Old Huang Li inquired about several dragons to control water.

Two dragons control the water, eleven oxen plow the fields, and nine butchers divide the pigs.

The literal interpretation of this sentence may be far-fetched, but if you know its source, you will know its meaning.

Many years ago, when my grandfather was still alive, he would buy an almanac when he went shopping for new year's goods at the end of the twelfth lunar month. Looking through the yellow calendar, you can calculate whether there was more or less rain in 2008. Is the crop harvest good or bad?

At that time, I was young and ignorant and didn't understand these things. Just after the New Year, in the autumn after the harvest of Maihuangdao, grandma always said: This year's prosperity is like your grandfather's rambling years ago.

At that time, I thought my grandfather was a true god, and he would be unpredictable.

I didn't know grandpa's psychic route until I grew up.

In other words, looking through the almanac can roughly infer the year of 2008.

In the past, people had to look through the yellow calendar from the year to the wedding, funeral and wedding, and the yellow calendar used the chronological method.

Simply put, the earthly branches of the China Zodiac are combined with the trunk branches of the Ten-Day Stem to mark the year.

The ancients used a jiazi to date for 60 years, and then turned around again in 60 years. Sixty is the age of sixty, that's why.

Twelve earthly branches (Zizhu, Ugly Cow, Yinhu, Maotu, Chen Long, Sishu, Wuma, Weiyang, Shenhou, Youyou Chicken, Youyou Dog and Haizhu).

Ten-day cadres (A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Ren, Kui).

Combine the two and turn to that day, which is the corresponding date of that year.

The second day of the first month in 202 1 just corresponds to Nonchen Day, Chen is a dragon, the second day is a dragon, and the twelve earthly branches just correspond to the first day of the first month to the twelfth day of the first month. Then there are only twelve dragons at most. Dragons represent water, and two dragons indicate that there won't be much rain this year. (If there are twelve, it will flood. )

Eleven cows plow the fields, and the eleventh day of the first month corresponds to the ugly day, and ugliness is a cow. What does it mean to plow the fields with eleven cows? There is little rain and the field is too hard for a cow to pull. It takes eleven cows (twelve cows at most).

Nine butchers are pigs, corresponding to the ninth day of the first month. The ninth day of the first month is the day of the sea, and the sea is a pig. Nine butchers went to kill pigs. What does this mean? If food and feed are reduced, there will be fewer pigs and the price of pork will rise. Pig farmers can make a fortune.

Two dragons control the water, eleven oxen plow the fields, and nine butchers divide the pigs. The combination of these three means that 20021year is not a good year for agricultural harvest and farmers.

Due to less rain, crop failure, less food and less feed for pigs, only nine butchers can kill a pig, and the price of pork is also rising.

Candle teacher to answer this question, for the reference of netizens!

First, two dragons control the water. What is said here is the precipitation in that year. As the saying goes, dragons rely more on dragons and less on waterlogging. If there are too many dragon owners, they will shirk their responsibilities when it rains. In the end, no one wants to rain, resulting in dry weather. On the other hand, if there are too few dragon owners, they don't know how much rain is good, and there will be floods. About how many dragons control water, it is best to control water with five dragons. This year's Erlong water control, we should pay attention to the occurrence of floods!

Let's talk about eleven oxen. We all know how good it is to farm cattle. Too many cows will dig deep into the land, which shows that crops will grow well this year and there will be a bumper harvest. So this year's crops will have a good harvest!

Finally, it means that it takes nine people to kill a pig. It is not difficult to understand that there is still a shortage of pigs all over the country, and pork is still very expensive.

However, the candle teacher told netizens that this was said on the stove in 2020. You can consider it according to last year's situation. Is this sentence correct?

As old people in rural areas, people are used to going to the farmers' market every Spring Festival, and every household buys an old calendar book to determine the priority of farming in the next year, or to predict whether the weather will be good or whether the crops will be harvested in the next year. Although a little superstitious, these old farmers still believe in ancient almanac.

So, what does this year's Erlong flood control, 11th Niu Gengdi and 9th slaughter mean?

"Two dragons control water" means that there are two dragons in charge of precipitation this year, and there is a folk saying that the Dragon King is in charge of precipitation. Although there are not many dragons controlling water, it is a good thing for farmers. In Hunan, there is a legend that "many dragons depend on others", which means that everyone shirks their responsibilities. On the contrary, the fewer dragons control water, the more responsible they are for their work. Relatively speaking, we can see rain this year.

"Chen" is a dragon, and "Chen" ranks ninth in the yellow calendar. The greatest achievement every year is the flood control in Kowloon. If the year of flood control in Kowloon appears in the calendar, there will probably be a drought.

"eleven cows plow the field", personally, it takes eleven cows to plow the field. It is conceivable that there may be a drought in the early stage of farming and farming this year. If there was enough rain, there wouldn't be so many cows to plow the fields. Only in the case of drought, the soil is hardened and the cows can't pull it at all, so 1 1 the first cow will cultivate the land at the same time.

In the Gregorian calendar, Niu Gengdi has only 12 years, while Niu Gengdi has 1 1 year this year. Some provinces may face a certain degree of dry weather during the spring sowing season.

"Nine butchers get a pig", that is, nine butchers sell a pig. From this, it can be understood that the pork market is not smooth. If pork sells well, a butcher can sell a pig, so why do you need nine butchers to sell a pig? Pork is unsalable and difficult to sell. Only nine butchers can sell a pig.

In fact, these old calendars are out of date. Now, when agriculture is dry, there are pumps and pumps for irrigation, plows and cultivators for farmland. There is no need to plough the land with cattle. With the development of society, these old calendars have gradually withdrawn from the historical stage. Dear netizens, the above is purely personal. what do you think? Thank you for your comments!

This year, two dragons control the water, which means that on the second day of the first lunar month, Chen is a dragon, eleven cows plow the fields on the eleventh lunar month, ugly cows and nine butchers are pigs on the ninth lunar month. This is a pig.
