Leng Buding heard his daughter-in-law say that in a few days it will be the Guyu solar term, and the quilt will be replaced with a thin air-conditioner quilt. I took out my phone and looked, and it really was.
On April 19th, it is the Guyu solar term, which is also the last solar term of spring, and it is no wonder that the temperature is so high now.
As soon as the Guyu solar term arrives, it means that spring has passed, and the hot summer is coming, so is this year's summer hot?
Xiaobian has heard the older generation talk about: whether it is hot in summer, Gu Yu looks at the sky early, that is to say, Gu Yu solar terms can predict the hot situation in summer in advance, so will this summer be very hot?
1. Guyu solar terms and their weather characteristics
Guyu is the sixth of the 24 solar terms and the last solar term of spring. The ancients named this solar term Guyu, mainly from the meaning of "rain gives birth to a hundred grains".
That is, at this time, the rainfall increases significantly, and the rain during this period is also very beneficial to the growth of cereal crops, so it is called "valley rain".
In fact, when it comes to the Guyu solar term, the weather is characterized by a surge in temperatures, and at this time there are already temperatures above 20°C in many places in the south. In addition, the rainfall has also increased significantly, and there are often lightning and thunder weather.
And the arrival of these rains has also created conditions for spring plowing and spring planting. With the moisture of the rain, the crops can be sown smoothly and the sown crops will thrive. Especially for cereal crops such as sorghum, wheat, rice, and corn, rain is especially important at this time.
2. "Is it hot in summer, Gu Yu looks at the sky early", how do you see it?
The ancestors also observed that the weather characteristics during the Guyu solar term can also predict the heat of summer in advance. This is also a summary of the experience of the ancestors' long-term observation, and it is also a simple method that came up with in the past when there was no better way to predict. The basis for the prediction is the various agricultural proverbs summarized by the ancestors.
(1) Don't be afraid of the valley rain, just be afraid of the valley rain.
Before and after the Guyu solar term, it generally rains, and the experience of the ancestors is that it is a good sign when it rains during the Guyu solar term. And the meaning of this proverb is that before and after the Guyu solar term, even if it continues to rain, there is nothing to be afraid of, but it is afraid that it will not rain on the day of the Guyu solar term.
This proverb speaks to the importance of rain during the valley rains. The ancients believed that the rain in the Guyu solar term indicates that there will be more rain in the future, especially after the Guyu solar term, it is the beginning of summer, and the beginning of summer is the first solar term of summer. When it rains at the beginning of summer, there is often more rain in the back.
In the folk there is a saying that "the beginning of the summer does not fall, the plow rake hangs high", that is, it is believed that there is no rain in the beginning of the summer solar term, then there is very little rain behind, and there may be a big drought, and the harvest in such a year is not good, and the farmers will hang the plow and rake. But if it rains at the beginning of summer, there will be plenty of rain in the back.
In addition, there is a more direct statement, that is, "there is no rain in the beginning of summer, and there is no rain in Chongyang, and it is sunny in winter", that is, the experience of the ancients believes that there is no rain in the beginning of the summer solar term, so there is very little rain in the dog days.
Such weather conditions tend to cause the temperature to rise rapidly, making the summer extremely hot. On the other hand, if the rainy season is long, the summer rain will be abundant and the temperature will be relatively cool.
(2) "The rain in the valley is sunny, and there are forty-five days to dry. ”
This proverb actually has the same meaning as the previous one, which means that if it is a sunny day on the day of the Guyu solar term, then this kind of weather will continue, and there will be no rain for at least forty-five days.
According to the 15 days between the solar terms, after the Guyu solar term is the beginning of summer, and then there is Xiaoman, mangzhong, summer solstice, etc., so that it is almost about to enter the dog days.
On the contrary, if it is a rainy day on the day of the Guyu solar term, it indicates that there will be a lot of rain in the future, and there is also a saying among the people that "it rains in the valley, and there is no dry soil for forty-five days".
In addition, among the people, there is "no rain in the valley, and the water is late." This proverb points out that if there is no rain during the Guyu solar term, this will also affect the amount of precipitation in summer.
If there is no rain during the rainy season, it indicates that precipitation will be scarce around the beginning of summer. Such climatic conditions not only affect the growth of crops, but also make the summer weather dry and hot.
In many places on the mainland, there is a saying that "when the summer is sunny, there must be drought", which further emphasizes the impact of the sunny weather on the summer climate.
If the weather is sunny at the beginning of summer, it can be dry or even dry throughout the summer. And if the continuous high temperature does not rain, then the summer is very hot and difficult.
To sum up, the ancestors found that the weather conditions of the Guyu solar term are closely related to the climate of the summer, if it is rainy weather on the day of the Guyu solar term, it indicates that there will be more rain in summer, and if there is more rain, the summer will not be too hot.
On the contrary, it is sunny during the rainy season, so there is less rain in summer, and the climate is dry and hot.
Therefore, the Guyu solar term is coming, and we can also make certain predictions about the upcoming summer climate according to these proverbs of our ancestors and the weather changes during the Guyu period.
However, it is important to note that these proverbs, while of some reference value, do not predict future weather changes with complete accuracy.
Because climate change is affected by a variety of factors, and proverbs are also very regional, they are not applicable everywhere, so you still have to refer to local proverbs. #春日生活打卡季#
