Is it cold this winter? An old saying left by the ancients: Look at the weather in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In recent days, two things have been highly discussed. 1. How long does "Autumn Tiger" bake at high temperature? Second, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. What moon cakes are we going to eat? Can you enjoy the beautiful moon on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival? Can you watch lanterns, enjoy osmanthus and drink osmanthus wine as scheduled? I briefly summarized it. There are only two results that everyone cares about, when to cool down and whether to go out for the Mid-Autumn Festival. After all, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival falls on Saturday, which is a rest day.

Mid-Autumn Festival, also called Moon Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival.

The first time was on the "autumnal equinox" of the twenty-four solar terms in the Ganzhi calendar, and later it was transferred to the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month.

According to the time, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is in the Gregorian calendar in September 10, and everyone has a three-day holiday.

As one of the four traditional festivals in China (the other three festivals are Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Dragon Boat Festival), Mid-Autumn Festival can be compared with Spring Festival. Whether eating moon cakes or enjoying the moon, these are all related to reunion.

On this day, everyone expresses all their good wishes, hoping that life will get better and better and family will get better and better.

In fact, everyone has neglected a problem, that is, we can predict the climate change trend in the coming months through the climate situation on the Mid-Autumn Festival. The ancestors divided a year into 24 solar terms, which is the experience summed up through the changes of natural climate laws for thousands of years.

I have to mention "proverbs" here, which is a simple and effective way for the ancients to pass on their life experiences.

Because it was born in the era of agricultural civilization, it is also called agricultural proverb.

This paper selects several rural proverbs circulated by the people to analyze and see if what the ancestors said makes sense.

The first proverb: "There is rain in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is sunny on the winter solstice;" Winter rises to the sun, and the cattle freeze to death in the New Year. "

Literally, it's not difficult.

The ancestors expressed that if it rains on the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be sunny on the winter solstice.

If the winter in Wan Li is sunny from Sunday to Sunday, the next winter will be chilly, and even the strongest old cows may be directly frozen to death.

Winter solstice is also one of the 24 solar terms, and ancestor worship is also held on this day.

The winter solstice marks the arrival of the cold season, so people begin to count to nine to calculate the cold weather (folk proverb: "The summer solstice is three years old, and the winter solstice is nine years old, so is everyone).

On the contrary, if the Mid-Autumn Festival is sunny and there is no rain, it shows that it will be rainy from the winter solstice.

According to the method of our ancestors, this winter will be a warm winter.

Because there is a saying that "it doesn't rain on the solstice in winter, and it will rejuvenate in the coming year", it doesn't rain on the solstice in winter, and the cold winter will last until the spring of the following year, commonly known as "late spring cold".

Let's look at the second proverb: "It rains on August 15th in Yun Zheyue, and it will be Lantern Festival next year." .

August 15th of the lunar calendar is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival.

On this day, if dark clouds cover the moon, not only the long-awaited moon viewing activity will be ruined, but also it will be boring.

There will be bad weather. "Lantern Festival next year" refers to the Lantern Festival. It is necessary to watch the rain with the lights on when it is time to celebrate. What a helpless ending.

Of course, at such a special time node as Lantern Festival, it will not only rain, but also snow in many places.

On cold nights, rain or snow can even block the lights.

This also indicates that the climate is very bad. The implication is that if the Mid-Autumn Festival is cloudy, the next winter will be relatively cold.

Conclusion Is it cold this winter? The ancestors have actually answered this question, that is, to see the specific performance of the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are many agricultural proverbs handed down, but the meaning is basically the same, that is, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be rainy and rainy, and it will be a cold winter.

The meaning of agricultural proverbs is easy to understand, because in the period of agricultural civilization, climate change directly affected the harvest of a year, so our ancestors made great efforts to observe the laws of climate change in nature.

As the saying goes, "It rains on August 15th, and it snows at night this winter" can also be used as evidence.

But unfortunately, with the continuous progress of society, the environment is constantly being destroyed, nature has become angry, and the original laws have also changed.

For example, the continuous high temperature this year is a sign of global warming.

Whether it is cold this winter depends on the local weather forecast. It is no problem to predict the climate change within one month at present.
