Today, the eighteenth day of the waxing moon is cold, and the great cold is the last of the twenty-four solar terms. In the middle of the year, the hottest month is the unisex month, the coldest month is the ugly month, and the great cold is the middle of the ugly moon, at this time the cold is reversed, so it is called the great cold. As the saying goes: "If the cold weather is warm, it must be a disaster year", is it reasonable? What are the omens of warm weather? Let's take a look at the agricultural proverbs left by the ancestors.
Is it a warm winter this year?
Last year's winter began to be cold after the winter solstice, so some people say that it will be a cold winter that has not been encountered in sixty years. As a result, after 1929, during the period of 3949, the temperature began to rise, and it rained lightly in the north. So the "cold winter that has not been encountered in sixty years" has become a bubble.
The day before the winter of this year, it snowed in many places, so some people said: This year is a cold winter that has not been encountered in sixty years. As a result, this year's winter has reached forty or nine in the "warmth", but the imaginary "sixty years of cold winter" has not arrived as scheduled, tomorrow is a big cold, can not say that warm as spring, but it is not consistent with the low temperature that this festival should have.
Fifteen days after the great cold, spring will begin, which means that this year is almost a foregone conclusion that it is a warm winter. The cold is the peak of the accumulation of cold, after which the weather begins to gradually warm. As the saying goes: "the cold reaches its peak, and the days warm up in the future", that is to say, if this year's cold festival is not cold, it must be a warm winter.
What are the omens of warm weather?
First, the cold weather is warm, cold to February full
Every year in winter, it is always cold for a few days, and the biggest difference is that the cold weather is advanced or receded. And when the cold weather occurs when it should be the coldest, the colder it is. The colder the weather recedes, the weaker the cold. The Great Cold Festival is during the 3949 period, which is the coldest time of the year.
If the cold weather is warm, it means that the cold weather has receded, so it is said that "the cold weather is warm, and the cold is full in February", which means that the cold has receded. However, the more the cold weather recedes, the easier it is to form a "reverse spring cold", and the more the same cold time recedes, the closer the sun's direct point of light is to the northern hemisphere, and the lower the degree of cold.
People start counting nine from the winter solstice, nine nine eighty-one days will be nine peach blossoms, and next year's first nine days of February is the last day of nine nine. If it is cold until February full, it means that the peach blossoms are still cold when they are in full bloom, and if there is a "cold spring", it will definitely affect the harvest of the fruit.
Second, the cold weather is warm, and the next year is full of bugs
The cold season is the coldest time of the year, if the temperature is high at this time, the eggs hiding in the ground are easy to survive the winter, and in the spring of the next year, there are more bugs. If the cold festival is not cold, it means that the cold weather has receded, and the more the cold recedes, the lower the degree of cold.
This will lead to a variety of insects are more active, ordinary insects will eat a lot of green leaves, will bite the roots of plants, resulting in reduced food production. If a large number of locusts are encountered, the leaves of the plant will be gnawed away, which is a disaster year. Therefore, the ancients also worshiped locusts as "locust gods", and drought and climate warming were the main reasons for the increase in locust populations.
Third, the cold weather is warm, selling cattle for rice noodles
Warm weather is easy to have insect infestations, and it is also easy to have "spring cold", and both of these will affect the harvest of crops. In particular, the impact on winter wheat and the fruit that bloomed earlier in the spring was relatively large, because the previous acre of land could not lay much grain, and if there was a famine year, people would not be able to eat, and they could only sell some valuable objects for some grain to eat.
As the saying goes: "a cold night star, grain and rice as expensive as gold", this is the meaning, the starry night also means that it is sunny, if the cold festival sunny day temperature is high, the grain harvest is not good. The less the harvest, the higher the price, so the colder the festival, the better, and the higher the temperature, the worse.
Fourth, the cold weather is warm, it must be a disaster year
As the saying goes: "the cold is not cold, not a year", the winter is not cold wheat is not harvested, the summer is not hot and the autumn is not harvested, if the winter is not cold, the summer is not hot, it must be a bad year. In fact, everything is the same truth, when it should be cold, it should be cold, when it should be hot, men must be like men, women must be like women, and vice versa is not smooth.
