Play today's solar terms

"Not afraid of dew, but afraid of dew" is an agricultural proverb, which is used to describe the situation of crops in dew weather. The Millennium is one of the 24 solar terms, which starts on September 8 or 9 every year when the sun reaches longitude 165. The white dew season, usually early autumn, turns cold and the morning dew is heavier.

This agricultural proverb means that if crops encounter rain (so-called "rain") in dew weather, it may have adverse effects on crops. This is because the weather is cooler in the Millennium season, and crops are vulnerable to cold damage at this time. If it rains, the rain will further aggravate the damage of crops and lead to a decline in output.

Therefore, farmers hope that the weather in the Millennium will remain sunny and there will be no rain, so as not to adversely affect crops. This also reflects farmers' concern about weather changes and awareness of crop protection. However, it should be noted that this is only a traditional agricultural proverb, which does not represent the scientific accuracy. The actual impact needs to be judged according to the specific situation and crop characteristics.

About agricultural proverbs

Agricultural proverbs are expressions of experience and wisdom summed up by farmers in their long-term farming life. These proverbs are usually concise and vivid, conveying certain agricultural knowledge and experience in easy-to-understand language. Agricultural proverbs can involve all aspects of agricultural production, including weather, agricultural operations, crop growth and so on. They inherit farmers' observation and understanding of the natural environment and the characteristics of crops, and help farmers better deal with agricultural problems and improve agricultural production efficiency.

In addition to proverbs describing weather and crop growth, there are also some agricultural proverbs about expressing life principles and values. These proverbs convey some wisdom and philosophy through the scenes of farming life and the growth process of crops, such as the importance of labor, the principle of conforming to nature, the virtue of diligence and housekeeping, etc.

Agricultural proverbs are widely circulated in rural areas. They are not only the guiding principles of farmers, but also a part of traditional culture. They recorded the wisdom and experience of China's farming civilization and reflected the truth and wisdom of farmers' life. At the same time, agricultural proverbs are also an important part of rural culture, showing the unique charm of China traditional culture.

It should be noted that agricultural proverbs are based on ancient agricultural production experience. With the progress of science and technology and the development of modern agriculture, some agricultural proverbs may no longer be applicable or need to be measured according to specific conditions. In practical application, we should combine scientific knowledge and practical experience to make a comprehensive judgment.
