What does the rural saying mean: "When there is thunder in the first month, people will pile up, and when there is thunder in February, wheat will pile up." What does it mean?

When farmers farm, whether they can harvest well depends entirely on the weather. If the weather is good, the year will be good, but if the weather is bad, the harvest will be poor. Therefore, for thousands of years, farmers have paid special attention to the weather, especially some special celestial phenomena, which are the focus of observation. For example, people have made a lot of observations about thunder, when it hits, and what kind of thunder it hits. They record the impact of thunder on agricultural production, summarize it in one or two popular sayings, and pass it on to future generations.

Like us, when there is thunder in the first month and February, people often say: Thunder in the first month will cause a lot of people, and thunder in February will cause a lot of wheat. What does this mean?

1. There are many people thundering in the first month

In the first month, the weather is still relatively cold and the climate is relatively dry. Under such weather conditions, thunder generally does not occur. Because thunder will only occur when the weather gets warmer and wetter, such as when the dragon raises its head in February or June. Therefore, when there is thunder in the first month, the older generation will think it is not a good thing and there will be problems with the harvest this year.

What is the actual situation? Thunder in the first month means that the weather has warmed and become humid in advance. Those bugs that should have been frozen to death in winter will escape this difficulty and wake up early to reproduce in large numbers in the warm and humid environment, subsequently affecting the growth of spring and summer crops. , resulting in food shortages.

Rain at this time is more expensive than oil in the eyes of farmers, because winter wheat is in the critical period of turning green at this time. If there is enough rain, it will grow vigorously and produce a bumper harvest.

In the eyes of the ancients, these spring rains were caused by thunder in February, so thunder in February was a good omen in people's eyes, and then there was the phrase "thunder in February and wheat piles". One statement.

This proverb is usually spread in the north, and fewer people say it in the south. One is that spring comes earlier in the south, the weather gets warmer and wetter earlier, thunder is not uncommon in the first month, and the impact on crops is limited. The second problem is the sentence itself. It says thunder in February means heaps of wheat. You know, rice is generally grown in the south, but not many wheat.
