The "waterlogging" mentioned here originally refers to too much rain and excessive waterlogging, and here we are talking about the late rainfall or enough. And "drought" refers to drought and little rain, especially in the summer heat and little rain, drought is very unfavorable to agricultural production, so farmers are very much looking forward to more rain in the later period, so that crops do not lack water and hope for a bumper harvest.
The ancestors believed that the weather conditions on the day of the Qingming Festival could indicate whether the later period would be flooded or drought, and it was summarized in agricultural proverbs:
"Qingming wet crow hair, this year the wheat water is waterlogged"
This agricultural proverb actually says that there was rainy weather on the day of the Qingming Festival, which indicates that there will be more rain this summer, specifically:
"Qingming wet crow hair" The "Qingming" mentioned here refers to the day of the Qingming Festival, that is, the day of April 5th. "Wet crow hair" means that the weather is raining, and the crow's hair is wet, which means that Qingming is a rainy day.
"This year's wheat water fishing" here is this year's summer wheat harvest season, generally from the middle and late May of the solar calendar from the south to start harvesting wheat, around June into the Central Plains harvest, and this time there is a lot of rain, wheat harvest season rain every day, and wheat lodging, so farmers have to fish for wheat in the water, here shows that the wheat harvest season rain is too much, very unfavorable to wheat harvest.
"Qingming north wind to prevent summer drought, Qingming south wind and rain is not lacking"
This agricultural proverb says that on the day of the Qingming Festival, there are different winds and omens of rain and rain, specifically:
"Qingming North Wind And Drought Prevention" Here is talking about the north wind weather on the day of the Qingming Festival, so that the north wind weather is a harbinger of drought and little rain in the summer, so this is to put dry weather.
The phrase "There is no shortage of wind and rain in the south of the Qingming Dynasty" is said to be the appearance of south wind weather on the day of the Qingming Festival, so it is a sign that there will be a lot of rain in the later period, and there is no shortage of rain.
In fact, there are also "Qingming fog, summer and autumn rain", "Qingming no rain drought yellow plum, Qingming rain yellow plum" and so on, are all omen of the late rainfall problem.
