The old man said that next year will be "eight dragons to control water, eight people to hoe three." What do you mean? There are many dragons, okay?

Will there be a lot of rain next year? In 2022, it was "eight dragons controlling water, eight people and three hoes". Do you know when the lunar calendar is next year? I've arranged it for you. 2022 is the average year of the Gregorian calendar, with a total of 365 days and 53 weeks. The lunar calendar is the year of the tiger, and there is no leap month in 2022. Therefore, there are 355 days in the lunar calendar, starting from 0 1 day in February 2022 to 0 1 day in October 2023.

Interested friends can also find relevant content online. It's getting closer and closer to 2022. In ancient times and now, some elderly people will use old calendars to judge the year of next year. The old man said that next year will be "eight dragons to control water, eight people to hoe three." What does he mean? There are many dragons, okay?

This method of predicting the year is actually all the prediction methods in some old calendars. Now the climate is different from before. Now it is gray, and the stars you can see at night feel much less than when you were a child.

We all use weather forecast to predict the weather in the next few days. Before every cold wave or other bad weather comes, we will issue early warning information. But in ancient times, there was no such advanced forecasting equipment and technology, and heavenly stems and earthly branches was used to calculate the date.

Everyone knows that ten things are done in heaven. They are "A, B, C, D, E, Self, G, Xin, Man and Ghost". In addition, there are twelve earthly branches, namely Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai. I don't want to explain what this means. In short, it is used to calculate the date.

In ancient times, the heavenly stems were accompanied by earthly branches, and the cycle was repeated. We can look up 60 of them ourselves, which is what we often hear as "6 1 jiazi".

We often say "dragon", that is to say, from the beginning of the first day, the first day of the year appears, just a few dragons control the water. The first "Chenri" of the lunar calendar this year corresponds to the eighth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, so this year is "Eight Dragons Governing Water".

We ancient people thought that dragons were in charge of rain, so we judged the year by the number of dragons. According to some people's understanding, if there are too many dragons and it rains too hard, there may be floods. In fact, on the contrary, more dragons will lead to drought. There is an old saying that "too many daughters-in-law eat late" and "too many people are chaotic and too many people are busy", which means not working, counting on each other and shirking each other. It means that the years are not good and drought may occur in some places.

In fact, this is just an inference of the older generation or a summary of some long-term experience. It's hard to say whether it's accurate. But you can look at the situation of 202 1, the older generation is not sure!

202 1 the older generation said that "two dragons control water, six people share bread, and eleven cows plow the fields". In other words, the first "Chenri" of Lunar 202 1 is the second day of the first month, and the "ugly cow" is the eleventh day of the first month, so it is called "two dragons control the water and eleven cows plow the fields"!

As the old saying goes, "There are many dragons, few dragons are waterlogged, and five dragons and six dragons are in good weather." You see, there were many floods in 20021year, and corn in some areas was soaked in water and could not be harvested, which also led to the late sowing of wheat. The prediction of the older generation was really accurate. However, it is not absolute, it may be a coincidence!

Let's take a look at "eleven cows plowing the fields", which means that there are too many cows! Some say yes, some say no, but there are also some old sayings, such as "the year of ox and horse is good for ploughing" and "the year of ox is good for ploughing". This region is different, and its meaning is also very different.

Some time ago, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs also issued the notice of "Response to La Nina's scientific disaster prevention and stable supply plan this winter and next spring". It is clearly stated in the notice that it is expected that a weak to moderate intensity La Ni? a event will occur in winter, which will lead to frequent extreme weather events. Nowadays, the extreme cooling in winter, next spring and drought in some areas in winter and spring make the task of agricultural disaster prevention and mitigation arduous. This is somewhat consistent with the "eight dragons to control water" and the drought predicted by the older generation.

This is the same as "six people sharing cakes". The cake is homophonic with "C", while the homonym of people is "Ren", which means that the first few days are "Ren Day" or several people. Moreover, in ancient times, Sunday represented hoes. Then we can check that this year's non-Chen day is the eighth day of the first month, and Dinghai day is the third day of the first month. Therefore, the old man said that 2022 is "eight people and three hoes", with many hoes working and few hoes working. It can also be understood that there is less work in the field and so many people are not needed!

"Eight people and three hoes" means that there are few weeds in the field, three people do it and the other five have a rest. However, some elderly people say that it is because the weather is dry and weeds can't grow, which means that there may be a drought next year, which is in line with the "eight dragons to control water" and also means that there may be a drought next year.

Whether what the old man said is reasonable or not, we can't judge, they are all literally understood, not necessarily right. We should pay more attention to the weather forecast and take corresponding measures before the bad weather comes.

There will be cold wave weather in the next few days, and the meteorological department has also issued an early warning. We still have to take anti-freezing measures to avoid losses!

Strong cooling has an impact on our winter wheat, garlic, spinach, leek, oil wheat, coriander, lettuce and so on. We can increase the temperature and prevent freezing injury by spraying antifreeze, adding heating blocks to crops in the shed and adding two layers of film.

We don't need to buy antifreeze. We can prepare at home. It is suggested to use 15 kg water +50 g urea +80~ 100 g glucose +3 g brassinolide +3-5 g urethane source powder.

Low temperature is not without benefits, it can freeze some germs and eggs to death, and heavy snow is beneficial to the winter of wheat and other crops. Don't worry too much about the cold at this time. What you are worried about is that it will be cold after the year, but it will be bad!

On the lunar calendar in 2022, there was a display that read: Eight dragons control water, eight people hoe three. What does this mean? Just tell me what you used to hear from the old people in the village!

Next year will be "eight dragons for water control, eight people for three hoes". The cause of these eight dragons, eight people and three hoes is not clear to the cultivators, but only outlines the relationship between this statement and farming.

The dragon was appointed by the Jade Emperor in the sky to be responsible for the rain on the earth. Once the crops are in urgent need of rain, the Jade Emperor will assign the Dragon Son, who is responsible for precipitation, to bring rain to the earth and relieve the drought in time.

Old people often say: more water control by dragons is often prone to dry weather. Why? There is an old saying on the ground that too many chickens don't lay eggs, and too many wives eat late. Once upon a time, in a big family, there were many little sisters-in-law, who got together and talked endlessly. When it comes to work, they push each other. You depend on me, and I depend on you. When the men came back from the fields for dinner, the meal was not ready yet, which was a net delay.

These eight dragons are in charge of water, just like "too many wives, too late to eat". The three generations of dragons, sons and grandchildren shirked their responsibilities and worked passively, which led to the failure to rain in time and the drought of the earth. Therefore, it is more prone to the dry year of eight dragons controlling water.

Because of the drought, even the grass in the crops died. It used to take eight people to mow the grass, but now it only takes three people.

Hehe, I used to answer similar questions with scientific knowledge, and I brushed up such questions this afternoon. I am happy to answer them again.

As the saying goes: if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer. What does this mean? People grow up from children and gradually accumulate some life experiences in the process of growing up. So there is a saying that 40 people are not confused and 50 people know their destiny.

Indeed, with the growth of age, people have more knowledge and experience. In life, we often encounter such a scene. Older people will warn young people like this: I eat more salt than you, and I have crossed more bridges than you!

Experience is very important, and our ancestors are also very smart, which has accumulated rich knowledge and experience for us. Some folk proverbs, slang, etc. Are all scientific and reasonable.

Then, the question is, is there any scientific reason for the saying that "eight dragons control water, eight people and three hoes"?

Today I will talk about it through the subject.

The saying that "eight dragons control water, eight people and three hoes" originated from heavenly stems and earthly branches calendar. No matter in the south or the north, many families ask a portrait of the kitchen god to be posted in the kitchen.

I remember when I was a child, the elders at home would look at the statue of the kitchen god and say to themselves: how many dragons manage the water, how many cows plow the fields, how many aunts look at silkworms and so on. And predict the rain and harvest in the coming year. I'm curious, how do adults know how many dragons are responsible for water control? Later, I went to school and got to know the words, only to know that the kitchen king had the answer written on it!

I'm still surprised. How did the man who printed the statue of the kitchen god know that the dragon was responsible for water control? Ask your adult, and he can't tell you why. Therefore, this problem has puzzled me for many years.

Later, I understood that this is a kind of wisdom of the ancients.

In ancient China, industrious and intelligent working people invented heavenly stems and earthly branches to record calendars. There are 10 Dryopteris, namely A, B, C, D, E, G, Xin, Ren and Gui. There is a 12 branch, which is familiar to everyone. They are Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai.

10 day stem corresponds to 12 ground branch once every 60 years, which is a nail. Hehe, if there is a 10 ground branch, it is really bad to cycle! There is 10 in the heavenly stem and 12 in the earthly branch, which is also the wisdom of the ancients.

How is it calculated that "eight dragons control water, eight people and three hoes"? This is what everyone is concerned about. Let me explain it in detail. When the ancients first calculated the calendar, it was definitely the first heavenly stem: Jiazi, followed by Yi Chou, Bing Yin, Ding Mao, Chen Wu, Keith, Geng Wu, Xin Wei, Ren Shen and Gui You. The problem is that 10 has run out of dry goods, and there are two underground branches. What should I do? Let's start all over again! Therefore, A in the heavenly stems corresponds to the rest, that is, A and B correspond to Hai, that is, B. Then start the cycle, Bingzi, Ding Chou ... This cycle is exactly 60 years, that is, a Jiazi.

This calculation method can be used not only for chronology, but also for months, days and hours!

The saying that "eight dragons control water, eight people and three hoes" comes from recording different days with heavenly stems and earthly branches's method.

According to the ancient calendar, generally from the first day of the first month to the twelfth month, the correspondence of 12 earthly branches has just been completed.

For example, according to the Gregorian calendar, in 2022, the first day of the first month is Yi You Day, the second day of the first month is Xu Bing Day, the third day is Ding Hai Day, the fourth day is Woods Day, the fifth day is Ugly Day, the sixth day is Geng Yin Day, the seventh day is Xin Mao Day, the eighth day is Ren Chen Day and the ninth day is Gui Si Day. 12 ends a cycle.

How is the eight dragons controlling water calculated?

As can be seen from the above, Chen, who represents the dragon, appeared on the eighth day of the first month. According to the folk saying, it is the Eight Dragons that control water. The ugly cow appeared on the fifth day of the first month, which means five cows plow the fields.

How did eight people and three hoes come out?

The representative ren appeared on the eighth day of the first month, representing three people on the third day of the first month and three hoes.

In the eyes of the people, the dragon is the god responsible for precipitation, but it also has the weakness of laziness. There are many dragons, and they all look at each other. You look at me, I look at you. What if there is a lack of dragons? Anyway, there is no comparison, just do your job well, so if you are diligent in precipitation, there will be floods.

The door of 202 1 is slowly closing, and the curtain of 2022 is slowly opening not far away! According to the old man, the coming year 2022 will be "eight dragons to control water, eight people to hoe three", that is to say, compared with the "two dragons" in 20021,the year 2022 of "eight dragons" will be a dry year.

The saying that several dragons control water is based on the first auspicious day of the Lunar New Year. The first auspicious day of 202 1 is the second day, while the first auspicious day of 2022 is the eighth day. So 2022 is "Eight Dragons".

Will there be "Eight Dragons" in 2022? According to the old man, it is not good, which indicates drought! Why?

Maybe you remember a well-known saying: one monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat. The ancients thought that there were too many dragons, so everyone was too lazy to rain, so there was a drought. As the old saying goes, "dragons are more dependent, dragons are less waterlogged, and five dragons and six dragons are in good weather."

With the first sentence "eight dragons control water" indicating drought, the next sentence "eight people and three hoes" is easy to understand! Eight people went to the field to mow the grass, but because the weather was too dry, even the grass could not grow. Only three people need to mow the grass, and the other five people can rest on one side.

Of course, the old saying may not have a scientific basis, what's more, technology is so developed now that even the weather forecast is sometimes not allowed! So in 2022, we are still full of expectations and look forward to a good year with good weather!

In the past, my mother always said that there were more dragons than waterlogged dragons. My mother explained that if there were more dragons, everyone would compete for rain and performance. Therefore, the water of the eight dragons means that there is more rain in a year and fewer dragons, so they are lazy with each other. They don't want less rain in the afternoon. This is also a legend of the old people. I still hope that the country will have good weather, peace and prosperity!

People often say:

Tianlong water control is looking forward to a good year, and the gods and cows are good farmers;

People who eat less bread and eat more have more money than gold.

2022 is the year of Renyin. Just look at what day the Spring Festival is and what day C is. C is the number in the sky, counting how many people's bread is divided in a few days. When is the ugly day? Ugly Japan is a local branch. Count the days. It was originally twelve days, and spring can never last thirteen days.

In 2022, the first day of the first month is Yi You, and the second day is Bing Xu, which is the day to share cakes (two people share cakes). On the fifth day of May, ugliness is the day of the ox (ugliness is the day of the ox), and on the eighth day of the first month, it is the third day of the first month, so it is "eight people and three hoes". This is the end of the new year that farmers care about.

Eight Dragons for Water Control: In the traditional cognition of China people, dragons are associated with precipitation. In the past, the Longwang Temple built in the countryside was a place where farmers prayed for rain and blessings. In the countryside, it is said that "dragons depend more, dragons drown less" and "dragons don't rain more". Generally speaking, the ideal situation is that the five dragons control the water and the weather is favorable all year round.

Eight people and three hoes: that is, three people hoe the ground with hoes and five people are resting, which means there are few weeds. One is that the weather is dry and weeds can't grow. The other is that crops grow well and inhibit weeds. Judging rainfall is based on the number of hoes.

Farming with Five Cattle: Cattle are the main force used by farmers to farm fields. The later the first ugly day, the more cattle are used to farm fields, which increases the difficulty of farming fields. 202 1, the first 1 1 in Niu Gengdi, farmers said that drought and flood disasters were more serious this year, especially floods. Next year, five cows will plough the land. According to this method, the land next year may be better than this year.

Two people share bread: it is said that food is the first thing for the people, and the primary purpose of farmers' farming is to fill their stomachs. In the past few years when the rural conditions were still relatively backward, the harvest of grain was even more important. If there is a famine, one person's rations have to be distributed to several people, and the saying that several people share bread comes from this. According to this statement, two people will share a piece of cake next year, which indicates that the harvest of crops may be better than this year.

Because in 2022, the Eight Dragons controlled the water, five cows plowed the fields, and the two divided the cakes. If this method of predicting the year is accurate, the harvest next year will not be good, but it will not be too bad.

Eight dragons control water, which means that the first day of the first month of that year (Chen is a dragon) is on the eighth day. If it is the fifth day of the first month, it is called five dragons to control water, and the sixth day is called six dragons to control water. It is said that the more dragons, the less rainfall and the more rainfall. Since ancient times, there has been a folk proverb that the dragon never rains.

I'm not sure. I only know that if I don't listen to the old man, I will suffer in front. You can believe this kind of thing, but you can't believe it all. Even if the scientific and technological means are strong now, these are the summary of life experience, respect and learning.

More than half of this year's winter has passed, and the pace of the Year of the Tiger is getting closer and closer. Next year is a non-cloudy year, so is next year a good year? The old man said: next year is "eight dragons to control water, eight people to hoe three." What does that mean? What are the signs?

How did the dragon come from?

The image of dragon comes from people's worship of astronomical phenomena, that is, the worship of Qinglong seven nights. With the revolution of the earth, the position of the Seven Nights of Qinglong will also change with the seasons, subject to the bucket handle direction of the Big Dipper. Because bucket handle of the Big Dipper always points to the position of Qinglong Seven Nights.

In spring, bucket handle refers to the east, and Qinglong rises from the eastern horizon for seven nights; In summer, according to the tour guide with bucket handle, Qinglong Seven Hostel is located in the middle of Nantian Zhongzheng. In autumn, bucket handle refers to the west, and Qinglong falls from the western horizon for seven nights; In winter, bucket handle points to the north, and Qinglong is under the horizon for seven nights. Therefore, bucket handle, the Big Dipper, points to the position of Qinglong for seven nights, and the "bottom tour of Longhai in the twelfth lunar month" is because the dragon is below the horizon.

When Qinglong rises from the eastern horizon for seven nights, the rainfall gradually increases. When Qinglong Seven Nights is located in the middle of the southern sky, the rainy season is the most in a year. After autumn, with the sinking of Qinglong for seven nights, the rainy weather becomes less and less. In winter, Qinglong is below the horizon for seven nights, so it seldom rains and thunders in winter.

It is precisely because the position of Qinglong Seven Nights corresponds to rainfall that ancient people thought that Qinglong Seven Nights was in charge of rainfall. In farming society, rain determines the harvest of crops, and the harvest of crops determines people's living standards, while dragons are in charge of rain, so dragons determine people's living standards, so dragons have become totems of many tribes.

Later, with the struggle and annexation between tribes and the continuous merger of totems, the image of the dragon became more and more perfect and finally became what it is now. In order to give this imaginary animal a resounding name, people have also taken great pains. Because the dragon is related to rainfall, and before the rainfall, it is always accompanied by thunder, so people call this animal thunder, and "dragon" becomes the pronunciation of dragon.

It is precisely because the dragon is in charge of rainfall, which directly determines the harvest of crops and people's living standards, so the dragon has become the totem of the Chinese nation. Ancient emperors also liked to call themselves "dragons", which meant that they were responsible for people's living standards.

What is "Eight Dragons Governing Water"?

It is precisely because rain plays a vital role in the harvest of crops, and dragons are responsible for distributing rain, so people judge the rainfall of that year according to the first dragon day of the new year. That is to say, after the Lunar New Year, the first dragon sunrise is a few days before now, that is, several dragons control water. The corresponding zodiac sign of the dragon is Chen, so the first day of the New Year is the Year of the Loong.

Next year is the year of Renyin, and the eighth day of the first month is the day of Renchen, so it is "eight dragons to control water". As the saying goes, "many people are chaotic, and many dragons are dry", which is like "one monk has water to eat, and two monks carry water to eat".

It is a truth that three monks have no water to eat, so "eight dragons to control water" means more dragons, which means less rain next year.

It means that after the Qinglong rises for seven nights, there will be less rain, which means less rain next summer. In fact, winter solstice proverbs also illustrate this point, such as "there is no rain in the winter solstice, and there will be a drought in the summer solstice next year", "it rains in Mao Mao in the winter solstice and floods in the summer solstice", "it snows in the winter solstice and the river is full in the summer solstice" and "it rains in the winter solstice and the New Year is sunny; Sunny winter solstice, New Year's rain and so on.

Therefore, "Eight Dragons for Water Control" means that there will be less rain next summer, that is, after the rise of Qinglong for seven nights. For example, this year's ugly year is "two dragons control water", and the two dragons are in charge of the north and south, with a clear division of labor. So there will be more rain this summer, and there will be floods in many places, but next year's "Eight Dragons Water Control" is not easy to have such floods.

What is "eight people and three hoes"?

This sentence is also based on the first 12 days of the new year to judge the degree of drought in a year. The first sunrise of the new year is the first day of the year, that is, a few people, represented by Sunday. The eighth day of the first month of next year is Renchen Day, and the third day of the first month is Dinghai Day, so it is "eight people and three hoes", which means judging the amount of rainfall according to the number of hoes.

"Eight people and three hoes" means that three people hoe the ground with hoes and five people are resting, which means that there are at least two kinds of weeds: one is that the weather is dry and weeds can't grow. The other is that crops grow well and inhibit weeds.

Spring is the season of sowing, that is, it is time to dig deep into the soil, so there is no need to hoe the ground when sowing, because sowing requires ploughing. When the crops grow, you don't need to hoe the ground until there are more weeds. After harvesting the winter wheat in the north, we began to plant some autumn crops, and "autumn crops" are the most needed to hoe the ground.

As described in the poem, "It is noon when weeding, and sweat drips down the soil", that is to say, weeding is hot weather, that is, summer. Then "eight people and three hoes" means less weeds, which means less rain next summer. Just like "eight dragons control water", it means less rain next summer.

Of course, this is just a method left by the ancients to judge the rain. It's hard to say whether it makes sense.

No matter in the south or the north, many people will ask a portrait of the kitchen god to be posted in the kitchen when they are young.

I remember when I was a child, the elders at home would look at the statue of the kitchen god and say to themselves: how many dragons manage the water, how many cows plow the fields, how many aunts look at silkworms and so on. And predict the rain and harvest in the coming year. I'm curious, how do adults know how many dragons are responsible for water control? Later, I went to school and got to know the words, only to know that the kitchen king had the answer written on it!

I'm still surprised. How did the man who printed the statue of the kitchen god know that the dragon was responsible for water control? Ask your adult, and he can't tell you why. Therefore, this problem has puzzled me for many years.

10 day stem corresponds to 12 ground branch once every 60 years, which is a nail. Hehe, if there is a 10 ground branch, it is really bad to cycle! There is 10 in the heavenly stem and 12 in the earthly branch, which is also the wisdom of the ancients.

How is it calculated that "eight dragons control water, eight people and three hoes"?

This is what everyone is concerned about. Let me explain it in detail. When the ancients first calculated the calendar, it was definitely the first heavenly stem: Jiazi, followed by Yi Chou, Bing Yin, Ding Mao, Chen Wu, Keith, Geng Wu, Xin Wei, Ren Shen and Gui You.

Therefore, A in the heavenly stems corresponds to the rest, that is, A and B correspond to Hai, that is, B. Then start the cycle, Bingzi, Ding Chou ... This cycle is exactly 60 years, that is, a Jiazi.

This calculation method can be used not only for chronology, but also for months, days and hours!

The saying that "eight dragons control water, eight people and three hoes" comes from recording different days with heavenly stems and earthly branches's method.

According to the ancient calendar, generally from the first day of the first month to the twelfth month, the correspondence of 12 earthly branches has just been completed.

For example, according to the old imperial calendar, in 2022, the first day of the first month is Yi You Day, the second day of the first month is Xu Bing Day, the third day is Ding Hai Day, the fourth day is Woods Day, the fifth day is ugly day, the sixth day is Geng Yin Day, the seventh day is Xin Mao Day, the eighth day is Ren Chen Day, and the ninth day is Gui Si Day. 12 ends a cycle.

How is the eight dragons controlling water calculated?

As can be seen from the above, Chen, who represents the dragon, appeared on the eighth day of the first month. According to the folk saying, it is the Eight Dragons that control water. The ugly cow appeared on the fifth day of the first month, which means five cows plow the fields.

How did eight people and three hoes come out?

The representative ren appeared on the eighth day of the first month, representing three people on the third day of the first month and three hoes.

In the eyes of the people, the dragon is the god responsible for precipitation, but it also has the weakness of laziness. There are many dragons, and they all look at each other. You look at me, I look at you. What if there is a lack of dragons? Anyway, there is no comparison, just do your job well, so if you are diligent in precipitation, there will be floods.
