Reading guide:
I often hear the older generation say: "There are no nine people in the first month of the first month, and there are no nine hungry dogs in February". What exactly does this "nine" refer to? Is there "nine" in February this yearNine, as the largest yang number, it is an important node of yin and yang transformation, we often say, the pole of things must be reversed, of which every nine is a variable.
From this old saying, we can also understand that this nine definitely does not refer to a common year or a leap year, but more to "count nine", because only in "counting nine" can we feel the warmth and cold, and can we truly understand the transformation of yin and yang.
Since the number nine is mentioned here, let's first understand, what is the number nine? Liang Dynasty Zongyi's "Jing Chu Years Chronicles" wrote: "The number of winter solstice days and nine hundred and eighty-one days is commonly used, which is the end of the cold." According to the folk saying, counting nine from the winter solstice, counting every nine days is counted as a "nine", until the eighty-one days of "ninety-nine" then the weather begins to warm, and there will be a situation where nine peach blossoms bloom.
According to a law of nature, the time of "out of nine" is generally not in the first month, or in February, so we can take a look, is there a "nine" in February this year?
From the point of view of the time of counting nine: 19, December 22, 2023 December 30, 2023; 29: December 31, 2023 January 8, 2024; 39: January 9, 2024 January 17, 2024; Forty-nine: January 18, 2024 January 26, 2024; 59: January 27, 2024 February 4, 2024; 69: February 5, 2024 February 13, 2024; 79: February 14, 2024 February 22, 2024; **February 23, 2024 March 2, 2024; Ninety-nine: March 3, 2024 March 11, 2024.
Jing Chu Years Chronicles has already told us that the winter solstice day counts nine, and so on, the time to count to ninety-nine is exactly March 11, 2024. From the perpetual calendar, we can also directly deduce that the fourth day of the second month is the last day of the ninety-nine, that is, there are nine in February. And among the ninety-nine, there are also the stinging festival and the dragon head festival.
What does the saying "no nine people in the first month of the first month do not worry, and no nine hungry dogs in February" mean?
If the number nine ends in the first month, it is also called the first month has nine, then people do not have to worry, because this is a law of nature, the weather will be warm and cold, will also conform to the changes of the solar terms, people in the planting of crops, it is also easier to adjust the wind and rain, on the contrary, if February is not nine, then it means that the year is not very good.
Because in February, there are two very important solar terms, that is, the sting, the agricultural proverb has always been "to the stinging festival, the hoe does not stop", "the peach blossoms bloom at the end of the nine, spring ploughing can not rest", out of the nine generally after the sting, at this time the weather temperature rises, which happens to be a good time for farming.
On the contrary, if there is no ninth in February of the lunar calendar, or there is an early nine, that is, the time of the ninth is not in February, whether it is postponed or advanced, it is not conducive to the growth of crops, because it is necessary to conform to a change in solar terms, and crops can have a good harvest.
Therefore, "there are no nine people in the first month of the first month, and there are no nine hungry dogs in February", which means that in February of the lunar calendar, it happens to be out of nine, when it warms up, the weather is not warm at this time, but it is cold, then it is particularly easy to appear in a situation of spring cold, and in the end, it will affect the growth of crops.
Of course, nowadays, people don't pay attention to these anymore, and these also have a certain regionality, and they don't apply to all places, so we can understand it as one. **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan —The End—
