Why can’t it rain on the first day of the new year?

"Don't be afraid of cloudiness on the first day of the lunar month, just be afraid of the rain on the second lunar month." It means: If it is cloudy on the first day of the lunar month, it will have basically no impact on future weather, so it does not matter if it is cloudy on the first day of the lunar month. Yes, if it rains on the second day of the Lunar New Year, it may rain continuously during the Spring Festival.

This sentence is also explained in rural areas. If it rains on the second day of the Lunar New Year, then there may be continuous drought during spring plowing. Many farmers are afraid of drought. After all, rural areas in many areas are backward and rely on the weather for their livelihood. Farmers all say, "Spring rain is as precious as oil." If it doesn't rain today, farmers won't be able to plant and plants won't be able to grow, which will affect spring sowing work.
