What is Qiu Qi afraid of?

There are 24 solar terms in China, and beginning of autumn is the first 13 of the 24 solar terms, which means that beginning of autumn means autumn. Autumn is a season for receiving goods. The weather after beginning of autumn is directly related to this year's harvest, so the villagers are afraid of beginning of autumn, saying that beginning of autumn has three fears. What are they afraid of? One is afraid of premature beginning of autumn, the other is afraid that it won't be windy before beginning of autumn, and the third is afraid that it won't rain after beginning of autumn. This is the farmer's uncle's summary of beginning of autumn's three fears. What did he mainly say?

1, afraid of beginning of autumn early.

As the saying goes, "sit at home in July and fall, and sit at home in June and fall." According to the farming plan, if it is beginning of autumn in July, the seeds in the field are being grouted at this time, and it takes sunshine, temperature and time to mature. If we arrive in beginning of autumn in June of the lunar calendar, we know that the temperature starts to drop after beginning of autumn, so the crops have no time and temperature to mature, which will lead to crop failure.

I'm afraid it won't be windy before beginning of autumn.

As the saying goes, "more thunder and less rain, half the harvest in winter." Beginning of autumn doesn't mean that the temperature will drop immediately, but it will be hot for a while. At this time, crops need to rain when filling, but if it rains before beginning of autumn, it will not be a bumper year.

I'm afraid it won't rain after beginning of autumn.

In rural areas, there is also a saying that "the north wind rains before autumn and the north wind rains after autumn, and the north wind dries the river bottom after autumn". It is also said that as long as there is wind in front of beginning of autumn, there will be plenty of rain in crops after beginning of autumn. If it is windy after autumn, the bottom of the river bed will be exposed and natural crops will suffer from drought.

This solar term in beginning of autumn is of great significance to farmers. At this time, it is a critical period for many crops, such as cotton bolling, sweet potato swelling, rice flowering and fruiting, soybean pod setting, etc ... At this time, the demand for water by crops is expected. If it doesn't rain at this time, there will be no good harvest.

In fact, we can see that beginning of autumn's "three fears" are mainly related to the climate. People depend on the weather to grow crops in rural areas, and their worries are justified.
