Preface:
Cold Dew is the seventeenth solar term among my country's twenty-four solar terms and the fifth solar term in autumn!
Today is the Cold Dew Festival on October 8, 2022 (the 13th day of the lunar month)!
The ancestors said whether winter is cold or not, just look at the weather on the day of Hanlu, you can know why? Does it make sense?
Let’s first look at the saying “There is no rain in cold dew, no frost in a hundred days”? So what does this sentence mean?
First of all, "The cold dew has no rain, no frost for a hundred days". This sentence is literally easy to understand.
means: If there is no rain on the cold dew, then this place will not be frost in the next 100 days!
Next, let’s look at the second saying left to us by our ancestors: “ Frost falls does not see frost, but it needs to warm it up”! So what does this sentence mean? The sentence
is also very easy to understand in terms of literal way. It means that if there is no frost on the day of frost, then winter will be a warm winter.
So why did the ancestors say that? It means that when frost falls, only frost is normal. If there is no frost, it means that the climate is abnormal, that is, abnormal. In this way, the weather will also be abnormal in winter.
1 In other words, according to common sense, winter should be very cold, and when abnormality occurs, it will not be cold at all.
Let’s look at the next saying “The cold dew is afraid of sunny days, and the sun is not cold in winter.” So what does this sentence mean? This sentence says:
"If the cold dew appears on this day, then when it comes to winter, it will rarely appear, which means that it will not be cold this winter."
. The warm winter is, and less rain is not conducive to the growth of winter crops.
Next, let’s look at the saying “cold dew is rainy, autumn frost is late”. So what does this sentence mean?
means that if the cold dew appears cloudy or rainy on this day, then the autumn frost will come very late in the future.
means that if the cold dew has a rainy day, then it will snow and rain heavily after winter, which means it will be very cold in winter.
Finally, let’s talk about what the weather will be like in winter if the cold dew is frost in the world?
As the saying goes, "The cold dew drops frost, and the winter is warm", so what does this sentence mean?
means that if the cold dew drops frost on this day, it is not a normal climate, but an abnormal climate, which will lead to abnormal weather in the later winter, which is a warm winter.
Do you think it makes sense? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area! It’s cloudy today, what’s the weather over you, my friends?
