Cold Dew , the seventeenth solar term among the twenty-four solar terms, is also the end of the month of You and the beginning of the month of Xu. With the arrival of the cold dew season, people can clearly feel the changes in temperature difference. As the temperature continues to decline, the cold air increases, and everything gradually becomes desolate.
There are many folk sayings about cold dew. Among them, the "Five Fears" summarized by ancient people based on experience still have something worth learning from. Some friends may ask, what do these "five fears" mean? Why are you afraid? The author will talk about this in detail about the content of this article, and you will have the answer after reading it.
- First fear: thunder
Regarding the thunder on the cold dew, there is a folk saying among the people that "the thunder resounds before and after the cold dew, and the rain will soak into a marsh in the next year", "The cold dew has thunder, and the rain will rain in the next year". The meaning expressed by is basically similar, and they all say that the cold dew thunder that day is thunder, which indicates that there is relatively more rain in the next year.
Everyone knows that rainwater is suitable. If there is too much rainwater, the chance of waterlogging will increase, which is not only unfavorable to people's daily life, but also not conducive to the normal growth of crops in the field. Therefore, people are more afraid of the thunder that day when the cold dew strikes.
- Second fear: frost
There is a folk saying "Cotton is afraid of continuous rain in August, and rice is afraid of cold dew for a while." roughly means that cotton is afraid of continuous rain in August, and rice is afraid of frost on the day. The rice here mainly refers to late rice.
During the Cold Dew solar term, for the late rice planting areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in , , , the late rice planting area in the south China region is in the heading and flowering period. If frost occurs, it will affect the flowering and pollination of late rice to a certain extent, resulting in poor insemination, which will increase the empty grains of rice, reduce the fruit rate, decrease the weight of thousands of grains, and the final yield cannot be improved.
Therefore, for areas where late rice is planted, the cold dew period is a critical period for rice growth. We do not want to encounter frost weather, and farmers are also more afraid of cold dew frost.
- Third fear: drought
The point on this is about rice. This point talks about wheat in the northern region. The cold dew season is the peak period for wheat planting in many places in the north. Planting wheat requires good soil moisture. If the fields are drought, the rate of emergence will be reduced after the wheat is sown.
If the cold dew still maintains a long period of drought, some farmers will choose to irrigate and water after sowing, while some farmers will choose to delay sowing. The former will increase manpower and material resources, while the latter will increase the sowing volume, and at the same time, it will shorten the wheat breeding period.
If it rains during the local cold dew, it will play a positive role in the sowing of wheat, especially in areas where there is no rain for a long time. Raining of cold dew is considered "timely rain". Therefore, for farmers who grow wheat, they are more afraid of cold dew drought.
- The fourth fear: revealing your feet
Agricultural proverb " white dew body is not exposed, cold dew feet are not exposed", what means is that you can't be shirtless during the white dew season, and in the cold dew season, you can't wear sandals or slippers. The reason for not showing your body and feet is mainly due to the drop in temperature. Compared with white dew, the temperature drop is more obvious, the temperature difference increases further, and the cold air has arrived.
If you still choose to expose your feet during the cold dew, the cold air may invade the inside of the body from the soles of the feet, causing other discomfort in the body, which is also the reason why the cold dew is afraid of exposing her feet. The soles of the feet can be seen as a part of the human body that is more likely to accept wind and cold. In cold weather, people choose to soak their feet in hot water to keep them cold, which shows the importance of the feet.
Therefore, for your own health, after reaching the cold dew, don’t wear slippers, sandals and other shoes that are easy to expose your feet, but wear shoes that wrap all your feet.
- The fifth fear: blindly supplement
After entering cold dew, the temperature will further decrease and people's appetite will also increase. At the same time, some people will choose to use food tonic to resist the severe cold. Although this practice is allowed to a certain extent, remember one thing to remember is not to blindly supplement.If you blindly take supplements, the opposite effect may occur, which is also the reason for fear.
You can eat more fresh vegetables, such as cabbage, radish , lotus root, cauliflower, pumpkin, taro, etc. In addition, sesame and tremella can also be eaten more. Try to eat less or not to eat high-calorie foods such as foods with high salt content, too spicy foods, big fish and meat, and don’t drink cold drinks anymore.
The above is related to the "Five Fears" of the Cold Dew Solar Period, which includes many aspects. I hope everyone can avoid it. While crops are high, you can also spend the winter healthily and safely.
