Summer goes to autumn, autumn goes to winter, and it's another year. 2024 has passed most of the year, 2025 is about to appear, this year's harvest, to be honest, is relatively bad, not as good as last year, like some crops at home, beans, eggplants, peppers and the like, are due to the rain and waterlogging of the previous days, which has decreased, and now in the middle of the volcane, it should be the time when the growth is vigorous, but there are different degrees of drought. As a result, this year's harvest was rather poor.
So will 2025 be better? In the Year of the Snake in 2025, what are the signs of double spring? Why do you say: The snake is in double spring, and the four oxen come to plow the field? With these questions, let's take a look at a year in 2025 and see how about it?
Why is 2025 called the Year of the Snake?
This is derived from the Ganzhi chronology, each year is composed of a heavenly stem and an earthly branch, the heavenly stem has ten (A, B, C, D, E, G, G, XIN, NON, and 癸), and the earthly branch has twelve (Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai). In traditional Chinese culture, the corresponding earthly branch of the snake is 巳, and next year is the year of Yisi, so that means that 2025 is the year of the snake
The permutations and combinations of the sexagenary branches are generally regular, with a cycle of sixty sixtieth flowers, and each year corresponds to a different sexagenary branch, which also corresponds to a law in different years.
2025 happens to be a "double spring", what is the omen?
The so-called double spring is the year when there are two beginning of spring solar terms, and the emergence of this phenomenon is due to the appearance of one leap month, which is more due to the different ways of the year, so as to form.
Because when we talk about the lunar calendar, it is actually based on the cycle of the moon, while the solar calendar is based on the cycle of the earth around the sun. In order to better balance this calendar to ensure consistency with the changing seasons. Then in the lunar year, the concept of leap month is added.
When a leap month is added to the lunar year, it affects the number of solar terms, resulting in two or no spring in some years. In 2025, due to the addition of a leap month, there are two beginning of spring solar terms in this year, so it is called the double spring year.
There are many sayings in the folk that there are many sayings, and it is a symbol of auspiciousness, such as "there are two springs in a year, gold everywhere" and "there are two springs in a year, beans are as expensive as gold", that is to say, when there are two spring solar terms in a year, then it will be very beneficial for grain crops, and it is easier to have a bumper harvest year.
In the eyes of the ancients, spring represents the growth of all things, everything is full of vitality, and crops are more conducive to growth at this time, and there will be better harvests in the future.
Why do you say: The snake is in double spring, and the four oxen come to plow the field?
The year of the second year corresponds to the snake in the zodiac, so 2025 is also called the year of the snake, and it happens that 2025 is the leap June, so we can call it the snake every spring. So how to understand the four oxen to plow the field?
We have mentioned earlier that when encountering a double spring year, it is easy to bring a bumper harvest, but if you want a bumper harvest, the key is to pay labor, so that you can really usher in a bumper harvest, so this four oxen to plough the field, on the one hand, it means that we need to invest more energy in farming, and on the other hand, it is also to show that next year's year is relatively good.
The four oxen ploughing the field comes from the "Pillow Notes", because the first ugly day in 2025 is the fourth day of the first month, which is the Xin Chou day, and the ugly corresponds to the cow, so 2025 is the "four oxen ploughing the field", according to the ancients, the number of ploughing cattle is the more the better, so the four oxen ploughing the field, that is to say, the land is suitable for sowing, and the wind and rain are smooth.
In 2025, there will be a double spring year, which means that there are two beginning of spring solar terms, so the climate is relatively speaking, it is more suitable for crops to grow, and the prediction in the ancient book is that it is four oxen to plough the field, indicating that the field is relatively fertile, and we need to rush to sow seeds, so in the autumn and winter, the harvest will be better, and it is easier to usher in a bumper harvest of grains.
