Today, on the third day of the sixth month, the old man said that "I am most afraid of the rain on the third night of the first month of June", what is the saying? Check it out
The time has come to June, which means that it has entered the "second half of the year". Today is the third day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and this day has a special meaning for farmers in the mainland.
In the past, farmers used the weather on this day to predict the amount of rain in the second half of the year, and the older generation said, "I am not afraid of the first day of June, but I am afraid of the rain on the third night of the first month."
So, why were the ancients so afraid of rain on the third night of the sixth month? Any explanation? Let's take a look at what the wisdom of our ancestors said.
In fact, in the past, farmers did not have more advanced methods of predicting the weather, and basically relied on some proverbs summarized by their predecessors as a reference to predict the weather, and then prepare in advance to reduce losses. The weather on the third day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar is very special, and the ancients believed that it could predict the weather conditions for a later period of time.
For example, the ancients believed that if it rained on the third day of the sixth lunar month, then the rain would be more abundant in the following period. But if it is sunny and there is no rain on this day, there will be less rain in the future, and there may be a "big drought".
Here we can learn from the agricultural proverbs handed down by the ancients, including the saying that "three rains in the beginning of June, and many days in July", where "晡" refers to three o'clock to five o'clock in the afternoon, and the folk refer to the thunderstorm in the summer afternoon.
Therefore, the meaning of this proverb is that if it rains on the third day of the sixth lunar month, then it will rain a lot in the following period, especially after entering July, and there will often be thundershowers in the afternoon.
There is also a similar proverb that "the third day of the sixth month is a dusk formation, and the rice is sleepy in the upper day and the lower day is sleepy", which refers to the fact that in the evening of the third day of the sixth lunar month, if there is also heavy rainfall, then there will often be heavy rain in the afternoon, so that the farmers can go to work in the fields in the morning and sleep at home in the afternoon.
Because if it rains, it's not convenient to work outside. And there is another meaning of this statement, which is that rainfall is good for the growth of crops, even if farmers do not have to go out early and return late all day, the crops will also be harvested, which also highlights that rain has played a great help.
On the contrary, if it is a sunny day on the third day of the sixth lunar month, it is not a good sign. There is a saying among the people that "the third day of June is sunny, and the old bamboo forest dies by drought", which means that there is no rain on the third day of June, and it is a sunny day, so there will be drought and little rain later, and even the drought-tolerant bamboo forest may also be killed by drought.
Bamboo is very vigorous, and it is generally after a major drought that a large area dies. In the past, it was believed that the death of bamboo was not a good sign, and the bamboo would bloom before death, and there was a saying in the folk that "the bamboo blooms and moves as soon as possible".
At the same time, the ancients, who were good at observation, also discovered that on the third day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, there are different sayings about rain at different times, such as the agricultural proverb "On the third day of the sixth lunar month, the upper and lower heavens must be dry, the lower days must be connected, and the evening rains for 72 days".
It means that on the third day of the sixth lunar month, if it rains in the morning, it often indicates that there will not be too much rain in the future. However, if it rains in the afternoon, it will rain for a while.
And when it rains at night, it indicates that there will be a lot of rain in the future, and it will rain for 72 days in a row. 72 days is two months, and it is no wonder that the ancients said that "I am most afraid of rain on the night of the third day of the first month of June". Of course, this is an exaggeration, which means that there is more rain in the back.
And in the past, there was a saying that "if you are not afraid of the first day of June, you are afraid of the rain on the third night of the first month", because the ancients believed that if it rained on the first day of June, there would be rain for days.
For example, the agricultural proverb says, "One rain in the first month of June, forty-five days of storm", that is, there may be 45 consecutive days of rain. However, if it rains on the night of the third day of the sixth lunar month, it will be as rainy as 72 days.
Regarding the rain on the third day of the first month of June, there are also "rain at night on the third day of the first month of June, 72 days of continuous cloud", "a burst of rain on the third day of the first day of June, and the wind tide at night until the beginning of autumn", etc., all say that there is a lot of rain in the back. This obviously does not bode well, proper rainfall is good for agriculture, but everything is about "too much", and too much is a disaster.
Today's third day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, Xiaobian's hometown is sunny here, it will not rain at night, and the weather forecast says that it will not rain in the next ten days. #头条创作挑战赛#
