There is an old saying in the countryside that "bamboo blossoms and moves quickly". What does it mean?

Farmers must want to blossom and bear fruit early when they plant crops. Farmers should be happy that the crops they planted are blooming and bearing fruit. But there are cases of flowering and fruiting, but this is not the case. Farmers are not only unhappy, but also say that there will be disaster. Obviously, the flowering and fruiting of plants means a bumper harvest. The happiest thing for farmers to grow crops is the joy of harvest. But this kind of plant blooms without joy, even shrouded in haze, which is the flowering fruit of bamboo.

In fact, many rural elderly people are most afraid of seeing bamboo blossom. Some people even say that if you encounter bamboo flowers, that is to say, you will encounter disasters and some bad things will happen.

There are many proverbs about bamboo flowering and fruiting in rural areas. Some people say that when bamboo blooms, the living will move, and bamboo flowers are a sign of famine. So how credible is it? Farmers' panic about the flowering and fruiting of bamboo is not groundless. These idioms actually express the cause and effect of bamboo flowering and fruiting.

Due to different bamboo varieties, the time of flowering and fruiting is different between each variety. Some bamboos may take more than a hundred years to blossom and bear fruit. However, some bamboos blossom and bear fruit almost every year. However, in the past, farmers planted few kinds of bamboo, so they rarely saw bamboo blossom and bear fruit.

In addition, bamboo flowers and fruits usually appear in dry and rainy seasons. A large area of bamboo will start to die after flowering, so we can't blame the bamboo people for being unhappy. But this is not a symbol of disaster, but a normal natural phenomenon. It is only because such things are not common that people understand it this way.
