Today is the first day of the sixth lunar month, the year of Renyin , tiger, Bingwu month, Guichou day.
The first day of the sixth lunar month is a traditional festival, the "New Wheat Festival". Although it is a festival in the northern region, it also attracts people's attention. And the first day of June also means that half of the year has passed, so it is also called the "Little Year". There are many things to pay attention to on this day. For example, the weather on this day can be used to predict drought and flood conditions in the second half of the year. If you don’t believe it, you can take a look at what the farmers’ proverbs of the older generation say.
Droughts and floods all depend on the first day of June
. On the first day of June, it falls a little bit, and every household has a big bowl
The "fall a little bit" here means that it will rain just right. In other words, if it rains in early June, there will be a good harvest in the second half of the year during the autumn harvest. Regardless of food or vegetables, everything grown can have a good harvest. In this way, people will have plenty of food and vegetables at home, and they will not have to worry about eating and drinking. Therefore, when eating, they will not be reluctant to eat because they are afraid of not having enough food, so they need to use big bowls. Come for dinner.
People used to rely on the sky for food, and sufficient rain was a prerequisite for a good harvest. Especially on the first day of June, the new wheat harvest is completed and the next crop of corn has just been sown and is in urgent need of rain. And when it rains in early June, there will be a good harvest.
The implication here is that if there is some rain in early June, there will be no flooding or drought in the second half of the year, and it will be a good harvest year.
. It is sunny on the first day of June, and cow grass is nowhere to be found.
On this day, if the weather is sunny, it means that there will be less rain in the following days. As time goes by, there will be dry weather, so the grass will dry up and the cows will die. There's nothing to eat. In the past, during the farming era, cattle were mainly relied on to plow the land, and cattle were people's good partners in farming. Summer is when aquatic plants grow vigorously. If there is no rain at this time, it will be difficult to find cow grass.
The meaning here is actually that if it is sunny on the first day of June, then it will probably be dry in the second half of this year.
. On the first day of June, the stream moved, and the seventy-two storms reached the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mid-Autumn Festival
"The stream moved" refers to the rainwater flowing on the ground and formed a river; "Seventy-two" refers to the 72 days from the first day of June to the Mid-Autumn Festival. In other words, it rains heavily or even torrentially in early June. In the following period, there will be more rainy days, and the number of torrential rainy days will increase until the Mid-Autumn Festival. In fact, this is not good for people and crops, and can easily lead to floods and rotten roots and dead seedlings of crops.
If this is the case, it means there will be floods in the second half of the year. People are reminded to take precautions in advance and reduce losses.
4. In the first half of June, gonorrhea occurred in cattle herders.
In the past, the children at home had to take the cattle to the hillside to graze them after school. If there is a shower on the first day of June, the bullfrog herders will be unable to predict the rain time and will easily get soaked. And it is easy to get sick after being caught in the rain.
In this case, it is often a sunny day when you go out, and when you reach the hillside, there will be a sudden heavy rain. If you rush home, the rain will stop. Commonly known as "hot rain". However, the moral here is that if there is a shower in early June, it is likely to continue to rain in the following days, so you should always bring rain gear when you go out.
Of course, now we all know the weather forecast. But sometimes, weather forecasts are inaccurate, but the experience of the older generation is indeed accurate. For farmers, agricultural proverbs can be a good reference and can also help people better manage crops.
However, now in rural farming, the land can be irrigated when there is a drought, and when there is too much rain, the waterlogging can be drained in time. Except for extreme weather, it rarely causes food production to decrease.
Today, the first day of the sixth lunar month, the weather forecast shows that many places will be cloudy with light rain, which indicates that there will be a good harvest of grain in the second half of the year. By the way, is it raining where you are today?
