On such an extraordinary day today, my ancestors have many signs of pesticides, including the statement about how much rain will be in the coming year. So, will there be a lot of rain next year? Let’s take a look at what the agricultural proverb says:
", the ninth day of winter lunar month, and there will be no shortage of rain in the coming year."
This agricultural proverb says that rainfall occurs on the ninth day of winter lunar month, which indicates that there is plenty of rain in the coming year and is a good year. Specifically:
"Horse on the ninth day of the winter moon" refers to rainfall on the ninth day of the winter moon. The "sweat" mentioned here is that rainfall wets people's hair. Of course, here we are wet hair to indicate that it is rainy weather. "There will be no shortage of rain next year" here means that there will be plenty of rain in the coming year.
" The clouds cover the moon on the ninth day of the winter moon, and the rain will flash in the coming year"
What we say here is that on the ninth day of the winter moon, the moon was blocked by dark clouds, which means it was cloudy. The sign of cloudy days is that the rain may flash in the coming year, which means that there will be a shortage of rain. But, all day is OK.
" The ninth day of winter lunar month is sunny, and the drought is until the end of June"
This agricultural proverb says that there will be a sunny and good weather on the ninth day of winter lunar month. It is a sign that the next year will be very dry and rainy, and it will not improve until the end of the sixth month of the lunar month.
To sum up, whether there is a lot of rain next year depends on how the weather is on the ninth day of the winter moon today.
