Peach trees with rain and solar terms
We old farmers are not afraid of hardship and fatigue, and we are afraid that the weather is not strong. Although most people go out to work, crops are planted on the land at home. Wheat turns green, grows up, peas stick out their tentacles, and peach and cherry trees just sprout. The sudden arrival of this rainy and snowy weather will reduce the production of crops, especially greenhouse vegetables. If a snowstorm comes and the greenhouse collapses, the consequences will be unimaginable. There will be a blizzard in this "August 9" weather. The ancients had no weather forecast. How did they sum it up? Let's see what the proverb says.
First, the rainy season hangs on the ice, and there is a cold spring in March.
This proverb means that when the rain is a solar term, there is an ice ridge under the eaves, and then there will be late spring cold in March. As we know, rain is the second solar term in spring, when the temperature rises. Because the cold air is still unwilling to go south, the cold and warm airflow meet to form rain, which is very important for crops. As the saying goes, "Spring rain is as expensive as oil", so proper rain during the rainy period is a sign of a bumper harvest.
But it snowed heavily under the rain and solar terms, and the temperature was very cold. After the sun came out, snowflakes piled up and melted into water. The temperature is low in the morning and evening, and ice ridges are everywhere under the eaves. The snow and ice still don't go in March, which is the so-called "late spring cold", which is very unfavorable to crop growth and crop yield reduction is inevitable. This is also what the ancients were most afraid of. It heralds a disaster year, after all, people made a living from agriculture at that time.
Second, the snow falls, and the spring is chilly.
This proverb means that the heavy snow occurs at the beginning of August 9th, so the temperature will be very high and cold in the whole spring, because it takes more than two months from the beginning of beginning of spring to the end of Grain Rain in spring, and the winter 99 ballad "79 opens, 89 geese come, 99 adds 19, and cows are everywhere".
It can be seen from here that the swallows have flown back during the "August 9" period, which indicates that the temperature is rising, the earth is thriving, and there is a beautiful scene of spring.
However, in August and September, a heavy snow suddenly fell, so the rest of the spring was basically spent in cold weather. Not only is the human body prone to illness, but crops will also be frozen. People need to put on clothes in time to keep out the cold, and at the same time take warm measures for crops to avoid freezing.
Three, the rain and heavy snow, cloudy to cold for Grain Rain.
This proverb means that when it rains, there are snowflakes floating in the sky and the earth, so the weather will be cloudy and cold for some time to come until the Grain Rain solar term. As we know, Grain Rain solar term is the last solar term in spring, and it will enter summer after Grain Rain solar term, which means that spring will be spent in the cold.
Spring is always dry and rainy. If it rains and snows in spring, it will rain more frequently in summer, because the origin of solar terms in Grain Rain is that rainfall increases and everything is aquatic. Therefore, it is also the greatest concern of the ancients to prepare for drainage in advance to avoid flooding crops and reducing crop yield.
In short, the rain and snow hit again, and the "cold spring" was crucified? These proverbs tell us that it will not be warm this spring, so we should take good measures to keep warm and avoid catching a cold, and at the same time take timely measures to avoid freezing injury of crops to resist the attack of "late spring cold".
