What does "two dragons control water, eleven oxen plough the fields, and ten people share grain" mean?

As a big country with a history of 5,000 years, our ancestors left many things worth learning and exploring for our descendants. When it comes to history and culture, the first thing that comes to mind is poetry and songs, which began in the Tang Dynasty and reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At this time, many famous literati also appeared. There are many things mentioned in textbooks now, but they are only widely circulated among high-level people. In ancient times, scholars were valued, so they were valued. In the eyes of ordinary people, the most important thing is a proverb that is helpful to life and agriculture. After all, ancient times was an agricultural society, and China people paid attention to practice and accumulated many proverbs for future generations.

Of course, many people will think this sentence is a superstition of feudal thought, but if you carefully taste it, you will find that these words of our ancestors were not uttered out of thin air, which is very reasonable. Just as old people attach great importance to the imperial calendar, they will look ahead when doing important things and choose a suitable day for weddings, funerals and weddings. In the past, we only thought the imperial calendar was mysterious, but we were afraid not to follow it. Therefore, many people now find a partner to get married.

Many people in rural areas know that old people often say something about the year of 2008. For example, I think some people have heard the saying: two dragons control the water, eleven cows plow the fields, and ten people share the bread. Maybe many people are puzzled and don't know much about this sentence when they see it. In fact, this sentence comes from the Imperial Calendar. Now let's explain.

As we all know, people always think of dragons when it comes to precipitation in the minds of the ancients. The second day of the first month in 2020 happens to be the date of the year of dry support, and the dragon corresponds to Chen, so we have the experience of our ancestors to observe the weather. If there are many dragons, it means that the weather is not very dry and there will be floods. But if the constellation is that two dragons will control the water, it means that 2020 will be very smooth.

In ancient times, it was a farming society, and people naturally focused on agriculture. When agricultural technology is underdeveloped, cattle have become the best right-hand man in people's minds, and cattle can plow the fields well. The 11th day of the first month in 2020 is ugly day, and ugliness means cow, so eleven cows are ploughing the fields. More cows are naturally beneficial to the fields, indicating that there is sufficient labor, so the crops will get better and better and the harvest will be more. If cows,

On the surface, it can be seen that the last ten people shared a cake. In ancient times, when people's harvest was not high and their output was low, they easily went hungry. In other words, there is a sign that ten people share the cake. Even if the harvest is good, there will not be many people left in the end, which will not change the status quo. Therefore, it seems that the harvest next year is not very good, and there is not much food.

This is the experience summed up by ordinary people relying on their own wisdom. Now that agriculture is developed, there are many mechanical tools, which makes farmers relaxed a lot, so this sentence is not suitable for today's society, but we should pay due attention to it. After all, this sentence is not unreasonable.
