The role of agricultural proverbs

1, agricultural proverbs are the crystallization of experience accumulated by working people in long-term production practice, which will inevitably play a guiding role in agricultural production. Especially in feudal society, working people were deprived of the right to read and write, and their experience was mainly passed down by word of mouth, and agricultural proverbs were one of them.

2. For example, in feudal society, before there were thermometers and hygrometers, farmers used the growth of perennial trees as the basis for forecasting agricultural time, because the growth of perennial trees reflected certain objective climatic conditions to a certain extent, so the agricultural proverb "If you want to know five grains, look at five trees first" came into being.

3. There are many proverbs reflecting phenology to guide the sowing date, such as "the pear blossoms are white, and soybeans are planted"; "Cinnamomum camphora leaves are pink and white bean seeds are good"; And "frogs croak and millet falls" and so on. More is to point out the suitable sowing date of various crops according to the 24 solar terms: for example, "the white dew is early, the cold dew is late, and the autumn equinox grass is just right"; "The autumn equinox is early, the first frost is late, and the cold dew is planting wheat at that time"; "People miss a moment, miss a season"; "The Millennium is white, just planting buckwheat" and so on.

With these agricultural proverbs, farmers can master timely sowing. In addition, such as "beginning of winter broad bean light snow wheat, you can't catch it all your life"; Proverbs such as "planting oil in October is not enough to make a wife's hair" are a summary of the lessons of failure, reminding people to seize the season and not to miss the farming season.
