Next week, we are about to usher in the Bailu Festival, which is the third festival of autumn, marking the time from Meng Qiu to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and continue to move towards the depths of autumn. "Autumn is not autumn, after the cold and white dew", Zhang frantically spent a season of heat, and finally fled in a daze. The cold air came, making the temperature difference between morning and evening fierce, condensing a string of crystal clear dew, but it could not spread the frost white of the place, and the cold was still a child who had not grown up.
In the "Seventy-two Waiting Solutions to the Moon Order", it is described as such a white dew, "August Festival, the yin qi gradually becomes heavier, the dew condenses and white", the white of which does not only refer to the color of the dew, but is actually the four times with five elements commonly used by the ancients, because the autumn is golden, and the golden white, so it is named to describe the autumn dew.
On September 7, 2021, the first day of August in the lunar calendar, the rural proverbs summarized three major characteristics that will have an impact on agricultural production and farmers' lives. Let's talk about it in detail.
As one of the 24 solar terms, bailu is the sun reaching the ecliptic longitude 165 degrees, the day is generally fixed in the September 7 to 9 of each year, but its lunar time is not fixed, often appear in the middle of July to mid-August of the lunar calendar, and this year is exactly on the first day of August, the time is not early or late.
We know that the morning and evening solar terms have a great impact on the weather and crop growth. Taking Liqiu as an example, there is a saying that "early autumn is lost, late autumn harvest". Happily, this year's white dew is more suitable for the occasion, and the time is just right.
As the rural saying goes, "white dew is white, millet is full of yellow", millet and rice in early autumn will enter the harvest period, while corn and sweet potatoes in late autumn will enter the critical period of management. In the countryside, 2021 has always been the ancient adage of "good farming in the Year of the Ox", and the White Dew Festival is not too early or late, which may also be the main symbol of a good year.
It is worth noting that the white dew season is in the early stage of harvest, once it encounters natural disasters, it will often make the harvest that is available in vain, and there are three kinds of precautions in this season, and farmers and friends must pay attention to it.
First anti-wind
In the countryside, the old people often say that "the white dew blows in the wind, and the crops suffer", because the crops with full grains are now top-heavy and cannot withstand the attack of the wind. Once lodging occurs, it is easy to reduce or cut off production.
Second, prevent rain
As the saying goes, "before the white dew is rain, after the white dew is the ghost", the white dew season rain is commonly known as rotten white dew, the whole autumn will be rainy continuously, the accumulation of nutrients in the mature stage of crops is extremely unfavorable, often there will be a reduction in yield and mold and germination, resulting in a famine year.
Third anti-thunder
Regarding thunder, the rural elderly believe that after the white dew, with the occupation of dry and cold air, they have already bid farewell to the season of less rain and less thunder. However, once there is thunder, it will definitely form rainfall, that is, the so-called "thunder is not empty". Above, we already know the harm of white dew rain, so the harm of thunder inducing rain will not be repeated.
This year's Bailu Festival falls on the first day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the day is the New Year's Day. Next, let's first look at what is the New Year's Day.
New Year's Day, the lunar calendar refers to the first day of each month. In astronomy, the sun is said to be the moon that travels between the earth and the sun, and at the same time as the sun, it is obscured by the brilliance, so the moon cannot be seen on the earth.
The opposite of the New Year's Day is the Lookout Sun, and the corresponding to the New Year's Day that does not see the moon is the full moon that the Looking Sun sees. In fact, whether it is a new moon or a full moon, the moon is always there silently glowing, only because the position of the sun and the moon changes, forming a cover. So, what is synodic string obscurity?
Synodic string obscurity refers to the natural phenomenon of the moon going from loss to profit and then to loss. Because the gravitational pull of the moon affects the tides and weather in nature, it also affects the human body, so there will be a "moon effect" of fear.
This year's White Dew Festival coincides with the New Year's Day, and it is the most recent August when the Moon is close to the Earth, so it is particularly worth paying attention to how it will affect the Earth.
In the countryside, there has been a saying that "synodic days do not go out, do not marry", in fact, there is no scientific basis, I think we still have to pay more attention to the changes in the weather.
Tianyi Festival, a traditional festival popular in the yellow river basin in the north, is held on the first day of August every year, and this year coincides with the Bailu Festival. The history of the Heavenly Doctor Festival is quite long, and since ancient times, successive dynasties have held solemn sacrifices. During the Song Dynasty, it was mainly used to sacrifice the Yellow Emperor and Qibo. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor once asked Qi Bo for medical advice, and later there was the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic. From the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court also worshipped Fuxi, Shennong, Lei Gong, Hua Tuo, Sun Simiao and others together, and the scale and scene became more and more grand.
In the Lubei and Jiaodong areas of Shandong, on the day of the festival, people also use dew to dot the forehead and chest and abdomen, which is called "point hundred diseases". This custom is considered to be the best cure for the dragon boat festival and the dew on the first day of August, and it has become a folk custom to remove the disease and pray for blessings.
Farmers often take advantage of the fact that the dew on the bean leaves is carefully collected for cooking or medicinal introduction, and in some places it is also made into peach leaf paste, and the effect of this custom is true or false, which needs to be deciphered by experts and scholars.
In short, the white dew in 2021 is very unusual, with the smoothness of the season, but also with the contingency, just like the long-standing rural proverb, in a certain era has become a treasure book to guide life, but I don't know how many people will win the recognition of today? #I'm going to be in the headlines##农民 #
