As the saying goes, it takes three days to be shocked and peeled after the heat. What does this sentence mean?

Thunder is the signal of the beginning of spring ploughing, and seeds and hopes are buried deep under the blue Bai Jie sky; Thunder is the music that awakens everything, and weeds and stinging insects in the dark and humid soil sing cheerful songs; Thunder is a question from the brain and the heart, telling the anguish and worry about the night in the long night. When it comes to being startled, the idea that emerges is ringing. Not only flowers and trees are born of thunder, but also the longing and hope for the future.

In the eyes of ordinary farmers, fright is the crystal sweat condensed on the body in the field, and fright is the heavy breathing sound of cattle and plows. Because the sting is an important turning point of the solar term and the time for sowing, it is precious in the hearts of farmers. People will naturally judge whether crops have a good harvest by the weather during the shock period.

As the saying goes, "it will clear up after three days of fright, and peel the bark in summer." There are many general items, and continuous sunny days are drought. Therefore, the saying goes: the wake has a continuous dry weather phenomenon, and you should peel the bark and eat it after summer. To put it simply: the drought has led to a reduction in grain production, and people have to peel the bark to satisfy their hunger. Eating bark is a helpless choice for people in famine years.

Is bark really edible? The answer is yes, in the history of our country, there have been countless famines, and the grain storage can't meet the demand, so we can only rely on eating bark or grass roots to make a living. Elms are no strangers to hungry people. It was not uncommon to eat elm bark decades ago. People grind elm bark into flour and mix it with flour to make elm steamed bread or noodles to satisfy their hunger. Although elm bark can satisfy hunger, it can't be eaten in large quantities for a long time, which will bring a burden to the body.

It is an exaggeration to say that it will be sunny to eat bark three days after the hot summer. Basically, it means that there will be continuous dry weather in the future, which may lead to a decline in grain output. There are two main effects: first, the scare is the spring ploughing time, no rainfall, poor water and heat conditions in spring ploughing, and the survival rate of crops will decline; Second, the land fluctuated and warmed up, and crops in some areas began to turn green. In the process of turning green, continuous rainfall will cause crops to turn yellow and wither. Therefore, crop yield may be reduced due to continuous dry weather.

Combined with the social background, we can understand the reason for this statement. In ancient times, people's understanding of natural phenomena was not in place, and they could only sum up the laws through a lot of practice. There is a gap between the laws summed up in practice and reality, which cannot be completely accepted. We should treat the sayings in proverbs dialectically. Furthermore, proverbs have obvious characteristics of the times, so we can't generalize something.

There are three contradictions between proverbs and modern reality. First, China's agricultural technology is changing with each passing day, and the construction of water conservancy facilities and artificial rain urging technology are mature, which can reduce the impact of dry weather on grain output. Second, China is an important grain-producing country in the world, and its grain reserves are beyond the reach of other countries. It can cope with the problem of insufficient food supply in the medium and long term, and the phenomenon of eating bark is impossible. Third, China has the world's top technology, which can accurately predict the weather changes, and relevant departments have solutions.

Generally speaking, whether it is sunny or not has little influence on people, but the continuous dry weather can really bring influence. However, in the face of persistent dry weather, China has a full set of countermeasures to reduce the impact of drought on grain production, so don't worry too much. Our agriculture has such confidence and confidence.
