What's the proverb of May 9th?

The proverb of May 9th goes like this:

There are different sayings in different places, which spread among the people in the north: 1929, out of reach; in 3949, walking on the ice; in 5969, the poor stick stretched out; in 79, the river opened; in 89, the goose came; in 99, you added 19, and the cattle walked everywhere. The main difference between here and other places is that "the poor stick out", which is the degradation of the poor by the rich and the self-mockery of the poor and middle peasants. "The poor stick sticks out" means that the poor middle peasants begin to prepare for spring ploughing production.

There are other things on the Internet: 1929 did not shoot, walked on the ice in 3949, looked at willows across the river in 5969, opened the river in 79, brought geese in 89, and added 19 in 99, and plowed cattle everywhere. 1929 people intervened behind closed doors, and in 3949 dogs barked across the door; In 5969, I saw Liu across the river; In 79, the river was opened; In 1989, the geese came; In 1999, cattle were raised everywhere.

"Spring knocks five or nine times, and spring knocks six or nine times" is a folk proverb, which means that this day in beginning of spring is either the last day of May 9th or the first day of June 9th. The last day of May 9th in beginning of spring is called "Spring Day". On the first day of June 9th, beginning of spring was called "spring beating six or nine heads".

The so-called "September" means that the "winter solstice" is the 1 day of September 9, and the first day of June 9 is the 46th day from winter to the future (including the day of winter solstice). Beginning of spring is the third solar term after the winter solstice (winter solstice, slight cold and severe cold). Generally speaking, a solar term is15th day, so "beginning of spring" is the 46th day from winter to the future (including the day from winter to Sunday). Therefore, beginning of spring usually falls on the ninth day of June, which means "six or nine heads in spring". But there are exceptions

For example, 20 1 1 and 20 12, beginning of spring hit five Kyubi no Youko on the last day of May 9, instead of hitting six or nine heads. This may be because the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" also takes the lunar calendar as the calculation point. The winter solstice of 20 1 1 is 65438+February 22nd. If it is 2 1, then beginning of spring on 20 12 will be the first day of June 9.

In ancient times, the period from winter solstice to winter solstice (about 365.25 days), that is, the tropical year, was usually divided into 24 segments (each segment was about 15: 05), that is, 24 solar terms. Because the interval between every two solar terms in the 24 solar terms is about 15.2 days, and the three solar terms are 45.6 days (45th day 14 hours), the time of winter solstice determines the time in beginning of spring.

If the winter solstice time is before 10 in the morning of that day, it will be beginning of spring after 45 days; If the winter solstice is after 10 am, there are still 46 days from beginning of spring. There is also a saying that beginning of spring's time is not dead, but will change, so there is a phenomenon of "spring beating five Kyubi no Youko".
