What agricultural proverbs of twelfth lunar month left by ancestors taught you to predict the year from the weather?

Five twelfth lunar agricultural proverbs left by our ancestors teach you to predict the year from the weather and have a good harvest every year! The old man said, "If there is snow or not, it will be ugly." It snows in December, okay?

December of the lunar calendar is the day when Qin Shihuang ordered to customize the calendar after unifying China, which is called the twelfth lunar month. In the twelfth lunar month, some places are called "La Winter" and "Residual Winter", while others are called "Poor Winter", "Ice Moon" and "Qing Si". It means that the old year is about to pass and the new year is coming. Ancestors have the custom of recording weather changes. After a long time of recording, they found some laws, predicted the weather conditions according to the weather conditions of the day, and summarized some agricultural proverbs to guide agricultural work. So, what are the agricultural proverbs when entering the twelfth lunar month? Let's find out!

We found a rule that ancestors predicted the weather conditions for 30 days or 30 times by the weather conditions of the day. From this sentence, we can also see that the weather (Qingming) is predicted 30 times according to the weather on the first day of the twelfth lunar month. There is no snow in the northeast today, and the weather is sunny. The weather in Hebei turned sunny and cloudy, with mild smog in Zhengzhou and Chengdu, and no rain or snow. There is an old saying that "wheat covers three floors and sleeps with steamed bread for years". More snowfall can not only prevent or freeze some germs and eggs, but also contain more nitrogen in the snow, which is beneficial to winter crops such as wheat and garlic in spring. The old saying means that if it is sunny on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, it will be dry before we come to Tomb-Sweeping Day next year.

This is in line with the notice issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs earlier this year, "Responding to La Nina's scientific disaster prevention and stable supply plan this winter and next spring". The notice clearly stated, "It is expected that a weak to moderate intensity La Ni? a event will be formed in winter, which will lead to frequent extreme weather events, and extreme weather events such as staged extreme cooling this winter and next spring and drought in some areas in winter and spring are more likely to occur." There are some old sayings of our ancestors that can still play a guiding role.

This sentence is similar to the first sentence, which means that if the weather is fine and there is no precipitation on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the weather may be bad next spring, and the old cow has no work to do, indicating that the crops are affected. This is the same as another old saying, "The first day of the twelfth lunar month is sunny, and the next year will be empty", which means that spring is dry and the year is not good.

"It's cold when it's cold, and good next year"; "Xue Rui Ji Zhao Feng Year" means that snow in winter is conducive to the safe overwintering and spring growth of crops. If it snows on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, it will be warmer next spring, the wheat will grow better, and farmers can eat white-flour steamed bread. This is the same as the above sentence "McGetty has three quilts and sleeps steamed bread all the year round". It means the same thing. This means that snow is good for the growth of wheat.

This sentence is not for the north, because it won't rain in the north at this time. It means that if it rains on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, there will be no good weather and not much precipitation for the next 100 days.

These agricultural proverbs were summarized by the older generation through long-term records and production practices. After years of revision and verification, combined with climate change, it is summarized to guide agricultural work. Of course, these agricultural proverbs are also regional, and the climatic conditions are different from before, so they are not accurate. Can only be regarded as an understanding, or we should always pay attention to the weather forecast and take disaster prevention and mitigation measures before the arrival of bad weather to ensure that the losses are minimized.

As the old saying goes, snow in December is good for crops in the coming year, so when will it snow in December? It's easy to know if you look at the weather forecast, but the ancestors didn't. How did they judge whether it was snowing? Let's have a look!

We know that in ancient times, seasons, phenology and climate changes were always expressed through branches, and we also summed up the 24 solar terms that established the special festival of "December Construction", and guided the agricultural work in the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, which was the product of ancient agricultural civilization.

November of the lunar calendar is the "sub-month", December of the lunar calendar is the "ugly month", and the first day of February 9 this year is the "sub-month day", with three "sons" appearing. According to the ancient law, it is the last wall of Confucius. The "ugly month" will gradually weaken until the "ugly month" on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month will be chaotic.

To put it bluntly, the twelfth lunar month is the first wall of the "ugly month". It is said that it is specially used to collect gold, so much for gold. In other words, it is easy to rain or snow before the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. This is the inference of the older generation, and the specific calculation is not necessary to be so clear. In short, there will be precipitation before the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Looking through the calendar, we can see that the day of Laba this year is "Ghost Sea Day". According to the old calendar, it is the day when the child is exhausted, that is to say, the power leaked from the "child moon" is collected, and the power leaked from the child moon is the power of the "child water". In other words, the "Guihai Day" on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month and the "Renri Day" the day before are prone to precipitation.

After the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, "ugly soil" forces will prevail, the weather will be mainly dry and cold, and the probability of snow is very small, which means that there will be less rain and snow and more dry and windy weather this winter.

According to the weather forecast, around the 7th of this month, a large area of China was once again surrounded by warm current. Therefore, under the influence of this cold air, some areas may be cold, but most areas still show signs of warming, and this warming phenomenon may last until about 65438+1mid-October. However, this wave of cold air is difficult to cause a large-scale strong cooling. Northeast China, North China and other places will be affected by weak cold air, and the temperature will be lower than in the previous period. Family members should wear more clothes and keep warm.
