How did the ancients introduce heavy snow?

In ancient times, heavy snow was divided into three phases: "A cuckoo gull didn't sing; Second, wait for the tiger to pay; Wait for you to stand out. " This means that because of the cold weather at this time, Hao Han birds no longer sing. Second, because this is the heyday of Yin Qi, the so-called prosperity and decline, Yang Qi has sprouted, so the tiger began to courtship.

Litting is a kind of bluegrass, which can also be called "litchi" for short, and it is also because of the germination of poplar that new buds are drawn. It has accumulated a strong vitality, and it is shocking to compete with the cold alone.

Brief introduction of three seasons of heavy snow:

Wait: cuckoos don't sing.

Hao Han bird is the laziest and chirping bird. It lives in caves or cracks on cliffs. Hao Han birds, who don't like nesting, are shivering with cold because they can't stand the cold. When it trembled, the Hao Han bird couldn't help letting out a cry.

However, in the solar term of heavy snow, even the plaintive cries of Hao Han birds can't be heard, indicating that the weather is extremely cold. At this time, most animals have entered hibernation or found a suitable place for winter, and nature is quiet and peaceful. This is the "winter storage".

Waiting for the second time: the tiger begins to have sex.

Tigers are carnivores among mammals, and the estrus mating period is generally from 1 1 to February of the following year. From the festival point of view, the snow solar term is the period when tigers mate. The ancients thought that this was the peak of Yin Qi, which flourished and declined. Yang Qi had sprouted, so the tiger began to courtship. Tiger courtship is the warmest thing in this cold season.

Third waiter: Li Ting is out.

In the middle of winter and snow season, all is silent, and a bluegrass named Li also feels the germination of the sun spirit and pulls out new buds. At this time, it grows out of the ground alone. Litchi grass is not litchi, but a kind of wild grass, also called Malan. The arrow-shaped leaves of Malan grow tall and straight in the sunshine posture, and the purple flowers keep blooming.

After being crushed again and again by wagons and tractors, they held their noble heads high again and again and continued to grow. From spring to autumn, I contribute to the green leaves of life in the rain and mud, without fatigue or pain.

Until autumn came, winter came, everything withered, and all people thought that they disappeared into the smoke and disappeared without a trace like other animals and plants. As everyone knows, in this lonely and cold winter, they take the sky as the quilt and the snow as the pillow, accumulating strong life force and fighting the cold alone, which is shocking.
