Millennium introduction:

China is an ancient country with an ancient farming civilization. In thousands of years of farming culture, our ancestors combined with farming production to sum up many practical agricultural proverbs. These agricultural proverbs are short and pithy, and they are the compasses of ancient people in agricultural production. Even in modern society, these agricultural proverbs still have high guiding value and fully reflect the wisdom of our ancestors.

Only by grasping the solar terms and arranging agricultural production reasonably can we not miss the farming season. It's the solar term of the Millennium, which is the watershed of China's hot and cold. After the White Dew, the direct point of the sun continued to move southward, the solar radiation became weaker and weaker, the weather became colder and colder, and the daily average temperature in all parts of the country remained below 22℃. As one of the 24 solar terms, the Millennium has a great influence on agricultural production.

The important role of the Millennium:

There is an old saying that "summer is like autumn tiger". Summer rain helps to alleviate drought and promote the rapid growth of crops. In addition, autumn harvest crops are in the filling stage in summer, and plants need a lot of water. Rain is conducive to a good harvest of grain. As the agricultural proverb says, "When it rains in summer, every grain is rice", so it is good for farmers to rain in summer.

By the autumn harvest of the Millennium solar term, crops have matured or will soon mature, and plants have less demand for water. Corn, sorghum, millet and soybeans have been harvested all over China. At this time, if it rains continuously, it will not only delay the maturity of crops, but also delay the harvesting and drying of grain, and the grain that is not harvested in time will be moldy and germinated.

The agricultural proverb says that "the rain of a thousand years is the whole autumn rain", and the rain of a thousand solar terms indicates that there will be more rain in the future, which farmers do not want to see, so the rain of a thousand years is "bitter" for farmers.

In addition, the temperature difference between day and night will become larger and larger after the Millennium, and the water is not only turbid but also cold. If you don't pay attention to drinking water after the Millennium, you may have a stomachache and lead to the invasion of cold. As the agricultural proverb says, "Shut your mouth after drinking the white dew" and "Mosquitoes will wither after drinking the white dew", so for people, white dew is "bitter water".
