Time flies, time flies, time flies! As we enter the golden autumn of August, we feel that time is passing faster. Today is the second day of August in the lunar calendar, and tomorrow will be the third day of August. This day is not simple, it is extraordinary. According to legend, the third day of August is the birthday of Zao Lord . It is the birthday of Kitchen God as the people call it,
As the saying goes, "Food is the most important thing for the people." In folklore, every household, whether during a festival or moving to a new home, must first pay homage to the Stove Lord and post his portrait, hoping that the Stove Lord will say good things to God and keep the lower world safe. Folks believe The Kitchen God is the "head of the family" and does not dare to treat others lightly, so he is a god that people worship very much.
Secondly, it can be seen from the old almanac that the third day of August this year is Gengshen Day. In "Jing Zao Complete Book" it is said: "Zao Lord inspects the good and evil of a family and reports the family's merits and demerits. Every Gengshen Day, he reports to the Jade Emperor , the last month will be counted." This means that on Gengshen Day every month, Zao Lord goes up to report. Originally, the Stove Lord was not able to celebrate his birthday at home on Gengshen Day. Instead, he had to go to "God to say good things" to report on his work, which made the Stove Lord unhappy.
Therefore, if it is cloudy and rainy again on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the Kitchen God will be even more unhappy. Not only will God not say good things, but he may also say bad things about the family in the human world, thus bringing disaster to the human world. Therefore, Among the people, people are worried that there will be no good weather on the third day of August, and it will be cloudy and rainy, so if it rains on this day, they will be very worried
Furthermore, the almanac explains that starting from the first day of the eighth lunar month every year until the twelfth day of the eighth lunar month, these twelve days are defined as mother month days, which means that each day in these twelve days One day corresponds to each month of the coming year in turn; for example, the first day of August in the lunar calendar corresponds to the first month of the coming year, the second day of August corresponds to February of the coming year, and so on; and the weather changes on any day of the month can predict the climate of the corresponding month of the coming year. changing circumstances.
It can be seen that the weather conditions on the third day of August can predict whether the weather in March of the lunar calendar will be smooth. Now we can understand the meaning of this saying.
If it is cloudy on the third day of August, there will be sorrow in the coming year.
The literal meaning of this old saying can be extended to understand: If it is cloudy and rainy on the third day of August in the lunar calendar, it is a bad omen, and it can predict that abnormal things will happen in the third month of the lunar calendar next year. The weather is either a drought or a flood.
Moreover, March of the lunar calendar is the beginning of summer, which is a critical period for the rapid and robust growth of crops. If drought or flood disasters occur at this time, it is a foregone conclusion that crop production will be reduced, and farmers will not have a harvest, and they will naturally be worried.
Specifically, the "third day of August" in the previous sentence "Yin on the third day of August" refers to the third day of August in the lunar calendar, and "yin" means rain.
The latter sentence "There will be sorrow in the coming year" is used to set off The method shows that due to bad weather in March of the second lunar calendar, crop production will be reduced and there will be no harvest, so naturally farmers will be worried.
So what will the weather conditions be like across the country tomorrow, the third day of August? Can people get their wish?
According to the latest forecast of the Central Meteorological Observatory , it is expected that tomorrow, southeastern Tibet, southern and eastern Qinghai, Sichuan, central and northern Chongqing, central and southern Shaanxi, central and southern Henan, southern Shandong, western and Hubei There will be moderate to heavy rains in eastern Anhui, Jiangsu, southern Jiangsu, Guangdong and other places. Among them, there will be heavy rains or heavy rains (100-170 mm) in parts of southern Shaanxi, central Henan, western Hubei, northern Sichuan Basin, northern Chongqing and other places. ).
From this point of view, it can be seen from the weather forecast and rainfall distribution map above that there will still be a lot of rainfall across the country tomorrow. From the agricultural proverbs of the ancestors above, it can be predicted that the probability of drought and flood disasters in the above-mentioned areas will increase in the summer of 2023.Summary of
