Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye today is already a big cold festival. The Great Cold is the last of the twenty-four solar terms, which falls on December 20-21 every year. Like the big cold and the little cold, they are all solar terms that reflect the degree of coldness of the weather, according to the definition of the twenty-four solar terms of the great cold festival, the big cold is the meaning of the weather cold to the extreme. In the folk, there is a saying that "small cold and big cold, no wind and cold", which means that when it comes to small cold and big cold festivals, even if it is not windy, we will feel the biting cold. The Great Cold ends at the end of each year, so the Great Cold Festival is over, which also indicates that the New Year is coming soon. Today is the great cold festival, affected by a new strong cold air, since yesterday, the temperature in various parts of the mainland has dropped significantly, many areas have drifted snowflakes under the influence of cold air, and some areas even have blizzards, so what is the omen of blizzards in the cold? Will this year's Spring Festival be cold enough to cry? Let's find the answer from the rural proverbs handed down from our ancestors!
First, the cold reaches its peak, and the day warms up later. This saying is literally interpreted, which means that if the weather is extremely cold during the great cold festival, then after the cold festival, the temperature will slowly rise, and the weather will become warmer and warmer every day.
As we all know, the winter solstice day is the shortest daytime light time in the northern hemisphere, this is because on the winter solstice day, the direct point of the sun is exactly on the Tropic of Cancer, after the winter solstice, the direct point of the sun will gradually move north, the northern hemisphere daytime light time will slowly increase, but the winter solstice day is not the coldest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. This is because on the winter solstice, although the heat on the surface of the northern hemisphere is in a state of dissipation, but because the surface still retains a part of the heat accumulated in the summer, after the winter solstice, the temperature in the northern hemisphere will gradually decrease, reaching the lowest point during the cold festival, so the cold becomes the coldest festival of the year.
The reason why there is a saying that "the cold reaches the extreme, and the days warm up later" is because the cold is the coldest time, so the weather is already very cold during the cold of the year, and after the cold, with the increase of the daylight hours in the northern hemisphere, the temperature will slowly rise. But when the cold weather is not extremely cold, then it means that the cold air has not become very active during the cold season this year. It has been found that when the winter temperature is high, the probability of cold weather in the spring of the following year will be particularly large, so when the cold weather is not particularly cold, then after the Spring Festival, there will be strong cooling weather. In the folk there is also a "small cold and cold thorough, the next spring day warm" saying, the meaning of these two sayings is roughly the same, are said that the small cold weather is very cold, the next year after the spring will slowly become very warm.
Second, the great cold sees three whites, and the peasants have food and clothing. This saying is literally interpreted, which means that if there is snow after the great cold season, it means that the harvest of the farmer will be good in the second year, and the farmer will live a carefree life. The saying three whites refers to snow, but it does not refer specifically to three snows, but means that there are many snows.
The weather characteristics of the great cold festival, in addition to the weather is very cold, the snowfall weather will also become more, in the folk there is "heavy snow every year, not in the three nine in the four nine" saying, the number nine is from the winter solstice solar terms, every 9 days for a unit, three nine is the third nine days after the winter solstice, four nine is the fourth nine days, so three nine is generally after the small cold festival, four nine is before and after the big cold festival. The ancients found that there will be heavy snow every winter, but there is a problem of morning and evening. If heavy snow appears earlier, then heavy snow will appear at three or nine o'clock, and if it appears late, then there will be heavy snow after the cold.
As the saying goes, when there is continuous snow after a cold, it means that the harvest of the crops will be good in the second year. In fact, this saying is still very reasonable, take our north China region, there is a "wheat cover three-layer quilt, the next year pillow steamed bun sleep" saying. The reason why there is more snow in winter, indicating that the harvest of wheat in the second year will be very good, is because there are three benefits of snow in winter, the first benefit, more snow in winter, the moisture content in the soil will increase, and when the winter wheat returns to green in the second year, the sufficient moisture in the soil is conducive to the return of winter wheat to green. The second advantage, the snow in winter, also means that the temperature is low this winter, and if the temperature is low in winter, the eggs and bacteria of diseases and insects that are hidden in the soil for wintering can freeze to death to avoid diseases and insect pests in the next year. The third advantage is that the snow is rich in nitrogen, which is one of the essential elements for the growth of winter wheat, so if the winter snowfall is abundant, the better the growth of winter wheat in the second year, and the yield will naturally increase. To sum up, more snowfall in winter means that the harvest of crops in the second year is good, and farmers will naturally live a worry-free life.
Third, the cold is snow, and next year is another harvest year. This saying is literally interpreted, which means that if it snows during the Great Cold Festival, it means that next year will be a good harvest.
The meaning of this saying is roughly the same as the meaning of "the great cold sees three whites, and the peasants have food and clothing", which means that if there is more snow after the great cold, the harvest of crops in the coming year will be very good. In fact, there are many folk sayings about snow in the cold festival, such as "the snow falls in the cold, and there is no shortage of rain in the next year", which means that if it snows during the cold festival, it means that the rain will be very rich next summer, and it is a year of smooth wind and rain. There is also the saying that "the great cold three whites are fixed in the year of abundance", which means that there is a lot of snowfall after the great cold, and the second year is definitely a year of harvest.
The great cold is not only the last of the twenty-four solar terms, but also the coldest one of the year, so the weather of the great cold festival directly determines the weather of the second year, and the wise working people summarize the above catchy sayings according to the influence of the weather of the great cold festival on the weather of the second year. In fact, the Great Cold Festival is still a very important festival in the folk, and in some parts of the mainland, there are customs such as the Great Cold New Year, making tail tooth sacrifices, eating Laba porridge, and pasting New Year red. Today is the great cold festival, there are still 11 days from the Spring Festival, because this year's Spring Festival is still in the cold festival, coupled with the influence of a new cold air is too big, so in this year's Spring Festival, the temperature is still very low, everyone in the New Year to visit relatives and friends to do a good job of cold measures, so as not to frostbite.
