Were there any books to forecast the weather in ancient times?

Tong Sheng was published more than 200 years ago during the Qianlong period. Tong Sheng was originally named Shu Tong, and Shu Tong in the early Qing Dynasty was compiled by Qin. Because "book" and "lose" are homophones, in order to avoid taboos, ordinary books have been turned into ordinary victories. Since then, "the defeat of the general" has become "the victory of the general", and you can feel at ease when you listen! The whole content of Tong Sheng revolves around the astronomical calendar, so that readers can make appropriate judgments in their daily lives and achieve the goal of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil. Accurate astronomical and meteorological forecasts are related to the harvest in the coming year, which is very important for farmers in China who are mainly agricultural. Therefore, Qin Tianjian (director of the ancient observatory) observes the astronomical phenomena every year, predicts the weather, solar terms, stars and branches from them, and then compiles them into "victories" for farmers' reference. 24 solar terms's birth date and other information are the basis of farmers' activities such as sowing, farming and harvesting. If farmers don't have the information in this book, their farming procedures will be at a loss! The year is divided into twelve sections and twelve qi. These 24 solar terms are evenly distributed in the twelve months of a year, and each month has a harmony. The dates of the 24 solar terms are different every year, some of which are unfamiliar to ordinary people, but in the eyes of farmers, these solar terms are very important to them!

In the Tang Dynasty, Huang Zifa wrote Xiang Colleen Chan, which collected meteorological experience before the Tang Dynasty. Tian Wu Jia Xing written by Lou Yuanli at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty is a more systematic collection of meteorological experience than Xiang.
