What does the farmer's proverb "Bad summer, drowning mice" mean?
? What do these proverbs mean? Answer in detail below.
1. What do you mean, "spoil the summer heat and drown the mice"? Literally, in this small summer season, if the weather gets bad, it will rain heavily and the mouse can be drowned in the hole.
? This is a proverb that uses visual language to explain a phenomenon of solar terms, that is, whenever there is a small summer solar term, it will be attacked by thunderstorms. Once the climate is abnormal and the rainstorm is accompanied by thunder, it will always rain.
? As for proverbs such as "killing mice in summer" and "killing mice in summer", they all have the same meaning. It refers to a season of light summer and heavy summer, which is the stage with the largest rainfall in all parts of the country.
? These proverbs, such as "drowning the mouse", "watering the mouse to death" and "soaking the mouse to death", are all extremely saying that it is raining so hard that even the cunning mouse has no way to escape, which shows that there is water everywhere.
Second, what does "breaking the summer heat and drowning rats" mean? This proverb tells people that this is a critical period for flood control, and we must be vigilant to prevent floods from endangering the growth of crops. It can be seen that this proverb is of great significance to agricultural production.
? This season really needs timely and sufficient rain irrigation, especially in the critical period of rice growth, which requires a lot of water. As the saying goes, "mice will starve to death if it doesn't rain in summer", which means that if there is drought and water shortage at this time, it will lead to the reduction of food crops.
? Therefore, the main task of this period is not only flood control, but also drought prevention. This is also the focus of farming at this time. A slight negligence will affect the autumn harvest.
? Perhaps it is for this reason that the ancients summed up proverbs such as "Bad summer, drowning mice" and "No rain in summer, starving mice", reminding people to pay special attention to weather changes in midsummer, not only to guard against floods at all times, but also to guard against extreme weather, that is, dry weather, and do a good job in drought prevention and drought relief.
? As the agricultural proverb says: Rain is good for farmers, so don't forget to prevent floods in summer.
3. What are the climatic characteristics of the light summer season? Slight summer heat and great summer heat are two summer solar terms that come one after another. The "summer heat" here means "heat", so a little summer heat is a little heat; Hot summer means hot summer.
? The biggest climate feature of these two solar terms is "heat", which can be said to be the hottest season in the whole year. Of course, generally speaking, from the degree of heat, "light summer heat" is a little less than "great summer heat"
? Another important feature of this season is "rainy", and thunderstorms and heavy rains are frequent visitors at this time. That's why the saying "killing mice in a little summer" came into being.
? It can be seen that high temperature and precipitation are the most prominent climatic characteristics in the northern and southern regions of China during the hot summer and the subsequent summer solar terms.
? Therefore, this season is an important period for flood control, and at the same time, we must prevent another phenomenon, that is, the anti-seasonal phenomenon-less rain.
? For ordinary people, the most important thing in this hot weather is to do a good job of "heatstroke prevention" to prevent heatstroke.
