The old people in the countryside say that the rain in a year depends on the winter solstice. Can "winter solstice" predict the drought and flood in the coming year?

Although "Winter Solstice" ranks 22nd among the 24 solar terms, people attach great importance to it. There is a folk proverb that "the solstice in winter is as big as a year". After the winter solstice, the weather is about to enter the' number nine' day, and the temperature is getting lower every day. And' winter solstice' is the shortest day and the longest night in a year, generally in 65438+February 266.

"Winter solstice" is the key solar term for the transformation of Yin and Yang. On this day, the sun is the lowest and the ground absorbs the least heat, which represents the beginning of winter. This day is also the coldest day from March 9, so there is a saying that it is cold on March 9. "Winter" is also called "off-year", because after this day, the yang is gradually strong, which is a lucky day. In ancient times, let's look at the proverbs summarized by the older generation.

First of all, it doesn't rain on the solstice in winter, and it won't rain next year on the solstice in summer.

It means that if it doesn't rain from the winter solstice, the earth will be dry next summer, because the winter solstice is the arrival of the cathode, and it should rain or snow, but it doesn't rain or snow, which means that the temperature is not very low, but it is warm winter, so there is little rain in the whole winter. When the temperature is high, the ground water evaporates quickly, which accelerates the land drought. After beginning of spring, the weather is drier and rainy, in summer.

Second, it snows on the solstice in winter and is full of water on the solstice in summer.

This means that it will snow on the solstice in winter, and there will be plenty of rain next summer. We know that after the heavy snow, the sun will gradually turn to the northern hemisphere. At present, the heat absorbed by the ground is greater than the heat emitted. The cold weather from winter solstice makes the cold and warm air flow meet, which will produce rain and snow. However, it snows from winter solstice, indicating that the solar terms are normal. The cold weather makes crops such as wheat dormant and will resume after beginning of spring. By next summer, the rain will gradually increase and be abundant.

To sum up, the old people in rural areas said that "it rains every year, depending on the winter solstice" still has some truth. Proverbs are the empirical laws summed up by the older generation of productive labor, which have certain guiding significance for agricultural production. Do you agree with what the old people say?
