: Hey, folks, I'm here again! Let's not talk about anything else today, let's talk about the old saying left by the ancestors - "I am most afraid of May 28 sunshine". You see, the day is coming in a blink of an eye, and the sun is scorching outside, and the heart is in a hurry, like the earth in the fields that are about to crack. Recently, the weather has been dry, and the brows of the peasant brothers have been twisted into pimples. So, what is the mystery hidden in the sunny weather on May 28? Xiaobian will give you a detailed explanation!
1. May 28, when the city god is born to pray for it
Did you know? The twenty-eighth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar is not an ordinary day, it is the birthday of our Taishan City God. In our people, Lord Chenghuang is a great god who guards the safety of one party and has a smooth wind and rain. On this day, inside and outside the village, every household will be busy preparing for sacrifices, sprinkling water on the streets, praying for rain and blessings, hoping to be blessed by the city god, and the next year will have a bumper harvest and prosperous days.
"On May 28th, the old man of the city god washed the street", this sound is full of cordiality and expectation. In this way, the common people express their desire for good weather and a good harvest. But if the sky is sunny on this day, the anxiety in my heart is like a crop waiting for rain, looking forward to it dryly.
May is twenty-eight sunny, and the bamboo leaves are scorched
As the old saying goes: "May is twenty-eight sunny, and the bamboo leaves are scorched." "You think, how tough this bamboo is, evergreen all year round, if even the bamboo leaves are dried, it must be a scorching sun, what a dry weather! At this time, we are on the threshold of Futian, it is already too hot, and another sunny day, it will simply add fuel to the fire, can the crops not suffer?
️ Looking at May 38, there is no rain until the end
There is also an even more absolute sentence: "Looking at the 38th in May, the 38th will dry up without rain." The "38th" here refers to the 8th day of the first month of May, the 18th day of May, and the 28th day of May that we are talking about today. If it doesn't rain for three days, the whole summer may have to fight the drought. This is not good news for our farmer brothers. If the crops lack water and do not grow well, the harvest will naturally be less, can you not worry about it?
It rained on the twenty-eighth day of May, as if the show had just been lifted
But there are times when it's fun. If it rains on May 28, it will be a joy from the sky, and it will be even happier than Xiucai's lift. Why? Because rain is the source of life for crops! A timely rain can relieve many urgent needs and rejuvenate how many thirsty lands. The joy in the hearts of the common people is really sweeter than eating honey!
"On the twenty-eighth day of May, the tiles were broken, and it was difficult to plant melons without water in the fields"
This proverb means that if the weather is unusually clear on the 28th day of the fifth lunar month, and the sun is strong enough to dry the roof tiles, it indicates that the fields may be dry and short of water for the next period of time, and it will be difficult to grow melons.
"May 28 is sunny, and the drought is at the top"
The proverb states that if the 28th of May is sunny, the following days (the hottest part of the summer) can be very dry, with little rain until the end of the day.
