change. The appearance of thunder often indicates the enhancement of warm and humid airflow and the increase of precipitation, which is undoubtedly an important signal for the growth of crops.
Contrary to the meaning of the previous sentence, the ancients believed that if the stinging solar term arrived, but there was no thunder, but the thunder sounded for a period of time after the stinging solar term, this is not a good sign, indicating that the spring rain will come later, or even the spring rain is less, and there may be rain after spring.
In many areas this year, thunder has begun to sound before the stinging solar term, especially in some places in the north. And the old man thought that this was a good thing, and it was better than thunder after the stinging solar terms.
The ancients also believed that if there was a strong northwest wind blowing on the day of the solar term, it was not a good omen, and it often indicated that the weather would be cold for a while, and it might even last until mid-May.
There is a similar proverb: "Stir up the earth, and pour it cold forty-five." "The idea is that if the wind is so strong that it blows all the dirt on the ground, the weather may continue to be cold for the next 45 days. This is also a reminder for farmers to pay close attention to weather changes and adjust their farming activities in a timely manner.
This proverb is a good hope for the abundant rain in the stinging season. If there is plenty of rain and thunder during the sting season, this is a good sign that the wheat harvest will be very abundant, and the ears of wheat will be piled up like mounds.
In fact, when the solar term is startled, the farmers think that "it should rain but not sunny", that is, rain and thunder on the day of the solar term are good signs, but the weather is not good, which is not only the experience of farmers, but also has a certain scientific basis.
Because the sting season is also of great significance in agricultural production. In the northern region, winter wheat is starting to turn green and is in dire need of green water. Moisture** during this period is essential for the growth of wheat, and a lack of water can lead to reduced wheat yields or even death.
In the Jiangnan region, wheat has been jointed, rape has begun to flower, and the demand for water and fertilizer during this period is also relatively large. Therefore, rain at this time can not only moisten the land, but also be very beneficial to these overwintering crops.
Warm reminder, a new round of cooling rain is coming again, and it seems that this year's spring rain is still relatively sufficient. It's just that the temperature is a little low, so you have to be prepared! **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan
