Weather forecast of Baishui from May to July

May is the key time for summer harvest and autumn planting, and it is also the busiest day for farmers. The weather in May is also directly related to the annual harvest. If the weather is fine when harvesting grain, full wheat will naturally be harvested.

But if it rains every day during this period, the wheat will rot in the ground and starve next year.

In fact, our ancestors have long talked about the weather in agricultural proverbs. Agricultural proverbs have not been abolished since ancient times, so there is still some accuracy.

So, how to judge the weather in May? What does the classic agricultural proverb "It rains on the first day of May, and boating on the Dragon Boat Festival until the end of the month" mean? Let's look at the specific statement.

It rains on the first day of May, and boating on the Dragon Boat Festival will last until the end of the month.

Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in China. As we all know, it is necessary to row a dragon boat.

The old man said that the folk proverb "It rains on the first day of May, and boating on the Dragon Boat Festival until the end of the month" means that if it rains heavily at the beginning of May, it will often rain in the following May. Because of the heavy rainfall, not only the Dragon Boat Festival, but also the weekdays.

It can be seen that the working people have summed up thousands of years of experience into a law, and it is also an amazing wisdom to be able to spy out the whole weather in May through the weather here on the first day of May.

I am not afraid of ghosts on July 15th, and I am afraid of water on May 1st.

July 15 is a traditional Ghost Festival in China. It is said that this day is a day when ghosts can roam freely once a year, so the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is specially designated as Ghost Festival.

Speaking of ghosts, everyone has never seen them, but many people are genuinely afraid.

However, there is a folk saying that people are not afraid of ghosts on July 15 and water on the first day of May. The old man explained that this sentence means that they are not afraid of ghosts on July 15, but they are afraid of rain on May 1 5.

Why should we be afraid when it rains on the first day of May?

It turned out that the old man thought that the weather on the first day of May represented the weather in May, and it rained at the beginning of May, which proved that May this year was a rainy season and the rain hit the wheat fields. Because the wheat has not been harvested, it can only be moldy in the wheat field.

You should know that ancient agricultural technology was underdeveloped and science and technology were not advanced. The whole family relies on a little wheat in the field to fill their stomachs all year round. If it happens to rain when harvesting wheat, the harvest in one year will be bleak and natural, and you will be hungry next year, so you are afraid of the water on the first day of May.

The first sunny day, bumper harvest, the first rain, tears.

Regarding the weather on the first day of May, there is a widespread saying among the people that "the first day is sunny, the harvest is good, the first day is rainy, and the face is full of tears". The old man's interpretation of this sentence is: If the first day of May is sunny, then this year will definitely be a bumper harvest, but if it rains at the beginning of May, the wheat in the wheat field will be soaked by rain and easily become moldy. I worked hard to sow the grain for a year, and finally arrived at the farmer Shui Piao.

The first day of May approaches the day of wheat harvest. If it rains on the first day of May, the wheat in the field will be wet and prone to mildew, and it will rain easily in the next few days.

This has caused farmers to be busy for a year, but the quantity and quality of wheat harvested are not ideal.

On the contrary, if it is sunny, farmers can harvest the mature wheat in the field as scheduled, and they can also use the big sun to dry their grain. Such a bumper harvest year is naturally beaming.

At the beginning of May, the boat waited and bent to the bottom.

In ancient times, transportation was underdeveloped, and large ships became an important tool for people to travel. Old people interpret the folk proverb "The first day of May is a first-class move, and the ship bends to the bottom" as: If it rains on the first day of May, it will often rain afterwards, and the water level of rivers and lakes will rise, so people often take a boat when they travel, so they say "the ship bends to the bottom".

I'm afraid I often go by boat in May.

I have to say that the working people are still very wise. The means of transportation in ancient times were not developed, so we couldn't spy on the weather in advance, but working people could judge the weather in May by summarizing the weather on the first day of May, so as to better arrange their travel plans for this month.

In short, in the eyes of the elderly, the rain on the first day of May is quite special, which has a strong predictive effect on the weather in May. If it is sunny, it will be sunny all month, which is not only convenient for people to cut wheat and dry grain, but also convenient for people to travel without taking a boat often.

However, if it rains from May 1 day to May 1 day, I'm afraid the food that has been planted hard for a year will rot in the ground, and I have to go out by boat often on weekdays, because the water level of the lake has risen again.

Do you think these proverbs of the elderly are accurate?
