Proverbs about Grain Rain
The proverbs about Grain Rain are as follows:
First, Grain Rain is a prosperous season, and every moment is worth a thousand dollars
In Grain Rain, the temperature in most parts of China has stabilized above 15℃. At this time, corn has been planted in most places, and cotton, melons and beans have also been sown. As the saying goes, "Spring rain is as expensive as oil", abundant rain can promote the growth and development of seedlings and greatly improve the seeds.
The "prosperous flood season" shows that it rains heavily, and this kind of heavy rain, even if it is only for the next moment, is worth a thousand dollars, which also shows that the more it rains before and after Grain Rain, the better. Farmers depend on the weather for food, and the rain in this period has affected the grain harvest this year to some extent.
second, Grain Rain is busy planting cotton in the northern depression of the southern slope.
As the saying goes, "snow breaks in Qingming, frost breaks in Grain Rain", and the Grain Rain solar term means that the cold wave weather has officially ended, and many places in China have already started to get hot.
When sowing cotton, it is required that the soil temperature of 5CM should be stable above 15℃, and the best sowing time should be around April 2th (Grain Rain), so that the seeds are not easy to rot. As the saying goes, "A man by mistake for a moment, a man by mistake for a year", Grain Rain is the best time to plant cotton, and all the cotton-growing areas are busy planting cotton. Only by grasping the season can we ensure that farming is not delayed.
Third, before and after Grain Rain, melons and beans were planted.
As the saying goes, "Rain gives birth to hundreds of grains". Because of the heavy rain before and after Grain Rain, both temperature and soil humidity reached a more favorable time for sowing. When sowing at this time, the unearthed seedlings will not freeze to death, and the soil moisture can fully meet the conditions of seed germination.
In addition, Grain Rain is still half a month away from long summer, and the temperature is not too high. Proper low temperature is conducive to cultivating strong seedlings, which are not only resistant to diseases, but also an important condition for high yield of melons and beans. On the contrary, high temperature is easy to cause seedlings to grow in vain, which is not conducive to the improvement of crop yield. It can be said that "before and after Grain Rain, we planted melons and beans", which is very instructive for agriculture and fully embodies the wisdom of our ancestors.
