This year is "two dragons control the water, eleven cows plow the fields, and ten people share the cake." What does this mean?
One,? Two dragons stopped water? . According to the discipline of cadres and party branches, the second day of the first month is the first birthday. So it corresponds to Erlong, which means Erlong can control water. According to the traditional culture of China, the dragon corresponds to precipitation. For farmers, precipitation is closely related to the growth of crops. Only good weather can ensure the normal growth of crops and a bumper harvest. In farmers' ideology, it is considered that the best state is five dragons to control water, and the realization of two dragons to control water also shows that precipitation will not be too bad, but it is not the ideal degree.
Two? Eleven cows plow the fields? . According to the discipline of cadres and party branches, the eleventh day of the first month is Ding Chou. So it corresponds to eleven cows, and you have to plough eleven cows. For the traditional farming life, cattle play a vital role in the agricultural production process. In a year, if the calculated number of cattle is more, it means that it will be more difficult to cultivate land, and more cattle are needed to cultivate land. It also indirectly indicates the difficulty of land cultivation in the coming year. But for farmers, the less cattle there are, the easier it is to cultivate the land, and the more cattle there are, the more difficult it is to cultivate the land.
Three,? Ten people share the cake? . According to the discipline of cadres and party branches, the tenth day of the first month is the third day. So the corresponding cake is ten people, that is, ten people share the cake. The main purpose of farmers' hard farming is to solve their own food and clothing problems. For farmers, the quality of a year's harvest also directly affects the economic situation of their families in the coming year. The sharing of cakes among ten people mentioned here is precisely the problem of crop harvest. If fewer people share bread, it means that the harvest is good and everyone can get more food. On the contrary, the more people, the worse the harvest, and even famine.
