What does Yi Long mean by controlling water?

Controlling water with dragons means having dragons to support precipitation.

2022 is an extraordinary year. The world situation is changing, and the COVID-19 epidemic situation at home and abroad is sporadic and repeated, which has brought many negative impacts on people's normal life. The frequent occurrence of various natural disasters, floods in summer and autumn, and the persistent autumn tiger phenomenon in southwest China have affected agricultural production.

In addition, in 2022, all walks of life in China were affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, and the economy was depressed, so many migrant workers could not go out to work. Therefore, the income of most farmers has fallen sharply compared with previous years, so people are looking forward to a good year with good weather and good crops next year.

From the calendar in 2023, it is easy to find that the first day of the first month of next year is "Chen Geng Day", which is on the first day of the first month, so it is "Yilong Water Control"; The ugly day on the first day of the first month of next year is the "ugly day", which coincides with the tenth day of the first month, so it is called "ten cows plowing the fields"; The first third day of next year is "Xu Bingri", which falls on the seventh day of the first month, so it is "seven people share the cake".

There was no weather forecast in ancient times. These old sayings are ancient people's predictions for a year. As for whether it is accurate or not, we are just making a reference. China is a vast country, so we can pay more attention to the weather forecast so as to arrange agricultural production reasonably.

In fact, this is a way to predict the year in the old yellow calendar. Although, some people say that times have changed, in a more scientific way, this old imperial calendar is unbearable. But I think it is worthwhile to know how the ancients got along with nature.
