How does the modern meteorological station forecast the weather? How did the ancients predict the weather?

Modern weather forecast is to use modern science and technology to predict the atmospheric state of a certain area, so as to predict the latest weather. But in ancient times, ancient people didn't have the high technology now, but they could also predict the general weather. So what we are going to talk about today is how ancient people predicted the weather in their lives.

First of all, we should combine the solar terms. There are 24 solar terms in a year, so we can sum up our experience according to some changes in the weather. In this way, we can sum up certain weather change rules, such as? Don't go out at sunrise, but go to Wan Li Road at sunset? Such proverbs are similar to weather forecasts. Moreover, in China's earliest poems, The Book of Songs also recorded some experiences of people observing the weather. But some methods like this, just looking up at the weather to predict the weather, are not very accurate.

Using some equipment, people began to try to use some scientific methods to predict the weather in Han Dynasty. That is to say, in a relatively empty ground, a 5-foot-long pole can be put on it, and a copper bird that can rotate flexibly can be put on it. Then the direction of the wind can be determined according to the rotating direction of the bronze bird, but in modern times, the bronze bird has been changed into a wooden bird. Because wooden birds are lighter than bronze birds, they can predict smaller winds. Some weather forecasting experiences like this have certain practical value until today.

It is of great significance, so from these aspects, the ancients also had some wisdom in weather and had their own methods. Although some methods are not very scientific and the accuracy is not high, they reflect the wisdom and efforts of the ancients. There are many ways to predict the weather. Until today, people have great guiding significance to everyone.
