Guyu, the 6th of the 24 solar terms, after the arrival of the Guyu solar term, the temperature rises, the weather gradually warms, and the temperature difference between day and night gradually decreases. At the same time, rainfall increases, and sometimes thunderstorms occur.
The valley rain solar term is closely related to agricultural planting, and the ancients had the saying that "rain gives birth to a hundred grains". There are also some agricultural proverbs about the valley rain, among which, there are many agricultural proverbs about whether it is better to have a sunny day or a rainy day.
In this article, the author will combine specific agricultural proverbs to talk about this matter in detail to see which weather is better, and you will have the answer after reading it.
"A rain before and after the valley rain is better than a show"
The meaning of this agricultural proverb is that if there is a rain before and after the solar term of Guyu, then the joy for the farmers is even greater than the joy of Xiucaizhongju.
During the rainy season, many crops are in the sowing or growing season, and the demand for water is great, and a rainfall at this time can provide sufficient water for crops and promote the growth and development of crops.
Let's take a look at "better than a show". In ancient times, it was a very difficult thing to show talents, and it needed to go through layers of selection and examinations, which was very rare for ordinary people. However, in the eyes of farmers, the rain before and after the rain is more important than that of Xiucai.
Obviously, this is because rain is directly related to the growth and harvest of crops, and the harvest of crops is related to the life of farmers for a year. Therefore, for farmers, the importance of rain before and after the grain rain is self-evident. From this agricultural proverb alone, it is a good thing for the valley to rain down.
"There is rain in the valley, there is rice in the tank; there is no rain in the valley, and the bucket is provoked"
Let's take a look at "there is rain in the valley, and there is rice in the tank". During the grain rain, it is the period of sowing and seedling emergence of spring sowing crops, and it is also the period of booting and heading of winter wheat. At this time, the crops have a greater demand for water, and if it rains during the rainy season, the crops can get enough water to promote growth.
And "rice in the jar" symbolizes a good harvest, which means that farmers can harvest a full grain and store it in the jar for daily use. Like the first sentence, it also shows that the rain in the valley is a good thing.
Let's take a look at "the valley rain is not raining, and the bucket is provoked". This means that if there is no rain during the rainy season, then the crops will face the dilemma of water shortage, growth will be inhibited, and yields will also be affected. In this case, farmers need to use buckets and other tools to carry water for irrigation to ensure the normal growth of crops.
In the past, people did not have convenient irrigation conditions for farming, and when there was a drought, they either waited for rain or went to fetch water to irrigate the land. It also shows from the side that if it does not rain on the day of the valley rain, it indicates that the subsequent rain will be relatively small.
Therefore, judging from the meaning expressed by this agricultural proverb alone, if it rains in the valley, the crops will get a bumper harvest, and if it does not rain, it needs to carry water to water the ground, and if it is not watered, it will affect the yield, which also shows that the rain in the valley is a good thing.
"Gu Yuyu has a good year, Gu Yuqing owes a year"
This agricultural proverb means that if there is rain during the rainy season, it will be a good year, but if the weather is sunny and rainless during the rainy season, then agricultural production may be affected and the crops will not be harvested, or it will be a bad year.
When it rains during the rainy season, it helps to improve soil moisture, provide a better environment for crops to grow, and increase yields accordingly. "Good year of valley rain and rain" symbolizes that this year's agricultural production will be harvested, and farmers will usher in a hopeful year.
On the other hand, if the weather is clear and rainless during the rainy season, then the crops will face a shortage of water. Soils that lack moisture can cause crops to grow slowly and even wilt. Therefore, "the rainy and sunny year is not good" indicates that agricultural production may be affected this year, and the harvest is not as expected.
After reading the above three agricultural proverbs, it is obvious to draw a conclusion, that is, it rains well in the rainy season, but the sunny day is not good, which is all summed up from the perspective of agricultural planting.
Some friends will ask, is it not good to have a sunny day? The answer is not absolute. For example, some areas have been raining some time ago, and the temperature is still low, which has delayed the sowing of spring crops, for local growers, they hope that the weather will be sunny as soon as possible, the temperature will warm, and the sowing time of spring crops will not be delayed.
Based on the above, according to the agricultural proverb, it is good to rain in the rainy season in the valley, and it is not good to have a sunny day (you can refer to it). However, from a multifaceted point of view, the continent is extensive, some places need rainfall, some places need sunny days, and the needs are different, and the answer will be different.
Today's Gu Yu, we are here on a rainy day, where are you?
