Agricultural proverbs about the Millennium

The agricultural proverbs about the Millennium are as follows:

1, summer rain is sweet, and Millennium rain is bitter.

There is an old saying that "summer is like autumn tiger". Summer rain helps to alleviate drought and promote the rapid growth of crops. In addition, autumn harvest crops are in the filling stage in summer, and plants have a great demand for water. Rain is good for grain harvest, just as the agricultural proverb says, "When it rains in summer, all grains are rice."

By the autumn harvest of the Millennium solar term, crops have matured or are about to mature, and plants have less demand for water. Corn, sorghum, millet and soybeans have been harvested all over China. At this time, if it rains continuously, it will not only delay the maturity of crops, but also delay the harvesting and drying of grain, and the grain that is not harvested in time will be moldy and germinated.

The agricultural proverb says that "the rain of a thousand years is the whole autumn rain", and the rain of a thousand solar terms indicates that there will be more rain in the future, which farmers do not want to see, so the rain of a thousand years is "bitter" for farmers. In addition, the temperature difference between day and night will become larger and larger after the Millennium, and the water is not only turbid but also cold. If you don't pay attention to drinking water after the Millennium, you may have a stomachache and lead to the invasion of cold.

As the agricultural proverb says, "Shut your mouth after drinking the white dew" and "Mosquitoes will wither after drinking the white dew", so for people, white dew is "bitter water".

2, the white lulu is big, and the rice is as white as silver

The meaning of this sentence is easy to understand, which means that if there is a lot of dew at night in the Millennium solar terms, then the grain will be abundant.

Dew in the Millennium solar terms indicates that the temperature difference between day and night is large, which is very beneficial to the accumulation of photosynthetic products, and the grain of food crops will be fuller and the 1000-grain weight will increase. In addition, dew in the Millennium solar terms also means less clouds at night (less clouds at night will accelerate heat dissipation and easily form dew), which indirectly means sunny weather during the day.

As the agricultural proverb says, "The dew on the grass condenses, and the sky will be fine" and "The dew on the grass is heavy, so it can't be the same as the sunset", which fully shows that the dew is heavy in the morning and the weather will be mainly sunny, which is very beneficial to agricultural production.

3, don't bow your head for a thousand years, cut down and feed the old cow.

If the grain crops don't bow their heads in the Millennium solar terms, there will be no harvest and they can only be cut and fed to the old cows. Grain has not bowed its head in the Millennium solar terms, indicating that grain has not yet developed. When the temperature drops, crops will stop growing because of insufficient accumulated temperature.

If the seeds can't accumulate too much organic matter, the seeds of crops will not be full, and then there will be a lot of seeds. For crops that have stopped growing but are not yet mature, it can be said that the old saying is very reasonable.

4, in the Millennium, the underground will not do it; Peace and prosperity met with "double wonder" and the dry valley of Man Cang.

The Millennium is usually in July or August of the lunar calendar. For example, in 2020, the Millennium solar terms will be on July 20th of the lunar calendar, 202 1 year, and the Millennium solar terms will be on the first day of August of the lunar calendar. This year, the Millennium solar term is on August 12th of the lunar calendar. If the Millennium solar term is in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, it is the Millennium; If the Millennium solar term falls in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, it is the Millennium.
