What does it mean to divide the cake among seven people in Niu Geng?

"Ten cows plow the fields and seven people share the bread" means there is not enough food.

Literally, this sentence means that seven people share a cake. There must be fewer cakes and more people. It can be seen that the family has less food and a large population, and may not have enough to eat. In the era of farming civilization, cattle, as a participant in farmers' farming activities, play an important role.

In ancient China, Chen, Ugliness and C were used to predict the year. Usually, on the first day of the first lunar month, how many people share the cake? Looking through the calendar in 2023, we found that the first C sunrise was on the seventh day of the first lunar month, so it was called "seven people sharing cakes". When seven people come to eat a piece of cake, there will definitely be an embarrassing situation in which there are more people and fewer cakes. It shows that in this year, the average food allocated to everyone is still relatively small, and there may be famine.

Enlightenment from "Ten Niu Geng Tian Qi People Divide Bread"

Old people in rural areas say that 2023 is "Yi Long will control water, ten cows will plow the fields, and seven people will share the cakes". Due to the low productivity of ancient agriculture and the lack of weather forecast, people rely on long-term farming experience day after day to predict the year.

Now that we have the weather forecast, we can know the weather in the next few days, so that we can arrange our daily farming. Therefore, it is suggested that you pay more attention to the weather forecast every day and arrange your farm work in time, which is more scientific and safe.
