"If there is no snow in the light snow, the wheat will wither." Can agricultural proverbs predict the harvest in the coming year?

After the light snow solar term, the temperature began to drop, and the northwest wind gradually became a frequent visitor. At this time, most parts of northern China will enter the temperature below zero, and at the same time, there will be snowfall in the north. Because there is not much snow during this period, it is called light snow, but the snow at this time is usually half frozen and half melted, which is called "wet snow" in meteorology, and sometimes it rains and snows together. This snowfall is called "sleet".

As the saying goes, "Little snow doesn't see snow, but the grains of wheat wither", which means that it doesn't snow in the light snow and heavy snow, and the production of wheat and barley will be reduced in the coming year, so people will have a hard time. What's the point? The snow was caused by rain. Although the light snow is frozen but not sealed, it belongs to night freezing and day melting. At this time, the next snow will not only freeze the pests and germs in the soil, but also contribute to the decomposition of soil organic matter and enhance soil fertility. Wheat is rich in natural particles, which will increase production and harvest. There is a similar saying in the countryside that "it will not snow, and insects will not be removed in the coming year", which means that it will snow when it snows, otherwise it will be bad for crop growth.

If it doesn't snow in light snow solar terms and it doesn't snow in heavy snow solar terms, it is a warm winter and the climate is abnormal, which is a bad phenomenon. Agriculture will suffer losses in the coming year. The warm winter climate is abnormal, and secondly, warm winter pests will breed in large numbers, which is not good for agriculture. Especially at this time, it has entered the winter and the weather is very cold. Crops easily freeze to death when exposed to the air. There is a saying among the people that "it doesn't snow in good years". It can not only keep the temperature of wheat, but also make it warm as snow in the coming spring. Snow water can moisten wheat seedlings and alleviate the soil environment that is unfavorable to wheat growth caused by drought and lack of rain in spring. Therefore, there is a saying that "this year's wheat is covered with snowflakes, and next year's sleep is steamed bread".

In a word, agricultural proverbs can still predict the next year's harvest to a certain extent. "Little snow does not see snow, but the wheat will wither." Let's check whether it will snow tomorrow.
