Reading guide: The rural proverb "a year of drought and flood looks at Xiaoman", Xiaoman is coming, this year is flooding or drought?
Xiaoman is the 8th solar term of 24 solar terms and the second solar term of summer, which is the solar season when the sun runs to 60 degrees of yellow longitude and is in May 20~22 every year.
Among the 24 solar terms, the solar terms are generally divided into large and small, such as the big heat and small heat, the big cold and the small cold, the heavy snow and the small snow.
Full of overflowing meaning, Xiaoman is not overflowing, and it is close to full. The ancients had "humility benefit, full of losses", that is, too much is lacking. Because if it is too full, it will overflow, which is not a good thing, which also shows that the extremes of things must be reversed.
What is the meaning of Xiaoman?
Xiaoman has two meanings. For the south, the arrival of the small full solar term, the increase in thunderstorms, the increase in rainy weather, and the water in rivers and lakes, so there is a saying that "small full and small full, rivers are gradually full".
For northerners, Xiaoman is mainly manifested in the increase in thunderstorms, but the real rainfall days are relatively few, and it is easy to have dry weather, which is manifested in the slow aspect that the wheat is close to maturity. The third season of Xiaoman is the third autumn of Mai, that is, the season of harvesting wheat at the end of Xiaoman.
Therefore, the ancestors paid attention to the naming of the 24 solar terms, which also conformed to natural phenomena and the growth laws of organisms. Of course, it also includes the changes in the weather, the amount of rain, the temperature and so on.
What does a rural proverb mean: "A year of drought and flood to see a small man"? What are the signs?
A year of drought and flood looks small
In fact, this proverb is a proverb of agricultural meteorology, and it is used to describe it, or to predict how much rain will fall in the future, or to predict the omen of drought or flooding.
If it rains on this day or in the solar term, it will indicate that there will be more rain in the future, and even continuous and effective rainfall will bring waterlogging, and flooding will occur.
If there is little or no rain on this day or in the solar term, and the temperature is relatively high, this will indicate that in the future, there will be dry weather or drought in the weather, and the weather will continue or even become a drought.
After all, the end of the Xiaoman solar term is followed by the midsummer solar term, which is the upcoming dog weather, the hottest season of the year. Summer is divided into Mengxia, Midsummer, and Monxia, and the rainfall is the most and hottest in the two time periods of Midsummer and Mengxia.
The common people have the saying that "drought and rain are difficult to fall", if it rains in the small full solar term, resulting in high soil moisture content and high air humidity, once the cold air arrives, effective rainfall will be formed. If it does not rain during the small full solar term, then the temperature is relatively high, and it is difficult for the subtropical high pressure to control the atmosphere to form effective rainfall, which will inevitably cause the drought to continue.
In fact, we can refer to the desert area in the northwest of the continent, because there is a long-term drought and no rain, which also causes the process of difficult to rain effectively. After all, the temperature over there is very high, and the temperature difference between day and night is also very low, and once there is a warm and humid airflow, it will be evaporated into the air and float away, so the effective rainfall is relatively small.
Rural proverbs "Xiaoman is dissatisfied, dry off the ridge", "Xiaoman does not rain, Futian is dead", "Xiaoman is dissatisfied, no water to wash dishes", it is recommended that Xiaoman has the best rain on this day, which is very beneficial to the growth of crops, and it is also good for more rain in the next dog days.
May 20 this year is the arrival of the small full solar term, that is, the day after tomorrow the arrival of the small full solar term, the small full solar term is coming, this year is flooding or drought?
Is this year flooded or drought? This depends on the weather conditions of the small full solar term, although the prediction is not accurate, but the experience given by the ancestors is also a matter of probability, and it can also predict future weather changes.
The day after tomorrow is May 20th, according to the latest meteorological forecast information of the Central Meteorological Observatory, the day after tomorrow there is still a lot of rain on the mainland. It is expected that there will be light to moderate rain or heavy to heavy rain and heavy rain in the northeast of Inner Mongolia, northwest Heilongjiang, the Tianshan Mountains and the north of Xinjiang, the western and eastern parts of Tibet, the eastern part of Qinghai, the eastern part of Gansu, the central part of the southwest region, the southern part of the country, and the southern part of the Yangtze River.
Generally speaking, this year's rain is on the high side, the arid areas are mainly concentrated in the northwest region, the central and western parts of Inner Mongolia and other regions, for the rest of the mainland can be said to be more rain, of course, the rain between the Huanghuai is a little less. It also indicates that there will be waterlogging in the south this year, and there will be drought in the areas with little rain in the north.
There is another reason for the rain this year, that is, because the El Niño phenomenon will end in May and the Laina phenomenon is about to begin, which will bring more warm and humid airflow to affect the continental land, so there will be too much effective rainfall process, so most of the waterlogging this year is more likely!
