What are the weather proverbs?

There are these weather proverbs:

1. Don't go out at sunrise, but travel thousands of miles at sunset

2. On March 3rd, take off your coat and change into a cloth shirt

3. It rains at the east rainbow

4. It's sunny in the morning and cloudy in the evening

5. It's drizzling in the morning < Rain and snow keep falling

1. There are castle clouds in the sky, and thunderstorms are approaching

11. There are broom clouds in the sky, and it rains for three days

15. The black clouds started to smoke and hail on the same day

16. There is bound to be heavy rain

21. The low clouds don't go away, and it will rain soon

22. Bad clouds grow in the northwest, and hail comes in the afternoon

23. Swallows fly low and it will rain

24. Fish dive, and it will rain

25. Cicada chirps in the rain, and it is predicted that it will be sunny

26. Earthworms climb on the road. In less than three days, rain came

3. Early autumn greeted the sun, and late autumn rained

31. Dragonflies touched water, and it rained continuously

33. The loach jumped, the rain came, the loach was quiet, and the weather was fine

34. It's windy at noon when the moon is dizzy

39. In the morning, cotton wadding clouds will rain in the afternoon

41. Clouds eat fire and rain, while fire eats clouds and it's sunny

42. It's sunny in the west for a long time, and it's sunny in the west for a long time

44. In these places, the weather changes obviously, and the same climate will not last for many years. Today is a wet sunny day, and tomorrow can be a cold thunderstorm.

Although many people in the world live in the equatorial zone, the climate in this zone will not change obviously in many cases. For example, the Sahara desert is hot and dry all year round, whereas the Indian subcontinent and the western Pacific are in rainy season all year round, and the weather changes little during the day.

Therefore, weather proverbs in the Chinese world are mainly applicable to areas with moderate latitudes, because they have obvious climate changes. However, the applicability of weather proverbs in different regions may be different, such as the sun rising in the east and the rain falling in the west, because most parts of China are in the westerly belt. If there is a rainbow in the west, it means that there is already cloud and rain in the west, and it will move eastward and rain soon. If there is a rainbow in the east, it means that the cloud and rain belt has moved away and sunny days are coming.

second, the credibility of weather proverbs

through continuous observation and repeated empirical research, weather proverbs are hypothetical, but they can also provide some useful information. Because weather proverbs are obtained through repeated observation and practice, they cannot be called unscientific. However, it has regional limitations and may not be universal. The use of weather proverbs for long-term weather prediction is also subject to the subjective limitations of meteorological changes, which is not necessarily feasible.

Because most weather proverbs are not developed in scientific knowledge when they are generated, they lack the scientific spirit of seeking roots. In fact, they only describe the phenomenon without explanation, so there is no theoretical support. However, after continuous practice, weather proverbs are reliable enough to be used in daily life.

Third, the characteristics of weather proverbs

First, these proverbs are the crystallization of thousands of years of agricultural production experience, so many of them can coincide with modern meteorological theories. However, due to the limitation of production conditions and knowledge level at that time, most of these proverbs are an experience that you know but don't know why, and can't be raised to the level of scientific theory.

Secondly, it is precisely because these proverbs are the products of agricultural society that there are great local restrictions. A proverb is very effective in the north, while people who are in charge of affairs in the south have a narrow vision and limited experience, so it is impossible to observe and analyze problems from comprehensive contact.

Third, it also includes the far-fetched combination of feudal superstition and idealism, but if we can study it with the methods of historical materialism and dialectical materialism, it is not difficult for us to select the essence from the rough and discover the wisdom of our ancestors.

Weather proverbs, also known as agricultural proverbs, are popular sayings about weather changes in the form of idioms or ballads. Weather proverbs are basically the product of agricultural society. The history of dictation and notes is full of rhymes, anecdotes and proverbs to indicate whether the weather will be clear or stormy tomorrow. Whether it is farmers who want to farm, traders or others, whether they can predict the weather tomorrow is the key to success or failure. Before the invention of mercury barometer, it was extremely difficult to collect any weather forecast data. Although it can provide a tool to predict humidity change like a weather bar, the most reliable method to predict the weather is still human experience.
