In February next year, a farmer's proverb said, "Yi Long controls water and ten oxen plough the fields". Is 2023 a bumper harvest year?

The Year of the Rabbit is getting closer and closer to us. Rabbit is a very lovely animal, and its appearance is unforgettable.

For example, the Jade Rabbit in the Moon Palace is so attractive. When Chang 'e held this little jade rabbit, she explained what "love" was more vividly.

In the zodiac, the long-legged rabbit was burned to death in the fire in order to find an antidote for the villagers. To commemorate this year, people named it the Year of the Rabbit.

The year of the rabbit in 2023 is very unusual. The old man said that Guimao's Year of the Rabbit is not only a "double spring", but also a leap in February. There is also an old saying: "Yi Long controls water and ten oxen plough the fields". Does it indicate that next year will be a bumper harvest year?

At present, there are two timing methods: solar calendar and lunar calendar, so there is a difference in time.

This is because the calculation method of the solar calendar is: the earth revolves around the sun for one year, and there are 365 days in a year, which is divided into 12 months.

The lunar calendar is calculated according to the moon's one-week orbit around the earth. According to 12 months, it is a month, 29.5 days, and a year is 354 days.

The calculation method difference between solar calendar and solar calendar is 1 1 day.

One year difference 1 1 day, three years difference of one month. In order to make the solar calendar and lunar calendar conform to the calculation method of the twenty-four solar terms, the ancients had the idea of leap month.

"One leap every three years", the fourth year, plus one month. This added month is the "leap month".

The ancients also had the cycle calculation method of "60 Jia Zi", so the leap in February was once every 19 years, the last time was in 2004, the next time was in 2023, and the next time was in 2042.

Therefore, it is very rare to meet leap February in the Year of the Rabbit.

As for the popular agricultural proverb "Yi Long controls water, ten oxen plough the fields", there is actually another sentence that is complete: "Seven people share the bread".

The integrated version is: "Yi Long controls water, ten oxen plough the fields, and seven people divide the bread". Literally, the ancestors said that in the next year of 2023, the annual rainfall was controlled in a "one-stop" way, and ten oxen needed to work together to plow the land.

In life, there may be seven people sharing a cake.

Let's look at Water Control in Yi Long first. In myths and legends, the dragon king is in charge of rainfall, and the dragon king is under the command of the jade emperor. There is more than one dragon king.

In other words, in some years, there may be a problem that many dragon kings decide rainfall together.

Before making a decision, at least several dragon kings should sit together and have a meeting to discuss it.

Therefore, when encountering problems, everyone should think about throwing the pot.

So much trouble, the efficiency will definitely be very low.

Either there is no rain or there is too much rain, resulting in two extremes: drought and flood.

Journey to the West, as we all know, also has the story of the "Wei Zhi Dragon King", which is roughly the same.

But when a dragon king (Yi Long) came to control the water, the situation was completely different. Although a little tired, the task will be carried out in a planned way and the rainfall will be more balanced. In some places, there may be excessive rainfall, but it will not be too extreme.

Let's take a look at Ten Niu Geng. In our memory, only one cow will be used to plow the land, because the farmers who use it have improved.

In ancient times, people used a Quyuan plow, also called Jiangdong plow. A plow plate that can rotate freely was installed on the plow head, which not only made the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also made it easy to turn around and operate flexibly.

But this kind of farm tool is in the form of two cows, and it needs two cows to operate it in actual farming.

Since "ten cows have to plow the fields", it shows that all the land in the country is suitable for planting crops at the right time. If there is no drought, busy figures will be seen everywhere, which also indicates a bumper year.

Finally, let's take a look at "seven people share the cake", which is easy to understand. Seven people share the cake, which shows that the food is very tight.

But there is also a loophole here, that is, it is not clear how many cakes were divided among seven people, so the specific meaning depends on the situation.

Conclusion:

As the saying goes, "Yi Long controls water, ten oxen plow the fields, and seven people share the bread", which has certain practical value in the age when the ancients lived. After all, farming is based on these life experiences to plan agricultural production.

As for the weather every year, whether it is a bumper year or not depends on the actual weather forecast.

We can also make a prediction from the related proverbs left by the ancients.

For example, as the saying goes: "February is a leap in spring, autumn is cold and spring is dry", which is very suitable for the characteristics of 2023.

The Year of the Rabbit with Tortoise Hair happens to be "Double Spring", and the first beginning of spring Day is the 14th day of the first lunar month. The second beginning of spring Day is on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month.

And it's leap February.

What will happen this year? "Spring cold meets autumn drought" means that spring cold will be late and autumn will be dry.

Generally speaking, it is not optimistic.

However, according to "Water Control in Yi Long", it is more likely that the weather will be favorable.

So proverbs can only be used as a reference. With the progress of the times and the change of global climate, the life experience of the ancients is not completely applicable.
