In 2023, several dragons controlled water and several cattle plowed the fields.

In 2023, Yi Long managed water, and ten cows plowed the fields.

How many dragons control water every year depends on the first day of the first month. For example, on the first day of the first month, Yi Long controlled water, and on the second day of the first month, two dragons controlled water and pushed it down in turn. The first day of 2023 is the first day of the first month, so it can be determined that Yilong controls water.

According to the rural elderly 12 heavenly stems and earthly branches, cows correspond to "ugly cows" (ugly cows). After calculation, in 2023, 65438+1October 3 1, that is, the tenth day of the first month, was ugly for cows, which happened to be the tenth day of the first month, so ten cows were plowing the fields.

Among them, Yilong is in charge of water conservancy, which means that the Dragon King will support precipitation this year. 2023 is the year of Yilong water control, which shows that there are fewer dragons to control water, which is a good thing. When I was a child, I often heard the old man say that dragons don't control water, but dragons will control water less!

Ten oxen plowed the fields, that is, China used Chen, Chou and C to predict the year in ancient times. Usually, the first ugly sunrise in the first lunar month is a few cows plowing in the field. Looking through the calendar in 2023, you will find that the first ugly sunrise was on the tenth day of the first lunar month, so it was called "ten cows plowing the fields".

In ancient times, people didn't have enough paper and pens to record information. More information is compiled into simple formulas or magical legends to facilitate people's spread. Several dragons manage water and several cows plow the fields in this way.
