Will there be a serious drought in 2023? The old farmer said that this year, "ten cows plow the fields." How was that year?

As we all know, since the New Year, the rainfall in the north and south of China has decreased significantly, especially in the south. The drought for several days has delayed this year's rice transplanting, which not only reminds people of the second half of last year, but also makes it difficult to irrigate rice fields and even villagers have to be careful in drinking water because of lack of water. Now this situation has happened again. Will there be another drought in 2023? The old farmer said that this year is "ten cows ploughing the fields". What is a year like?

China has been a farming society since ancient times, and agriculture is the basis for people's survival. In order to survive, they hope for good weather. However, there was no weather forecast in ancient times. According to their long-term life experience, the older generation summed up some sayings, such as "Two Dragons Out of the Water", "Four Horses Cameled Valley", "Eleven Cattle Tilling the Field" and "Six People Sharing the Cake". These are all people praying to heaven for a bumper harvest.

To understand the origin of these statements, we must first understand the "heavenly stems and earthly branches chronology method". The ancients formulated the chronology of cadres and branches according to the astronomical phenomena. The so-called ten-day cadres: A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Ke, Xin, Ren and Gui; Twelve earthly branches: Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai, Tiangan and Earthly Branches are arranged in turn to form 60 timing serial numbers, which are used as the year, month, day and hour of the calendar. 60 years is a year, and 60 days is roughly equal to 2 months, which is also one.

For example, when we get married to see the birthday, these eight words are the "year column, moon column, sun column and time column" in the annals of the cadres and branches.

What is "Ten Niu Geng"? We know that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the twelve earthly branches and the zodiac: rat, ugly cow, silver tiger, hairy rabbit, dragon, snake, afternoon horse, sheep, monkey, pheasant, dog and pig. This "ten cows" is also a combination of "ten heavenly stems" and "twelve earthly branches". The ancients began to play it on the first day of the first month.

Cattle were the main farm animals in ancient times, and farmers regarded them as their lifeblood. There was no machinery at that time. The only tool for farmers to plow and pull goods is cattle. One cow is enough in a field, and now ten cows are needed to cultivate the land. This shows that the land is too dry and Niu Gengdi is struggling. Indirectly, 2023 is likely to be a drought year. At the same time, according to this statement, 2023 is still "controlling water by dragons" and "harmony". Because the number of dragons is small, at least the rain will be scarce, so the spring rain this spring is as expensive as oil. As for "seven people share the cake", it means that seven people share a cake. It seems that this year is not very good.

However, these are the prediction methods of the older generation and a good way to win the lottery. Don't care too much. Although the weather is dry now, it is unlikely that there will be a serious drought in 2023. what do you think?
