Spring Ox Picture
In traditional customs, every year during the Spring Festival, it is also the time for the Spring Ox Festival. People always use the Spring Ox Picture to predict the good or bad of the year. The Spring Ox Picture is composed of the Mang Shen and the Spring Ox, among which the Mang Shen is the shepherd boy holding a willow whip in his hand, and the Spring Ox is the big yellow cow in the picture. In fact, the emergence of "whip spring ox" is reflected here. People usually call it " spring ". According to the early and late time of the beginning of spring, there is a common saying among the people: spring neck short. According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Etiquette and Records", "On the day of the beginning of spring... people put in the earth and ox plow outside the door to show that trillion people ." In other words, when spring comes, farming ceremonies will be held in farming life.
In the Spring Ox Picture, the shoes worn by the Mang Shen can predict the amount of rain in that year. For example, the Mang Shen’s barefoot indicates that there is more rain in the coming year and people drain barefoot. If the Mang Shen wears shoes on both feet, it indicates that the weather is drought next year, so you should pay attention to preventing drought. If the Mang Shen wears shoes with one foot and the other is barefoot, it indicates that the rain will be moderate, the weather will be good, and the harvest will be good in the coming year. In 2023, Mang Shen wore shoes on both feet, indicating less rain and drought.
2023 late spring
We say that the Spring Festival is called the January festival, and it is still the first half of a month. From the first day to the fifteenth day, the latest is the fifteenth day. This year's Spring Festival is on the 14th day of the first lunar month. Such a Spring Festival is very late, and the consequence of the late spring is that it will bring about a long cold weather, which will cause late spring cold weather. Generally speaking, late spring is not conducive to crop growth and will encounter drought in the later stage.
Agricultural proverb says, "The Year of the Rabbit is in late spring, and I will chase the green ox in white clothes." What does this mean?
We know that 2023 is the year of the Rabbit, and the Spring Festival is very late. In the Spring Ox Picture, the shepherd boy wears white clothes and two shoes. This is a dress that cannot do farm work when the weather is dry, and the plowing ox at home can only rest. This is a sign that spring plowing cannot be carried out in time.
