"In the year of Tai Sui Jiachen, half of the rice and hemp are empty. Spring and summer are flooded, and autumn and winter are inaccessible. Ludi mulberry leaves are good, and Wubang Valley is not abundant. Mulberry abandonment is expensive at the end, and congratulations to the good insects. The appraisal price is expensive, and the snow freezes in the third winter. ”
As the footsteps of the small full solar term approach, the heat and humidity of summer are intertwined into a vivid picture. However, in this season full of life, we can't help but ask: will the summer of 2024 be particularly rainy? What will happen this year?
Since ancient times, people have been full of awe and curiosity about the changes in the heavens. People of the older generation often say, "Look at Gengchen in April", what does this mean?
Is it really possible to get a glimpse of the weather throughout the summer and even the whole year from a particular day in April? In today's ever-changing world of science and technology, should we still believe these old proverbs and prophecies?
01
The prophecy of the Jiachen year in the "Mother Earth Sutra" "flooded in spring and summer" seems to indicate that this summer's rain will be more abundant.
This prediction coincides with the actual situation of the heavy rain disaster in Guangdong this spring, which cannot help but make people think more deeply about the predictions in ancient books. Therefore, there is good reason to speculate that the summer of 2024 may be relatively rainy.
With such a forecast, we need to be well prepared for the problems caused by the possible increase in rain. The city's drainage system needs to be cleaned and maintained in a timely manner to prevent waterlogging and water accumulation caused by heavy rainfall.
At the same time, the drainage ditches in the field need to be repaired in advance to ensure that the crops can safely survive the rainy season and avoid damage to the crops due to excessive rainfall.

In addition to the prediction of rain, the Mother Earth Sutra also mentions the situation of the year. Among them, "Soga Good Insects" may indicate that this year's crops may be affected by insect infestations, posing a threat to agricultural production.
At the same time, the description of "beans and wheat have not been fruitful, and the six animals have also suffered" also further confirms the forecast that this year's annual outlook may not be optimistic. Crop yields may be affected, which is a huge challenge for regions that rely on agricultural production.
In order to deal with possible insect infestations and poor harvests, farmers need to pay close attention to the weather and the growth of crops, and take timely pest control measures, such as using biological control, chemical control and other methods to reduce the occurrence of insect pests.
At the same time, the government and relevant departments also need to increase support for agriculture and provide necessary financial and technical support to help farmers tide over the difficulties.

The old saying "look at Gengchen in April" reflects the keen observation and deep understanding of the ancients about the changes in the time of day.
On the ninth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, it is the Gengchen day of the Jiachen year, and if there is thunder on this day, according to the observation of the ancients, it may indicate that the weather will be less stable in the future, and the year may not be good.
This method of predicting future weather and annual scenarios by observing weather phenomena on a specific day has certain limitations, but it reflects the ancient people's reverence for nature and the summary of life experience.
In modern society, although we have more advanced science and technology to predict weather and year, this ancient wisdom still has some reference value.
In order to verify the accuracy of this statement, we can pay attention to the weather conditions on the ninth day of the fourth lunar month and conduct a comprehensive analysis in combination with modern weather forecasts.
If we find abnormal weather phenomena such as thunder, we can take measures in advance to reduce potential risks and losses.
At the same time, we must also recognize the limitations of this forecasting method, and cannot rely entirely on it to guide our production and life.
In today's rapid development of science and technology, we should combine modern science with ancient wisdom to better predict and respond to future weather changes.
While modern technology has come a long way in weather forecasting, ancient wisdom and proverbs can still provide us with a unique perspective and reference.
In the face of the challenges of a possible increase in rain and a year, we should plan and prepare in advance, combining modern science and ancient wisdom to deal with the uncertainty of the future.
Let us cherish and inherit these ancient wisdoms, and at the same time continue to explore and innovate to provide a more solid guarantee for future life and production.
