Today is the eleventh day of the first lunar month, and the people believe that this day is the "son-in-law's day", that is, the day when the father-in-law feasts on the son-in-law. At the same time, the people believe that this day is also the birthday of the "crop", and in the past people would hold a ceremony on this day, hoping that the new year would be smooth and rainy, and the grain harvest would be abundant.
Therefore, at noon on this day, regardless of whether the family is rich or poor, they will cook rice, put 2 bowls, buckle up and down, and then put chicken, fish and eggs on the rice, and insert 5 pairs of chopsticks to indicate the 5 ceres. Immediately after that, the head of the family led the family to burn incense and worship the gods of the five grains.
It is also this day that is the "birthday of the crop", so the ancestors will judge the new year according to the weather conditions on the eleventh day of the first month. Then, the old farmer said, "The eleventh day of the first month should be sunny and not cloudy, and the grain cannot be eaten!" ", is this true? Look at what the farmer proverb says!
I. "On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, there are many mountains of grain."
It can be seen literally that if the eleventh day of the first month is a "sunny day", then the year will usher in a good year, the harvest of crops, people do not have to worry about no food to eat.
In the eyes of the ancients, the eleventh day of the first month is close to the "seven nine", at this time the temperature has slowly risen, the weather began to warm, so this day should be sunny. However, if this day encounters rain and snow, and the weather is relatively cold, it is most likely to encounter "spring cold", and the cold air still has not left.
Halfway through the Spring Festival, everything has begun to recover slowly, and wild grasses will emerge, which will have a great effect on promoting crop germination. If this day is a rainy day, then the next temperature is still difficult to rise quickly, may usher in the "spring cold" in March, when the germinated crops will be frozen to frostbite, waiting for the harvest after the grain production may be reduced.
So, what was the weather like today?
Judging from the latest meteorological forecast, from the 11th to the 13th, there will be a round of large-scale rain and snow weather, of which the northeast and northwest are the main precipitation areas, while Jiangnan, South China and North China will begin to rain from the 12th.
Specifically, today there is heavy snow in the black southeast and southeastern Tibet, and there is heavy snow in the western Sichuan Plateau, southwestern Shaanxi, Ningnan, Gansu Middle East, Qingbei, Qingdong, Eastern Tibet, Xinjiang, northeastern North, and central and eastern Inner Mongolia, while Taiwan Island, most of South China, the eastern southwest, Jiangnan, Jianghandong, and Most of Jianghuai usher in small to moderate rain.
It can be seen that many places are not sunny today, and although it does not rain in the author's hometown of northern Jiangsu, the sky is also cloudy.
2. "On the first day of the first lunar month, the grain pile is full of warehouses"
Some people are curious about what "Trinity" means, but in fact it refers to the days with "one" in the lunar calendar, that is, the first day of the New Year, the eleventh day of the first month, and the twenty-first day of the first month. And today just happens to be the "eleventh day of the first month", which is in line with this agricultural proverb.
If it is sunny on the "Trinity", the next year will be smooth wind and rain, grain harvest, and the family's warehouses will be full. Folk also have "the first day of the first day of the first month, six animals do not eat chaff" saying, the so-called six animals are chickens, dogs, pigs, sheep, cattle and horses, do not eat "bran" also means that the grain is abundant, the people can not finish eating, you can also feed the livestock and poultry fine grain.
Third, "Not afraid of eleven sunny, afraid of eleven falls"
The so-called "eleventh" is actually the eleventh day of the first month. From the above, we know that if it is a sunny day on the eleventh day of the first month, the grain will usher in a bumper harvest, and the people will not worry about eating and wearing. And "not afraid of the eleventh sun" is to say that the temperature on the eleventh day of the first month is still low, has not yet rebounded, the impact on agricultural production is very large, there is a certain chance of "spring cold".
But this is not the most serious, the most feared is the "eleven falls", "fall" is the rain. It means that if there is rain on the eleventh day of the first month, it is more terrible than the "eleven yin", and the whole spring may be rainy continuously, the crop growth is slow, and the probability of spring cold increases, which is a major disaster for agriculture.
4. "Eleven sunny days, rainy weather warm"
The so-called "eleventh" is also the eleventh of the first month, at this time it is the Spring Festival, the weather is gradually warming, the temperature has also ushered in an increase, so if this day is sunny, then when the rain festival comes, the weather will be very clear, the temperature will also rise significantly, which is conducive to the growth of crops, wheat greening speed, higher yield.
Folk also have "the eleventh day of the first month, the rice planting work is clear", the so-called "rice planting" is the southern people to plant rice, in the past, seedling transplanting required labor, not an easy job. However, the planting of seedlings should be carried out early, usually during the Qingming Festival.
However, rice has high temperature requirements, is a kind of heat-loving crop, if it encounters "pouring spring cold", the temperature is still low during the Qingming Dynasty, and at this time, the seedlings may be frozen to death. However, if the eleventh day of the first month is sunny, it means that the temperature rises quickly and the crops grow vigorously.
V. "Snowflakes flutter on the eleventh day of the first month, and the old cow is idle"
Sting is the third of the 24 solar terms, whenever the sting festival comes, it means that the temperature rises faster, everything ushers in a recovery, farmers also begin to prepare for spring ploughing, and the busy farming season will come.
However, if there is snowfall on the day of the "eleventh day of the first month", it may be that the temperature is still not high when the sting occurs, the land has not yet thawed, and the old cattle that should have cultivated the land can only idle at home.
It can be seen that the climate change on the eleventh day of the first month has a relatively large impact on agricultural production. However, in the era of mechanized agriculture, the impact of climate change on agriculture has gradually decreased, so you don't have to worry too much!
