What do you mean by talking in July and geese coming in August and September?

Every winter solstice, the weather turns warm on July 9, and the river ice above 0℃ begins to melt. On August 9, the weather turns warm, and geese fly back from the south, which means that spring is coming.

"99 Songs" is a summary of the experience of the broad masses of our people from generation to generation on the basis of production and life practice, using some ecological reflections and meteorological signs in nature. It is quite scientific and still plays a guiding role in the arrangement of people's production and life, so it has been popular, widely circulated in people's mouths and reflected in people's behavior.

Extended data:

Every nine days, the weather changes in cold and warm. People record and summarize their images according to their long-term experience, compile songs and proverbs and spread them in China, which are called "Jiujiu Songs". Because our country spans the north temperate zone and subtropical zone, the climate change is different in different places, so the content of Jiujiu Song is different in different places.

For example, the "99 Songs" in the north said: "1929 does not shoot; Walking on the ice in 3949; 5969, look at the willows by the river; Seven or nine rivers open, and eight or nine geese come; 998 1, eat at home. "
