It is often said in the countryside that "it rains in summer and people are worried". Why is there such a statement?

We rural people depend on the weather for food, because the land gives us a platform to grow crops, and the weather determines the harvest of crops. When it begins to rain in autumn, crops will have a good harvest at harvest time, but when it rains in summer, crops will rot in the ground. Because the sunshine in autumn is not as strong as that in summer, and the rain is not volatile, crops rot easily.

The harvest of crops determines the life of farmers this year, so people don't want it to rain in summer.

Crops in North China are mainly winter wheat and summer corn. Now is an important period for maize heading and pollination, and after pollination, maize will enter the filling stage. The reason why "ten thousand people are worried about summer rain" appears in rural areas is that if it rains in summer, the rain will increase in the future and the temperature will drop sharply.

After tasseling and pollination, the plant weight will increase, and after a rainstorm, the corn will lodging, which will affect the corn harvest. Corn is a warm crop. Corn needs a lot of calories in the growing period if it wants to produce high yield. After summer, the rain is getting colder and colder, and the sudden drop of temperature will lead to false filling of corn, and the ear of corn is easy to be bald and lack of grains, which seriously reduces the yield of corn. Therefore, there is a saying in the countryside that "it rains in summer and people are worried".

Although there are only 65,438+05 days between the two solar terms in summer and autumn, the rain and water in early autumn and summer have a great influence on farmers. In early autumn, it is said that when it rains, everything is harvested in early autumn. However, when it rains in summer, people will worry. The reason why there is such a big gap is determined by the growth of crops.

In early autumn, corn is in jointing stage, and a lot of rain is needed at this time. Less rain will affect the growth of corn, and the growth of corn at jointing stage has a great influence on the yield of corn. Summer is coming, and corn is about to enter the heading stage. If it rains for a long time after heading and pollination, it will cause poor pollination of corn, which will lead to baldness and lack of grains. If there is more rain after corn filling, corn may lodging, so there will be such a big difference between beginning of autumn and summer rain.

In rural areas, solar terms are strongly regional. In China, the span between north and south is relatively large, and the temperature difference is obvious, so solar terms proverbs can only be used for reference in a certain area.
