What is the meaning of the saying "February Qingming a green, March Qingming grass does not grow"?

What is the meaning of the saying "February Qingming a green, March Qingming grass does not grow"?

This year's Qingming Festival is April 4 on the Gregorian calendar, the lunar calendar is February 23, according to the rural areas, that is, this year's lunar calendar in February on the Qingming Festival, the rural areas of the proverb, "February Qingming piece of green, March Qingming grass does not grow", why the lunar calendar in February on the Qingming Festival, more than the lunar calendar in March on the Qingming Day. The first time I saw this, I was able to get a good look at it.

I. The difference between the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar?

To understand the meaning of this rural saying above, we must first understand the difference between the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar, according to rural areas, there are 24 seasons a year, the Qingming Festival is one of the 24 seasons, twenty-four seasons and according to the sun's ecliptic recording, that is, people say the auspicious day of the ecliptic is the sun as a reference to the Earth, running the year's trajectory, that is, the 24 seasons to the beginning of the equinoxes, each Walking 15 degrees is a festival, a year with twenty-four seasons is a return year.

The solar calendar is the time that the earth around the sun, is 365 days, is based on the sun, the lunar calendar is the combination of the solar calendar and the lunar calendar, the lunar calendar is based on the moon's orbit around the earth and the development of the lunar calendar, the lunar calendar is only 29 days and a half a month, a year of only 354 days, so that the Gregorian calendar than the solar calendar is more than 11 days, after three years, it will be more than a month, to unify the solar and lunar calendars. In order to unify the difference between the solar and lunar calendars, the lunar calendar has a saying called leap month, if there is a leap month in the lunar calendar this year, the solar calendar will have 13 months, through this leap month to find a complementary time difference between the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar, which is the difference between the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar.

Second, the difference between the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar for the annual Qingming Festival?

Qingming Festival time, according to the solar calendar is basically fixed, is in the annual April 4 to April 6 this period, but the difference in the lunar calendar is a little big, sometimes in the lunar calendar in February, sometimes in the lunar calendar in March, this year it is in the lunar calendar in February is the Qingming Festival, that is, February Qingming.

Third, February Qingming a green, March Qingming grass is not born, how to understand?

Figuring out the above two aspects of the problem, for this rural proverb, it is much easier to understand, if the Qingming Festival in the lunar calendar in February, then the Spring Festival is certainly in the Spring Festival before, if the Spring Festival is in the New Year, then the Qingming Festival is in the lunar calendar in March.

Spring in the New Year before the spring, spring back to the ground, the temperature rises faster, the winter cold time is short, buried in the soil of grass seeds and insect eggs are not frozen to death, after the spring, the weather a warm later, the weeds will grow prematurely, then the field weeds is a green.

If the Qingming Festival in the lunar calendar in March, then the spring will be in the Spring Festival, then it shows that the winter time is longer, buried in the soil of the grass and insect eggs are frozen to death, to the spring, the weeds will slowly grow, so look to the field, can not see the green of the weeds, so the March Qingming Grass is not born, it is so come.

February Qingming and March Qingming, there is a big difference, especially on the agricultural production, is a big impact, but through these rural sayings, we can figure out a problem, is the difference between the lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar, and why the February Qingming, what is the March Qingming, what is to say, and what is the impact on agricultural production? Do you think I am correct in my understanding of your sentence? Welcome to exchange discussions in the comments section.

Generally speaking, the twenty-four seasons of the year, the time in the Gregorian calendar is basically determined every year, but the time in the lunar calendar will have a great deal of change every year.

Qingming Festival is on April 5 or 6 in the Gregorian calendar, which is often the beginning of March in the lunar calendar. But if a leap month occurs in a lunar year, Ching Ming Festival will probably be in the beginning of the second month of the lunar calendar. At this time, the second month of the lunar calendar is the weather of the fourth month of the Gregorian calendar, and the third month of the lunar calendar is the weather of the fifth month of the Gregorian calendar, which is a lot warmer than the second month of the flat year, and March, which is much warmer than the second month of the flat year.

Ancient farmers on the farmers' proverbs summarized and summarized, are dependent on long-term production and life practices, and are closely related to agricultural production and agricultural life.

Another year of the Qingming Festival, the warblers fly grass, things are different, spring rain like silk, do not feel worried about the worry!

2021 Qingming Festival is approaching, this year's Qingming Festival is April 4 of the solar calendar, the lunar calendar of February 23, is the sun running to 15 degrees of yellow longitude, the Big Dipper moved to the b position.

Qingming Festival is one of the twenty-four solar terms in our country, but also in mid-spring and twilight spring seasonal transition. At this time, spring and Jingming spit out the old and the new, spring is full of flavor, flowers, a vibrant, it is a good time to walk in the spring.

The biggest traditional custom of Qingming Festival in China is to sweep the tomb. It is also known as ancestor worship, or going to the grave to mourn the ancestors. The rain falls one after another during the Qingming Festival, and the pedestrians on the road want to break their souls. Where can I find a tavern? The shepherd boy points to the apricot blossom village. This poem describes the main customs of the Qingming Festival.

The Qingming Festival, according to the solar calendar, falls on one of the three days from April 4 to April 6, but according to the Chinese lunar calendar, it is uncertain whether it will fall in the second month of the lunar calendar or in the third month of the lunar calendar.

Here you have to understand what is the solar calendar, what is the lunar calendar. This will enable you to determine why the days of Qingming Festival are more fixed in the solar calendar, while the days are not fixed according to the lunar calendar.

Qingming Festival is based on the laws of the Sun to develop, which is also a major basis for the development of 24 solar terms, the solar calendar is in accordance with the laws of the Sun's rotation. The lunar calendar is our unique method of dating, dating, dating, mainly based on the moon's yin and yin and round, that is, the moon's orbit around the Earth to develop the law. So the Qingming Festival in accordance with China's lunar calendar to project the day is uncertain, or in the lunar calendar in February or in March.

Rural proverb: "February Qingming a piece of green, March Qingming grass does not grow!" The meaning of this proverb is that the Qingming Festival is in the month of February in the lunar calendar, and when the Qingming Festival comes, the grass has sprouted, and the earth is covered with a lush piece of green and full of life. That is, spring comes a little earlier.

For example, this year, spring came a little earlier, the spring is in the lunar calendar last year, waxing twenty-two, this year's Qingming Festival for the lunar calendar on February 23, the earth is a lush, green, mountain flowers.

Once the Qingming Festival, in March of the lunar calendar, the Qingming Festival came, the grass has not grown, that is, the weather is still relatively cold, has not germinated. Temperatures are relatively slow to rise. But it is not that the grass has not grown, but the grass grows a little smaller, the earth is still not see the lush appearance of the first warm.

This proverb is another rural proverb: "February Qingming do not see flowers, March Qingming old flowers!" It means that if the Qingming Festival in the lunar calendar in February, then the Qingming Festival, the day simply can not see the flowers, if it is the Qingming Festival in the lunar calendar in the month of March Qingming Festival comes, the flowers have almost opened defeat. After all, the arrival of Qingming, the sun has run to the northern hemisphere, the temperature is rising.

This year's Qingming Festival in general, is a sea of flowers a sea of grass has sprouted, and the earth is currently a green. Mainly this year is a springless year, that is, it is a widow's year, the spring is in the waxing month before the Spring Festival.

Of course, this year's La Ni?a phenomenon is more serious, which will make the northern rainfall is more favorable to the growth of grass and trees, the recovery of all things. Temperatures rise relatively quickly, a spring rain a warm.

But this year, we must prevent the phenomenon of spring cold, because this year, according to meteorological experts predict that the phenomenon of spring cold is more serious. Special cold air, from time to time to the south to advance, and even the northern part of our country in the last two days there is rain and snow, frequent fall.

Ching Ming Festival and China's Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and known as China's traditional four major festivals . These festivals are almost directly related to honoring ancestors, or reunion, or ancestor worship.

This year's Qingming Festival is different from previous years, because this year our country due to the new crown virus, so that some migrant workers in the Spring Festival did not have a vacation to go home for New Year's Eve, the holiday pushed to the Qingming Festival to be able to go home. So this year's Qingming Festival traffic is relatively more than in previous years, which is one of the reasons why this year's Qingming Festival three-day vacation.

And "February Ching Ming a piece of green, March Ching Ming grass does not grow" the same proverbs, "March Ching Ming flowers can not be, February Ching Ming flowers bloomed", and "February Ching Ming does not rely on the front, March Ching Ming does not rely on the back", and "February Ching Ming is not the front, March Ching Ming is not the back". The same agricultural proverb also has "The flowers of March Ming Ming do not bloom, February Ming flowers bloom", and "February Ming Ming does not rely on the front, March Ming does not rely on the back". Many people are racking their brains to explain these problems, but in fact, it is very difficult to make a comprehensive and correct interpretation of agricultural proverbs, because they have regional and historical limitations. For example, planting melons and beans around the time of the Qingming Festival is fine in Henan, but not in Hebei. It's not a good idea to use the same method as you use in the past, but it's a good idea to use the same method as you use in the present.

Many of the proverbs are products of the ancient farming civilization,

or even a product of the Central Plains farming civilization, so the proverbs of the scientific nature of the great limitations to explain these proverbs must be built on the basis of regional positioning.

"A piece of green in February Qingming, March Qingming grass does not grow", this proverb is based on the lunar calendar, and the lunar calendar of the festival day has a great deal of uncertainty, so that the date of the lunar calendar can not explain the exact location of the four seasons and eight sections of the proverb, the proverb is not a certain scientific and persuasive. The Chinese government has also been working on the development of a new system for the development of the Chinese economy.

Whether the earth is green or not, and whether the grass grows or not, the determining factor lies in the festivals, not in February or March. The festival is based on the position of the sun in the ecliptic. The Qingming Festival is the first festival in which the sun's direct equatorial line returns to the north, and the angle of the ecliptic's positioning is 15 degrees. The northern hemisphere is slowly entering summer, and temperatures will gradually rise, reaching the northern tropic of Cancer on the summer solstice, and then returning to the southern tropic of Cancer, and the cycle will repeat itself again and again. Because the solar calendar is based on the Earth's revolution around the Sun, it is the solar calendar that most accurately describes the position of the Sun and the changes in climate.

In the countryside, we often hear that this year's winter is big, that is to say, this year's winter is long, and the reason for this is because of the leap month caused by the wrong concept. Leap month will cause the festival to move forward. For example, last year (2020 leap April), will be the winter festival half a month earlier than in 2019, the Spring Festival is also postponed backward more than half a month, thus creating the illusion of winter big. In fact, winter is still so big.

2023 intercalary February, Qingming Festival in intercalary February 15 this day, "February Qingming a piece of green" is the nail in the coffin, if not intercalary month, Qingming Festival in March 14 this day, " March

This is the first time I've ever seen a person who has been in a hurry to get out of the house.

So a lot of proverbs are unscientific and narrow-minded, including the above, "March Ching Ming flowers are not open, February Ching Ming flowers are open" "February Ching Ming is not front, March Ching Ming is not back", many people are also from the thought that The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.

The February and March referred to here are the lunar calendar, due to the existence of uncertainty in the lunar calendar that there are leap months, that is to say, some years there are thirteen months, so there are February when the king saw the green and sometimes to the March has not yet seen the green. In fact, the blossoms and flowers follow the lunar calendar, so that the Qingming season (the same solar calendar April 4) in February on the lunar calendar has been the blossoms of grasses and trees to see the green, and the March Qingming, on the contrary, did not see the green.

For example, in 2021, the Qingming Festival is April 4, the lunar calendar is February 23, recently has been spring flowers everywhere see spring. 2022 Qingming Festival is April 5, the lunar calendar is already March 6, I'm afraid that the buds of spring buds just sprouted. To 2023 April 5 Qingming Festival when the lunar calendar leap February 15, if there is no leap February, then the difference between the solar calendar and the lunar calendar is only twenty days, to the second half of 2024 the solar calendar and the lunar calendar almost the same month and the same day. This is why there should be a leap month, that is to say, there is no leap month, a year of December flowers bloom time all wrong, maybe osmanthus to October to open, maybe pick flowers in the month of January on the open.

The proverb "February Qingming a piece of green, March Qingming grass does not grow" is because of the lunar calendar (lunar calendar) and the solar calendar time gap size to determine, the closer to the leap month year flowers and grasses the more delayed open, and vice versa, the spring has been full of.

The festival in which the day "cross", would have been a fairly stable common thing, but the vast majority of rural areas in China still follow the lunar calendar, which gives rise to a unique problem: a festival in the lunar calendar, when to cross. This problem is tangled up, nearly three years for this alone I have posted one or two dozen posts.

Originally, in which day "delivery", is not a big deal, but once someone to take this article, and the year, personnel hard to link, to exaggerate a little, is the demonic talk. This will make it difficult to understand.

The main road is simple, to say. This matter was only one sentence: the festival is a matter of the solar calendar, the day of the festival to the solar calendar shall prevail. That's it.

The problem is that there are still people in the countryside who love to talk about the imperial calendar, so they are entangled. This is to talk about the two calendar book "step by step" problem. The solar calendar 365 days, the lunar calendar 354 days, there is no way to "align". All over the world, mainly in the Middle East and Asia, has long figured out how to make the two calendars do not stagger too much. There are only a few places that still use both calendars for their own days, and I don't care if it's the first month of the year or the sixth month of the year. The way the vast majority of places align their calendars is by "intercalation". In China, the leap system was introduced about 2,000 years ago.

A leap, the position of each festival in the lunar calendar to run all over the place, before and after there can be a month difference - there is a range of running all over the place is better than winterization. But the people who do not understand the confusion, good show will find the opportunity to talk. Thus, there are a lot of days throughout the year that can be said: single spring, no spring, double spring, the year of spring ...... can also be linked to the year, a and the year linked to the personnel can be linked: starvation pigs and dogs, "widow year", "more graves" .....

To put it bluntly, there is nothing, it is some two Zhuge in the demonic talk.
