The meaning of proverbs and solar terms

Proverbs and meanings about solar terms are as follows:

1, "The severe cold is not cold, and the vernal equinox is not warm"

This proverb means: If it is not cold in cold weather, then the cold weather will be postponed and it will be very cold at the spring equinox next year.

"Seeing three white people in the cold, the farmers have enough food and clothes."

3. "The pig is wet in the severe cold, and the buds rot in March", "The cow is wet in the severe cold, and it will be cold on March 3 next year", "The south wind will send the severe cold, and the dog will not go out in the first month"

According to popular saying, cold should be cold but not warm. There are many proverbs that the cold and warm weather is unfavorable to agricultural production. Proverbs show that the warm and humid weather in solar terms indicates that the cold and rainy weather in the solar calendar from February to April is serious, which has a negative impact on crop growth in spring.

4. "I am afraid of the south wind in cold weather, and I am most afraid of rain that day."

The weather on the cold day was once an important indicator of agriculture. As long as the north wind blows and the weather gets cold, it means there will be a bumper harvest next year. On the contrary, if the south wind blows and the weather is warm, it means that the crops will fail next year. If it rains, the weather in the coming year may be abnormal, affecting the growth of crops.
