What can I do for the Double Ninth Festival?

There is a saying about the weather on the Double Ninth Festival. For example, if you are not afraid of the Double Ninth Festival, you are afraid of getting wet.

Literally, this sentence tells us not to be afraid of getting wet by heavy rain on the ninth day of September, but to worry about sunny days. We can understand this statement from the perspective of agriculture. In some areas, the Double Ninth Festival coincides with the golden age of winter wheat sowing.

If it rains this day, it is very beneficial to the sowing and growth of winter wheat. Because winter wheat needs enough rain to support its growth, this autumn rain will provide valuable water for its growth.

The weather condition of the Double Ninth Festival is also closely related to the future meteorological trend, which is also very important for agricultural production. The ancients left a proverb: "There is autumn rain in Chongyang, and winter snow everywhere at the beginning of the new year." This proverb tells us that if it rains in autumn, it will snow in early winter. Perhaps some people don't understand the importance of snow to agricultural production, but the proverbs left by the ancients vividly explain this phenomenon.
