1. Look at the proverb: Snow hits mountains, frost hits depressions, what does it mean?
This is an ancient saying of the agricultural proverb, especially the Frost Descent solar term is coming, and winter is not far away. Let’s take a look at this proverb together. What does it mean?
proverb says: "Snow hits mountains, frost hits depressions." literally means that snowflakes fall, first of all, fall on the high mountains, while frost is exactly the opposite, and it is descending in low-lying places. Is there any reason? Why one appears in the mountains and the other appears in the low places, we continue to talk and communicate.
2. Discuss: the specific reasons for "snow hits the mountains".
Just discussed and exchanged the basic meaning of proverbs, let’s take a look at the specific reasons.
First look at the reason why "snow hits mountains" and is this true! We know that the basic condition for snowfall is that the clouds in the sky form snowflakes and fall below zero ℃. We also know that the ground temperature decreases with the increase of altitude, and for every 100 meters of ground height increases, the temperature decreases by 0.6℃. It seems that the height is extremely cold, which is indeed true. Especially in the current season, although there is no snowfall on the ground, the mountains are covered with snow!
Therefore, the higher the mountain, the lower the temperature. This is the situation of "snow hitting mountains". It seems to make sense, don't you think so?
3. Analyze the reasons for "frost hits depressions".
It seems that snow makes sense to hit mountains. There is nothing wrong with it. So is frost right to hit depressions? I am talking about folk customs and continue to talk about them.
Check whether frost hits depressions. We have analyzed earlier that the conditions for frost dropping are also below 0℃, otherwise it will be a cold dew phenomenon. When the temperature is lower than zero, due to the high density of cold air and heavy, it moves toward low places, that is, gathering in low-lying places.
Therefore, we mostly see frost flowers in the ravines and ravines, which are caused by the cold air condensed into frost flowers. It can be seen that frost hits depressions in accordance with natural phenomena, do you think so?
4. Look at other proverbs and what else is said.
Whether it is "snow falls into high mountains, frost hits depressions" or "snow falls into high mountains, frost hits flat grounds", these proverbs all illustrate a truth, and the meaning is basically the same.
There is also a proverb that says: "The frost does not fall, and heavy snow fills the hills" . What do we mean? In the cold dew season, the ground has not yet fallen, but it is covered with snow on the mountains. Is it right? Is this true?
In fact, it is similar to the previous proverb, which means that during the frost drop, although the ground temperature has not reached below zero, the frost drop has not yet appeared. However, the temperature above the mountains is low, below zero degrees, and the snowflakes have already landed and are covered with snow. In fact, it conforms to objective laws.
In general, as the saying goes, "Snow hits mountains, frost hits depressions." is not only a natural phenomenon, but also in line with the laws of nature. It seems that the agricultural proverbs left by our ancestors also make some sense. Do you think so?
