The old farmer often said, "There are six fears in ambush". What are the six fears?

In rural areas, farmers are restless twice a year, which makes them afraid of the east and the west. Which two time periods? One is dog days and hot summer, and the other is a cold day. There are six fears in dog days. Let's see which ones are.

The first fear of farmers in dog days: fear of bitter summer.

In the hot weather every year, many people are restless and can't sleep well. So in the dog days, the whole person seems to have a serious illness, and people become listless, weak, dark and skinny. This kind of body is prone to other diseases. Farmers are afraid that other diseases will take advantage of it in the bitter summer, so they are afraid of it.

The second fear of farmers in dog days: fear of collapse.

In dog days, in hot weather, many people will sweat, even sweat. This season is not suitable for work, but some work cannot be done. So people who sweat at work are most afraid of collapse. It can be dangerous to collapse in dog days. If it happens suddenly, won't it be over? !

The third fear of farmers in dog days: fear of humidity.

When it rains the most in the dog days, I am most afraid of the rain for many days. It rains every day, it is cloudy every day, and bedding will regain its moisture. People are particularly uncomfortable sleeping on such bedding. Rest is definitely not good, let alone bedding. Sometimes even clothes are wet, and wet hair can grow in the corner of the house, and the body naturally becomes heavy and uncomfortable. Therefore, farmers are afraid of the resurgence of moisture in their homes in the dog days.

The fourth fear of farmers in dog days: fear of catching cold.

We have a word about physical illness here: freezing in June. June is the hottest time in the dog days. If you accidentally catch a cold in June, people's health will be more damaged than usual, and it will take a long time to recover. If you catch a cold in hot weather, your body will sweat. How are various manifestations of weakness conducive to the recovery of the disease? So farmers are most afraid of catching a cold in dog days and freezing to death in June.

The fifth fear of farmers in dog days: fear of getting sick.

This fifth fear refers to people with old diseases, especially the elderly, such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cold legs, asthma and so on. The dog days are as extreme as the cold weather on March 9th, and it is the most unbearable stage for the human body. In these two seasons, the human body is in a weak position and it is difficult to recover from illness. Therefore, the old people in rural areas are most afraid of being tired and dying.

The sixth fear of farmers in dog days: fear of drought.

In dog days, there is a big flood or drought every year, and the flood is rainy. As long as there is no catastrophic flood, rain is better than drought. It's too dry, the temperature will not decompose, and it will be hotter than in previous years. Needless to say, many fruit trees planted for many years will die, and people's drinking water problem will also be threatened. This is what farmers fear most. It doesn't rain in the dog days, and they are afraid of all kinds of losses caused by drought.

In the hottest dog days, yesterday, the unit issued heatstroke prevention tea and the family bought mung beans. The heatstroke prevention supplies are ready. In the northern countryside, we must take this particularly dry dog days seriously, but we have planted crops to fight drought.
