What does the phrase "Before the Dragon Boat Festival, there were barren fields everywhere" mean? Did the ancients have accurate experience?

As the saying goes? Before the Dragon Boat Festival, there were barren places everywhere. The meaning of this statement is that if the solar term of awn species is before the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be continuous rainy weather, which will affect the harvest and sowing of crops. In this case, the farmland will be postponed due to the weather, leading to the abandonment of farmland. In fact, this statement was reasonable at that time, and the experience of the ancients at that time is not accurate now.

Ear seed is actually the ninth solar term among the twenty-four solar terms and the third solar term in summer, usually in June, almost on June 7, the day of the college entrance examination. There is a saying in the south that farmers are very busy during the solar term, because they are busy harvesting wheat and sowing at that time. After the solar term, it will rain, which will not only affect wheat harvesting, but also affect sowing. If we miss the sowing season, the fields will be abandoned. In fact, there is the second half of this sentence, that is, after the Dragon Boat Festival, wine and meat are everywhere. This means that after the Dragon Boat Festival, mangoes will have a bumper harvest and a lot of food will be harvested, and farmers' fields will not be abandoned.

In fact, this sentence is also some experience summed up by our ancients in long-term farming activities, and there are many reasons. However, in this era, some are still inaccurate. After all, the weather has changed a lot now, and the planting technology is also very advanced. It will not stop sowing and purchasing because of the rain. If you don't have to worry about it before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, the harvest and sowing will be very smooth. Therefore, it is inaccurate to say that the experience of the ancients at that time is actually used in our present society, because the society is developing very rapidly now, and many of them are predictable.

So many proverbs are very useful and accurate in ancient times, but they are not accurate in this era, and the experience of the ancients is not accurate. After all, the times are developing and the weather is changing.
