Folklore, the legend of the twenty-four solar terms and the great cold

0 1 There are many folklore about the 24 solar terms, and one legend tells such a story:

Once upon a time, there was a prodigal son whose family was quite rich. But the prodigal son didn't know the seasonal solar terms and didn't farm well. All he did was eat, drink and be merry, which exhausted his father's ancestral business. Later, he had to borrow money from his relatives.

After a long time, relatives ignored him. He had to borrow clothes from his uncle and pawn almost all his few clothes, leaving only a cotton-padded jacket with some value.

On the first day of the first month, the prodigal son called to visit his uncle to pay a New Year call, in fact, in order to borrow this cotton-padded jacket. When I saw my uncle wearing a cotton-padded jacket, it was so cold that I didn't have the courage to let him take it off.

Finally, in February, the prodigal son thought: My uncle may not wear a cotton-padded jacket these days, so he came to my uncle's house. As soon as my uncle heard that he wanted to borrow a cotton-padded jacket, he said that on February 28th, chickens and ducks froze to death. ? Hearing this, the prodigal son had no choice but to leave.

In March, the weather is getting warmer and warmer. The prodigal son thought: My uncle may not wear a cotton-padded jacket these days, so he came to my uncle's house. As soon as my uncle heard that he wanted to borrow a cotton-padded jacket, he said that on March 3, the bachelor froze to death. ?

The prodigal son knew that his uncle was a bachelor, but when he heard this, he had no choice but to leave.

In April, the weather is warmer. The prodigal son thought: My uncle may not wear cotton-padded jacket these days, so he came to my uncle's house again. When my uncle heard that he still wanted to borrow his cotton-padded jacket, he said that on April 20, the branches were frozen. ? Hearing this, the prodigal son knew that there was no way to borrow a cotton-padded jacket and had to go.

In May, people all wore light clothes, and the prodigal son thought, What can my uncle say if I borrow a cotton-padded jacket now? Who knows what my uncle said? You can't send cold clothes after eating May Zongzi. ?

In June, it was so hot that people were shirtless. The prodigal son thought, I'll borrow a cotton-padded jacket in the dog days of June, and see what you say! Who knows what my uncle said? People are not caterpillars, but are afraid of the cold north wind in June. ?

In July, the weather was still very hot, and the prodigal son borrowed a cotton-padded jacket from his uncle. My uncle said:? After dinner in July and a half, I hurried my son to Dipo Station. ? The meaning is clear:

It's getting cold, so I can't borrow a cotton-padded jacket. In August, the prodigal son never gave up and went to see his uncle again. My uncle said, "On August 15th, the wild geese opened and came, with frost on their heads. ? It's starting to frost. Who wants to lend out the cotton-padded jacket?

In September, the prodigal son still refused to give up and went to his uncle's house again. Before I could speak, my uncle said, today is the Double Ninth Festival, so insects and ants should be prepared for the winter? Stop thinking about my cotton-padded jacket, J O, I once helped you, but I actually hurt you. You can't borrow anything to pawn it in the future. I won't lend it to you if I have it. You'd better farm well to support yourself! ?

Later, the prodigal son turned around, worked hard and finally accumulated his family business.
