The solstice of winter is coming, and there is a proverb in the countryside, "At the end of the solstice of winter, cows will freeze to death". Is this sentence reasonable?
On the winter solstice, the sun shines directly on the tropic of Capricorn. The sun is most inclined to the northern hemisphere, and the angle of sun height is the smallest. This is a remarkable feature, that is, the longest night and the shortest day. After the solstice in beginning of winter, it entered the day of nine winters, and the cold winter really came. There is a saying that it is called the winter solstice, freezing cows to death. Is there any special meaning? How to understand it?
First, how to understand "winter to the sun, freezing cows"? According to the countryside, this is the winter solstice festival. If it is on the first day of the winter solstice, the weather will be very cold, and even large animals like cattle will freeze to death because of the cold. You can imagine how cold it is in winter.
According to the calendar year, the winter solstice is always from June 65438+February 2 1 to the 23rd. One of these three days, 2 1, is the head of the winter solstice. If it's handed in on the 22nd, it's in the middle; if it's handed in on the 23rd, it's at the end. According to this calculation, this year is a cold winter month with winter solstice as the head and cows freezing to death.
On the day of winter solstice, the weather in winter will be warmer than the first day of the winter festival, so people will be a little warmer in winter.
If the winter solstice falls at the end of the festival, then this winter is very warm, which is what people call warm winter. Warm winter is not conducive to agricultural production, because warm winter is not conducive to freezing pests in the field. After the spring of next year, pests and diseases are prone to occur, and the weather is cold in late spring, which is not good for agricultural production.
Moreover, this year will be affected by La Nina climate, and the cold wind from the Pacific Ocean will blow over, reducing the temperature in winter and getting cold. Although it won't happen that cows freeze to death at the end of the winter solstice in rural areas, it should be very cold this winter, so we should do a good job of preventing cold and keeping warm. Therefore, this rural statement still makes sense.
Second, the winter solstice is sunny, while the Spring Festival is rainy and snowy? On the day of winter solstice, there are still many rural proverbs, such as sunny winter solstice and rainy and snowy during the Spring Festival. How to understand it? Literally, if it is sunny from winter solstice to Sunday, it will rain and snow before and after the Spring Festival, and it will rain for several days, mostly referring to the weather in the south.
For the north, there is a saying that it snows on the solstice in winter, which means that it snows most of the time in the north, but if it snows on the solstice in winter, it will still snow on the next 8 1 day, that is, when spring is in full bloom.
As far as agricultural production is concerned, there is a saying in the countryside, that is, to cover three quilts and sleep in steamed buns in the coming year. These three quilts will be covered with heavy snow. China has a vast territory, rich natural resources and a somewhat different climate. If it is sunny in winter in the south, it will snow around the Spring Festival, while it will snow from winter to Sunday in the north, and it will still snow this spring, which is conducive to increasing agricultural income.
In fact, for us southerners, whether it is agricultural production or rural life, we always hope that it will snow in winter, because it can alleviate the drought and meet the expectations of southerners for snow. When it snows, we will make a snowman and have a snowball fight and have a good time.
Of course, up to now, these rural proverbs are not necessarily accurate in 10, but they are summarized by farmers in their daily production and life, which is of certain significance to guiding agricultural production. With the progress of agricultural production and the improvement of scientific and technological level, we still take accurate weather forecast as the standard.
