What does 99 mean on March 3rd?

On March 4th, September 9th means the last day in cold weather.

Compared with other stages, the temperature in these nine days is the highest, which means the coming of spring. Spring is the day when everything recovers, and it is also the critical period for crop growth. There are many folk sayings about "99", such as "99' s rain is soaked and farmers turn white". As we all know, farming pays attention to sowing in spring and autumn, so when spring comes, farmers will rush to plow cattle or weed in the fields.

The Ninth Five-Year Plan coincides with this busy farming season. If the weather is fine, everyone will be happy even if they are tired and sweaty in the field. But if it rains, it will embarrass farmers. Although the spring rain is as expensive as oil, it is still very distressing if it falls at the wrong time. Spring rain can revive everything and make plants grow rapidly.

Therefore, on the day of 1999, when farmers saw the rainy weather, they could only worry but had no choice. Food is everyone's only way out. Without food, it is no wonder that farmers are worried.

The origin of "No.9":

The "number nine" began the day after the "winter solstice" in late February and early February of 65438. When the custom of "counting nine" originated, there is no exact information. However, it was popular at least in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Count nine cold days, that is, from the solstice of winter, count a "nine" every nine days until the "99" of 81 days, and the weather will warm up.
