What do the old people mean by "sunny day from winter to Sunday, rain and snow during the Spring Festival"?

This proverb mainly describes the influence of the weather on the winter solstice Spring Festival. Literally, this proverb means that if the weather is very sunny from winter to Sunday, it will be rainy and snowy during the Spring Festival.

But this proverb mainly describes the south of China, and it is not applicable to the north, because the latitude in the north is relatively low, so the probability of snow is relatively high. Even in warm weather like 1999, there may be heavy snow.

Matters needing attention

In addition to the Spring Festival, many farmers also believe that the winter solstice weather will have a major impact on the whole winter weather. There is also a saying in the countryside that "it snows from winter to day until the end of the year, and it is windy and cold from winter to day", which means that if it snows from winter to day, there will be more days of snowfall by the end of the year, and if it is windy from winter to day, the temperature will be lower throughout the winter, and the weather will gradually pick up after the spring.

In rural areas, the Chinese New Year should be lively, and people will visit relatives and friends. Of course, we don't want it to snow or rain during the Spring Festival. Relatively speaking, we expect sunny weather.

On the contrary, if it rains or snows in winter solstice, it may be sunny in China during the New Year. Similar agricultural customs also say that "a refreshing winter solstice is a sloppy year, and a sloppy winter solstice is a refreshing year"!

The "sloppy" and "refreshing" here actually refer to rainy and snowy weather and sunny days. Most rural proverbs are easy to understand, so this description is more vivid.
