"Whether the spring cold comes or not, it depends on Jiujiu"Now the last nine of the nine songs is coming, which means that we will say goodbye to the cold winter and welcome the warmth of spring.
But last year, our 39 days, we experienced the first in history"The hottest three nine"After the beginning of spring, the coldest spring was ushered in, and the temperature dropped by about 5 to 6 degrees Celsius compared to the same period last year. Especially in"**"with"Ninety-nine"During these two solar terms, the temperature is unusually low.
So on the occasion of the advent of "Ninety-Nine", will the cold spring come as scheduled?
Looking back at the meteorological records for February 2024: most parts of our country experienced the most severe climate baptism in years as they experienced a cold spring.
In particular, the central and eastern regions, such as Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, northern Hunan, northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu, have been hit by widespread rain, snow and freezing weather.
In the midst of this cold, freezing rain has even occurred in some areas, which has had a serious impact on people's daily life, travel and agricultural production. At the same time, the temperature dropped by 4 6 ° C compared to last year, and in some places it fell to more than 8 ° C.
With the advent of the "99" season, the meteorological monitoring data released by the ** Meteorological Observatory shows that from March 1, a new round of cold air will continue to move south, bringing more obvious cooling to the temperature in the central and eastern regions of China.
As can be seen from the satellite image, this round of cold air is the same as the last time, and it still continues the characteristics of the previous cold wave. However, this time, the cold air covered the central and eastern parts of China, which made the temperature in many provinces continue to be low under the cover of rain.
From March 1 to March 4, that is, in the ninety-nine season, although most of the central and eastern parts of our country are mainly cloudy, rainy and snowy, but in the western part of our country, we are about to usher in heavy snowfall weather.
It can be seen that because this year's "99" season is on the 23rd day of the first month of the lunar calendar and March 3 of the solar calendar, and through weather monitoring, the weather in this year's "99" season is still unusually cold.
As the saying goes: "If the spring cold comes, just look at the ninety-nine" means:
Spring is coming, but whether there will be a cold phenomenon depends on the weather performance of this ninety-nine period. During this period, the cold air is stronger, and if the temperature continues to drop, it is possible to break the warm atmosphere of spring and make people feel the chill hit. Therefore, the weather changes in the ninety-nine period are of great significance for the spring temperature.
1. On the 99th day, the head smiled, and the ploughing cattle ran everywhere
In "Ninety-Nine Songs", the characteristics of the ninety-nine solar terms are clearly revealed: when the spring peach blossoms are in full bloom, ploughing cattle are all over the land.
Therefore, with the arrival of Jiujiu, the weather becomes warmer. At this time, the "Ninety-Nine" extreme sun, the cold melted, the earth warmed up, and spring really came.
"Sunset smile" refers to a sunny and warm day. Therefore, this phrase means:
When the season is over, if there is sunny, warm and pleasant weather, it is a sign that the weather will be unusually warm as well. The farmers no longer have to worry because they are busy farming, and the ploughing cattle will also run on the land at this time.
However, if there is rainy weather on this day, it means that there is a great possibility of "inverted spring cold" in the future. As a result, farmers are unable to work, they have to stay at home, and they miss their farming time, which is not ideal.
2. "The spring is not warm at the end of the ninth year, but it is cold at forty-five".
This sentence means that if it is still bitterly cold on the day of Jiujiu, then it also indicates that the cold days will continue for 45 days. This undoubtedly shows that the cold winter of Jiujiu may lead to the phenomenon of inverted spring cold.
So what are the implications of this situation?
Judging from this year's solar terms, the stinging solar terms appear exactly the day after the "out of nine", that is, after the "ninety-nine". We started from the sting, lasted for 45 days, and then came to the Qingming and Guyu seasons in the 24 solar terms.
For the Qingming and Guyu seasons, the temperature has gradually warmed up at this time, and it is a good time to sow melons and beans. However, if the weather is still unusually cold, it will be a very negative factor for the crop harvest.
3. "In mid-spring, it snows in February and ninety-nine, and the rain in Qingming Valley does not take off".
Spring, the season full of life and vitality, is divided into Meng Chun, Mid Chun and Late Spring according to the traditional division method. Among them, Meng Chun is bounded by the Yin month, Zhongchun falls in the Mao month, and late spring is the Chen month.
Converted to the lunar month, mid-spring is the time of February. However, from an agrometeorological point of view, only mid-spring corresponds to the characteristics of spring. At this time, the weather is moderate, the warm breeze is blowing, everything is recovering, and spring is full of joy.
There is a proverb that says, "If the weather is still snowing and the temperature is very low on the ninth day of the second lunar month, then the days ahead will be unusually cold."
Even in seasons such as the Qingming Festival and the Grain Festival, it is difficult for people to get rid of the heavy cotton clothes. This means that there may be a phenomenon of "inverted spring cold".
Although this is only an agricultural proverb, it reveals an important fact: some traditional agricultural proverbs still have a certain guiding significance for agricultural production.
Fourth, "Ninety-nine welcome snowflakes, Qingming is busy baking fire".
In the cold winter, if the snowflakes fall, it is a harbinger of spring, which means that the temperature in early spring will be unusually cold until the Qingming season.
The Qingming season is an important symbol of phenological changes in nature, when the sun is shining, the plants and trees are sprouting, and the flowers are vibrant.
Although the Qingming season is warm, if you warm up at this time, it means that the climate this spring is extremely abnormal, and the possibility of a cold spring will also increase.
As the saying goes: "The north wind blows in ninety-nine, and it is cold forty-five", which is the same as what the old people in the countryside said: "If the cold spring comes, just look at ninety-nine".
As the old proverb says, the special day of "Ninety-Nine" contains profound cultural heritage and wisdom crystallization. This concept, after thousands of years of careful consideration and careful observation by our ancestors, is not only a deep understanding of the laws of nature, but also a unique insight into the philosophy of life.
It is like a lamp of wisdom that illuminates our path and guides us to explore the mysteries of the world. On this special day, let us feel the charm of ancient wisdom and savor the beauty of life.
