"The rain is born in the spring of a hundred grains, and the catkins are flying in the summer", time flies so fast, tomorrow we will usher in the valley rain solar term, the valley rain is the last solar term of spring, and the arrival of the valley rain means that there is only half a month to summer.
Every time to the valley rain solar term, in the mainland folk have the custom of picking "valley rain tea", and the valley rain tea is the spring tea picked in the valley rain season, the tea at this time is emerald green, rich in vitamins and amino acids, according to the older generation, drinking the valley rain tea has the effect of clearing fire, brightening the eyes, and avoiding evil, so every time the valley rain festival regardless of the weather, people will go to the mountain to pick some tea back to drink, in order to ensure the quality of the tea, we try to pick tea in the morning.
The agricultural proverb says that "the valley rain planted sweet potato seedlings, a tree can harvest a big basket", sweet potatoes are not cold-resistant, and the growth cycle is long, and the valley rain is a symbol of "final frost", so in the case of stable soil moisture, sweet potatoes should be cut early, just as the agricultural proverb says "sweet potatoes are planted late, potatoes are like sheep's beards", sweet potatoes are planted early is conducive to the full expansion of potato pieces, and we can start cutting sweet potato seedlings after the general grain rain solar terms.
Gu Yu is a very important solar term in the 24 solar terms in the mainland, which can be a good guide for us to carry out agricultural production, our ancestors summed up a very rich experience in the long-term labor production, there is an old saying in the mainland folk called "Gu Yu looks at the sky early, a year does not need to ask the gods", Gu Yu is the busy season of spring sowing in the mainland, this sentence means that this year's year is good? We can roughly judge by observing the weather on the day of the Gu Yu solar term, so what is the saying? Let's take a look at what the agricultural proverbs left to us by our ancestors say.
1. There is rain in the valley, which indicates that there will be more rain in the future
The valley rain solar term is a reflection of the precipitation of the solar term, normally the precipitation of the valley rain solar term continental will increase significantly, in the south of the continent often appears continuous rainy weather, according to the experience of our ancestors, the weather of the day of the valley rain can predict drought and flood.
The agricultural proverb says, "The rain in the valley starts with the rain, and it rains in forty-five days." "Rain at the beginning" means that it rains all over the world, and this agricultural proverb means that if it rains on the day of the Guyu solar term, then according to the experience of our ancestors, this indicates that there will be more rain for a long time to come. The "45 days of rain" here does not mean that it will rain for the next 45 days, but that there will be more rain in the future.
The agricultural proverb also says that "the days of rain in the valley are heavy, and the drought is until the end of March". The meaning of this agricultural proverb is that if the day of the rain is a sunny day, then according to the experience of our ancestors, it indicates that there will be less rain in the future, and this dry and rainy weather may last until the end of the third month of the lunar calendar.
Gu Yu is the "middle air" that belongs to the lunar calendar in March, the time of the Gu Yu Festival is bound to be in the third month of the lunar calendar, like the time of this year's Gu Yu Festival in the eleventh day of March of the lunar calendar, to the end of March there are almost more than 20 days, this time period is the time of spring sowing, if the soil is dry, then it is not only not conducive to the heading and filling of wheat, but also not conducive to spring sowing, the seeds that have been sown will have difficulty germinating, the phenomenon of poor seedling growth, and the yield of wheat and spring sowing crops will be seriously affected.
Second, the valley rain blows the west wind, indicating that there is little rain on dog days
In addition, our ancestors will also predict the year according to the wind direction on the day of the valley rain, if the west wind blows on the day of the valley rain, then it is not a good omen.
The agricultural proverb says, "The west wind blows in the valley rain, and the three dog fields crack". This agricultural proverb means that if the west wind blows on the day of the Guyu solar term, then according to the experience of our ancestors, this indicates that there will be very little rain when it comes to dog days, which are the hottest time of the year on the mainland, and if there is less rain, then the soil will be prone to drought and the fields will crack. Dog days are also the time when crops grow the fastest, when crops have the highest demand for water, and when the soil is dry, then crop yields can be severely affected.
3. The valley rain blows the south wind, indicating that there will be many heavy rains on dog days
In addition, according to the experience of our ancestors, if the south wind blows on the day of the Guyu solar term, then it is not a good sign.
The agricultural proverb says that "the south wind rises from the valley rain, and there are many heavy rains in the dog days", which means that if the south wind blows on the day of the valley rain solar term, then according to the experience of our ancestors, this indicates that there are more heavy rainstorms on the dog days. Although the demand for water for crops is relatively large, if there is often heavy rain weather is also undesirable for people to see, heavy rain can easily lead to crop waterlogging, lodging, serious and even cause mudslides and other geological disasters, which will seriously affect people's production and life.
Dog days are hot and rainy at the same time, and the ideal weather is four or five days of sun, followed by a rain, which not only eliminates the heat of dog days, but also promotes crop growth.
To sum up, according to the experience of our ancestors, the weather of the Guyu solar term can affect the future weather trend, the rain in the Guyu solar term indicates that there will be more rain in the future; the Guyu solar term is fine, then it indicates that it is easy to drought in the future; if the valley rain blows the west wind, then it indicates that the dog days are prone to drought; and the south wind blows on the day of the valley rain, then it indicates that there will be more rainstorms on the dog days.
