Why can farmers judge a year's harvest as long as they have passed the severe cold and slight cold?

Slight cold and severe cold are the two coldest seasons in a year and the last two seasons in the 24 solar terms. In the eyes of farmers, these two seasons are very crucial, especially in the northern region, and the four seasons are very obvious. Farmers can predict next year's harvest after slight cold and severe cold.

This is because slight cold and severe cold are the coldest times in winter, and crops hibernate like animals. If it is very cold in winter, crops will freeze to death, and many will freeze to death when they turn green next year, which will not welcome the arrival of spring well. If it is not cold in winter, crops will continue to grow normally, so there will be a trend of crazy growth. We know that crops have their own ripening process, and the ripening time should not be too early or too late, otherwise a good harvest will not be produced.

In order to have a good harvest, farmers are looking forward to the next heavy snow in winter. As the saying goes, snow in mild and cold seasons is very beneficial to the next year's crop harvest. Snow is not only a quilt, but also provides rich nutrition for crops.
