As the saying goes, "March is afraid of Sanqi, and April is afraid of the first day." What does Sanqi mean? Why are you afraid of the first day?
For example, a friend said that the proverb "March is afraid of Sanqi, April is afraid of the first day" has certain reference significance, and some friends said that this sentence may be applicable to the past, but it is not applicable to the present.
What does the phrase "March is afraid of March 7th, and April is afraid of the first day" mean? What does "Sanqi" mean? Why are you afraid of "the first day"? You will have the answer after reading this article.
In fact, the sentence "March is afraid of Sanqi, April is afraid of the first day" is not complete. The complete statement is "March is afraid of Sanqi, April is afraid of the first day, and the first day of Sanqi is not afraid, but April 12." If the old man's hair is wet that day, the wheat will be fished out of the water.
"。
Explain the meaning of this passage. "Sanqi" does not refer to Sanqi in Chinese medicine, but refers to the third and seventh days. As the saying goes, the month generally refers to the lunar calendar, so Sanqi refers to the seventh, seventeenth and twenty-seventh day.
In addition, "crow hair" refers to crow hair, and there is another name called crow.
In combination with the meaning of the whole sentence, farmers are afraid of rain every year on the third, seventh, seventeenth and twenty-seventh lunar months, and on the first day of the fourth lunar month. If it rains on the seventh day of March, 17th of March, 27th of March and 1st of April, that is not the most feared thing. If it rains on April 12 of the lunar calendar, then the wheat of that year needs to be fished in the water, that is, four.
When people used to grow wheat, the drainage measures were not very good. Originally, due to the management level, the yield per mu of wheat was not high, and with the influence of flood, the yield of wheat further declined. Most people make a living by farming, and once the output drops, they will naturally feel afraid.
Let's analyze the actual situation of wheat growth.
In the Huang-Huai-Hai region, in the four periods of the lunar calendar, namely March 7, March 17, March 27 and April 1 day, basically wheat is in the jointing and heading flowering stages. Proper rainfall during this period is actually good. If it rains continuously and the humidity in the field is high for a long time, on the one hand, it will lead to the aggravation of pests and diseases; On the other hand, rainy days will also affect normal flowering.
On April 12 of the lunar calendar, wheat in most areas has entered the filling stage, and wheat in some areas south of the Yangtze River has entered the harvest stage. At this time, if it encounters continuous rainy weather, it is not conducive to wheat filling, resulting in a decline in 1000-grain weight and a reduction in production.
In addition, continuous rainy weather is easy to cause scab. Once wheat has scab, people can't eat it anymore and can't sell it at a high price.
Seeing this, some friends will think that the sentence "March is afraid of March 7, April is afraid of the first day" is correct, but everything has two sides. China has a wide wheat planting area and strong regionality.
If some areas are dry and have no convenient irrigation conditions during the four periods of March 7, March 17, March 27 and April 1 day, it rains at this time, which also relieves the drought and promotes the growth of wheat. Farmer friends are not only not afraid of rain, but also eager for it.
So, this illustrates a problem. Folk proverbs have certain regional characteristics, and not all proverbs can be suitable for the whole country.
As for the saying that "March is afraid of Sanqi, April is afraid of the first day, and the first day of Sanqi is not afraid, but on April 12, the crow got wet and the wheat was fished out", it may be the experience summarized by farmers in some areas before.
If you put it now, it may not be appropriate. Planting crops needs to be managed according to local conditions, not by the weather on a certain day.
It rained on April 12, and then it was waterlogged. There is no scientific basis. Maybe it just happened somewhere in a certain year, and then it was summed up by people and gradually spread to the present.
In today's society, scientific management is emphasized in growing wheat. There are pests and diseases in the field, so we should prevent them in time.
If there is drought in the field, water it in time. If it is rainy, drainage measures can be taken in advance.
As long as there is no extreme disaster weather, the process of planting wheat is controllable by farmers.
As for the saying that "March is afraid of Sanqi, April is afraid of the first day", you just need to understand it, and you don't have to "sit in the right place".
