The popular saying is that "the pigs are wet in March, and the buds rot in March", "the cows are wet in sleep, and it will be cold on March 3 next year", and "the south wind will send the cold, and the dogs will not go out in the first month". The cold should be cold but not warm. There are many proverbs that the cold and warm weather is unfavorable to agricultural production. Proverbs say that the weather is warm and humid in the great cold solar terms, which means that the cold and rainy weather in February-April in the solar calendar is serious and has a negative impact on crop growth in spring.

"When it is cold, it is afraid of the south wind, and when it rains, it is afraid of the south wind." The weather on the day of "Great Cold" was once an important indicator of agriculture. As long as the north wind blows and the weather gets cold, it means there will be a bumper harvest next year. On the contrary, if the south wind blows and the weather is warm, it means that the crops will fail next year. If it rains, the weather in the coming year may be abnormal, affecting the growth of crops.
