Today, Friday, October 27, seems to be a very ordinary day, and tomorrow is the weekend, and for office workers and student parties, freedom and liberation will soon usher in.
But for farmers, today is a more important day, because today is the 13th of September in the lunar calendar, and in the people: "September 13 is sunny, widows are everywhere", what does this mean? Is there any saying that September 13 is sunny? Let's find out together, farmers should also be prepared.
First of all, let me ask everyone, is it rainy or sunny in your hometown today? It's been rainy days in my hometown, and this morning it started to rain lightly.
I heard the old people in the village say during the Chongyang Festival before, "I'm not afraid of the rain in Chongyang, I'm afraid of the sunny day on September 13", which means that the continuous rainy weather during the Chongyang Festival is nothing, but if the 13th of September is sunny a few days later, it will suffer. In other words, it rains on September 13.
This is because the 13th day of September of the lunar calendar has a special significance in the mainland folklore, folklore says that the 13th day of September is the death day of Guan Gong, and legend has it that Guan Gong asked for rain to sharpen his knife to heaven on this day, and then alleviated the drought of the local folk.
Therefore, this day is also regarded as a "rainy day", and it usually rains on the 13th day of the ninth lunar month, even if there is a large drought in front of it, it often rains on September 13. But if it doesn't rain on the thirteenth day of September in the lunar calendar, then farmers will have to worry about it, thinking that this is a bad omen.
And the phrase "September 13 is sunny, widows are punished", its meaning is also very simple, saying that if the thirteenth day of September in the lunar calendar is sunny and there is no rain, then there will be many widows in that year, and their life will be very difficult.
Similar statements include "September 13 is sunny and new graves are seen everywhere", which also believes that September 13 of the lunar calendar is a sunny day is not a good omen, this year's winter tends to be particularly cold, and this will cause some old, weak and sick people will freeze to death, so that there are new graves everywhere.
There is also an even more exaggerated statement: "On September 13, the shoemaker is worried about marrying his mother-in-law." "If September 13 is a sunny day, the shoemaker's business is not good, and they will have to sell their wives if they don't have enough to eat.
Of course, these are all exaggerations, all highlighting that September 13 is a sunny day rather than a good thing. Because according to the long-term observation of the ancestors, that is, from experience, the day of September 13 is sunny, at least there are two bad omen.
(1) September 13 is sunny, indicating that there will be less rain and snow in winter, and it will be relatively dry.
On my hometown side, there is a saying that "September 13 is sunny, spikes hang up the rope; September 13; Spikes are going to go up in price. "The spikes here are the kind of shoes that farmers used to wear on rainy days, similar to our rain boots today.
And if September 13 is sunny, so the spikes will hang on the wall until the rope is hung up, they will not be used, which is to highlight that there is very little rain and snow in winter, and there will be basically no rain and snow.
But if September 13 is rainy weather, then the price of spikes that year will increase, because everyone predicts that there will be a lot of rain and snow that year, and they will buy them in advance. Similar statements include "If you are not afraid of the rain on September 13, you are afraid of the sunny September 13th", or "September 13 is sunny, and the drought reaches the end of the year; September 13 fell, and the rain did not stop."
In short, it is the experience of the ancients, September 13 is sunny, winter rain and snow are less, and there may be winter drought, even until the beginning of spring. September 13 is a rainy day, there is a lot of rain and snow in winter, and there is plenty of rain in spring.
(2) September 13 is sunny, indicating a dry and cold winter.
This is another omen, it is better to be cold in winter, but if it is too cold, it is not a good thing, especially if it is dry and cold.
That is, if it does not rain or snow for a long time, but the temperature is relatively low, it is not only difficult for people and animals to survive, but also not good for crops, there is no snow to cover warm crops, coupled with drought, it is easy to cause it to suffer frost damage, drought, so that the yield of the second year is not good.
The reason why the previous proverb says: "September 13 is sunny, widows are punished" is also for this reason, in ancient times, it was outside the male protagonist and the female protagonist inside, if they did not have a man, then the family lacked a source of income, so if the grain harvest was still poor, the life would be even more tormenting. Hence the saying that "widows are being disposed of", which also indicates a bad harvest in the coming year.
Well, today I will share it with you here, what do you think about the saying "September 13th is sunny, widows are punished"? Is it sunny or rainy in your hometown? Welcome to leave a message to discuss, so that you can not only predict more or less rain and snow in winter, but also predict whether winter will be cold or warm in advance.
