After the autumn harvest, farmers in rural areas are not so busy. With less work, people become more relaxed. It's noon now, and many people are smoking. White smoke mixed with food aroma gradually overflowed and spread, and was blown to the bamboo forest side of the house with the wind.

Next to the bamboo forest is a stream and a slightly narrow dirt road. An old man and a young man are walking on a muddy road. The little boy looked at five or six years old with a red face and some sweat in his temples. Although the sun is quite big, he doesn't feel tired. His eyes looked around curiously and his mouth was curved.

Wearing a straw hat, the old man followed the little boy, smoking a cigarette and watching his grandson's footsteps. Obviously, this is the old man who has just taken his little grandson out for a walk and is going home for lunch. Suddenly, the little boy turned around and pointed to the bamboo forest by the stream and said, Grandpa, why doesn't it bloom? There were flowers on those green leaves just now. ?

The old man's eyes widened slightly and he paused unconsciously while smoking. It was a long time before he met his grandson's eyes and replied with a smile. This can't blossom. If it does, we have to move? . ? Moving? What is moving? ? The little boy asked incredulously. ? Move. You'll know when you grow up. Let's go home for dinner. ? After that, the old man picked up his grandson and walked home.

But his eyes unconsciously looked into the distance, remembering the drought after the bamboo bloomed a long time ago. He was only a few years old when the disaster happened. What impressed him most was that he was hungry for a long time. ? When you grow up, when can you grow up? How about tomorrow? ? Sun Tzu's naive words brought his thoughts back. He smiled and answered:? Not so fast. At least ten years. ? Father and grandson went home happily.

There is indeed a saying among the people. Bamboo blossoms, move immediately? .

This means that if bamboo blooms in pieces, something bad may happen. You should leave here at once. That sounds funny. Why do bad things happen when bamboo blooms? Bamboo is not specially used to report worries. It is superstition to move when flowers bloom. But in fact, this statement also has some truth.

Perhaps most people don't know that bamboo is going to bloom. In fact, this is normal, because bamboo does not bloom every year. Generally speaking, it takes decades for bamboo to bloom, and some even take hundreds of years. It's normal not to know that it will bloom.

Moreover, this kind of bamboo flower is far from beautiful, just like an ear of rice, without stretched petals and noble gesture. It feels like a lovely girlish hairpin on a gentleman's head, which is a bit awkward.

On the other hand, why do bamboo bloom? What does it have to do with this disaster?

Scientists have different views on bamboo flowering. There is a saying that bamboo blooms because the external growth conditions have changed.

Bamboo likes to take root and grow in a warm and humid environment. If the external hydrothermal conditions change, even if these changes are small for human beings, they will be affected and bear fruit. Reproduce the next generation through flowering and fruiting, and avoid extinction due to hydrothermal changes.

There is also a saying that bamboo blooms because it is old and its ability to absorb nutrients has decreased. On the other hand, because of old age, the absorption of many nutrients is reduced, and this few nutrients are used to supply flowers. If the growth of bamboo itself is not satisfied, it will slowly wither and then die.

The first statement shows that external conditions are changing slowly, which indicates that natural disasters, such as drought, may occur to some extent. From this point of view, bamboo blossoms and moves immediately? It makes sense.

In addition, some flowers on bamboo will bear fruit. These fruits are very attractive to rodents. When a piece of bamboo blooms, it will bear many fruits. These fruits often attract mice. Rats are the natural enemies of farmers. Rats that eat the fruit will not leave so soon, but will start with the food stored by farmers. As a result, farmers have a hard time.

Therefore, in general, whether it is the inducement of flowering or the result of flowering, it may be a sign of impending disaster. Of course, the degree of this possibility remains to be evaluated. However, this also confirms? Bamboo blossoms, move immediately? There is some truth in this proverb.

In fact, in my opinion, what does it matter? Spring river plumbing duck prophet? A little similar, it is a kind of sensitivity of animals and plants to environmental changes. The bamboo has blossomed. Although this flower is not beautiful, it may be a sign that it is about to die. With the last strength of life, a large number of eye-catching flowers have been opened, which not only left behind future generations for themselves, but also reminded mankind to some extent.
