Proverbs about the harvest of integrity

The twenty-four solar terms are the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient people in China. They reflect seasonal changes, guide agricultural activities, affect the food, clothing, housing and transportation of thousands of families, and include the joy of harvest:

Beginning of spring (3-5 February):

Beginning of spring is commonly known as "Da Chun". The day before was called "Spring Festival", and the folks took the beginning of spring as the beginning of farming. At this time, plants began to sprout and grow, and people began to prepare for farming. Historically, Zhou Wuwang has ordered local officials to hold "Spring Festival" ceremonies every year. The day before in beginning of spring, local officials dressed in plain clothes walked in the suburbs to welcome the Spring Festival. The next day, they called the villagers to burn incense and worship, kowtowing to worship, and let the "Mang God" whip the local cattle, aiming at beating the inertia of spring cattle, welcoming the bumper harvest all year round and announcing the beginning of spring ploughing and spring sowing. Later, spring cattle were tied into the shape of cattle with bamboo sticks, pasted with paper, and filled with peanuts, walnuts and dates. On that day in beginning of spring, they were whipped. After being smashed, people rushed to eat scattered fruits to celebrate the arrival of spring, some of which were full of grain, which meant a sign of bumper harvest. There is no activity of beating spring cattle now, but around the social flag, beginning of spring is still described as "beating spring". There are agricultural proverbs such as "beating six or nine heads in spring, planting sesame seeds to eat sesame oil, planting five Kyubi no Youko seeds in spring, and planting millet to eat rice" and "playing spring, the sun is shining, and the clothes are thick with laughter". The daily weather in beginning of spring is related to a year. It is generally believed that beginning of spring should be sunny instead of cloudy, with sunny days indicating abundance and cloudy days indicating disaster. There is a folk song, "beginning of spring is clear and warm, and farmers are bulging. If the wind is dark, the grain is not uncomfortable. " There is also "everything is auspicious on a sunny day, and everything is sad on a cloudy day." "The early spring is sunny, and farmers are farming." "beginning of spring has three sunny days, and this year's harvest is very good." "beginning of spring is cloudy, sunny in spring, sunny in beginning of spring, sunny in spring, cloudy to clear."

Thunder, full of water "and" shocking clouds, cold until mid-May "mean that spring is chilly. "If you are stung, don't let the bees go. Ten cages and nine cages are empty. "

Equinox (March 20-22):

In mid-spring, the climate is getting warmer, the days are getting longer, the nights are getting shorter, and the wheat is growing rapidly. There is a saying that "wheat is busy day and night after the vernal equinox" and "wheat gets up at the vernal equinox, and every moment is worth a thousand dollars". It is necessary to strengthen the management of wheat fields, fertilize and cultivate, and prohibit livestock from eating green. It rains at the vernal equinox, which shows that people are healthy.

As the saying goes, "Wheat in Four Seasons is not afraid of water, but it will rain overnight. "

Grain Rain (April 19 to April 2 1):

Every year around April 20, the sun starts when it reaches 30 degrees of the yellow meridian. Generally, the weather is getting warmer, the frost and snow are broken, and the rainfall is also increasing. It is an important season for sowing spring crops, planting sorghum, millet, spring corn, sweet potato and other early autumn crops. At this time, jujube buds germinated and spring-sown cotton began to be planted. As the saying goes, "Jujube sprouts to plant cotton", "Grain Rain seedlings (sweet potatoes), one tree and one basket", "Grain Rain seedlings grow summer sowing", "Grain Rain plants crops, but dare not wait", "Before Grain Rain, after Qingming, it is a good time to plant flowers" and "Grain Rain wheat is pregnant".

Miscanthus (5-7 June):

Every year around June 6th, the sun starts at 75 degrees. Agricultural activities in this county are mainly harvesting wheat, sowing in late autumn and managing big seedlings. The countryside is busy, so there is a saying that "spring is busy, sickle harvests", "Mang is busy, three or two plays" and "Spring competes for the sun and summer competes for the time". Summer harvest, summer sowing and Shimonoseki are collectively called "three summers". Three summer production highlights four "grab" words, that is, grab a bumper harvest. Harvesting wheat is like putting out a fire. Longkou takes away the grain, the wheat turns yellow, the ears of wheat turn yellow, and the embroiderer gets out of bed, 70% of the wheat is harvested, and 80% of it is lost. When the wheat is ripe, start cutting. Don't wait for the mature seeds to fall, you will lose ten yellow grains. To ensure a bumper harvest, you must not lose one ear. The second is to grab seeds and grab autumn crops when wheat is harvested. "It's hard to take care of your life after autumn, no matter how you plant wheat", "Sprinkle sesame seeds on wheat stubble, and it will soon be eliminated", "A sweet potato has a handful of ashes, and sweet potatoes form a pile"; The third is threshing, which is finished before the summer solstice.

Summer solstice (June 2 1-22):

Summer solstice is a very important solar term in farming, and it is a tense season for Akita management. As the temperature rises and the weather gets hot, hoes begin to be everywhere. "Spring strives for the sun, summer strives for the sun, and it's not too late to plow the fields and mow the grass", "Summer solstice is better than a poisonous snake bite", "Summer solstice plants sesame seeds with flowers on its head, and beginning of autumn plants sesame seeds, which will die if they don't bloom". In the summer solstice of the third year, it falls for 30 to 40 days, divided, middle and last. Every volt is 10 days, and there are 20 days in the middle volt. There are folk sayings that "heat is in the middle" and "three volts plus one autumn". It is generally believed that the change of summer solstice weather will have a great impact on crops. So farmers are taboo in the summer solstice. Thunderstorms are the most taboo in the summer solstice. As the saying goes, "The summer solstice thunders, June is dry, and the summer solstice is hot on rainy days."

As the saying goes, "Wheat costs 3,000 yuan at the end of the summer solstice in May", "You can eat oil without planting sesame seeds at the beginning of the summer solstice in May" and "Ten oil houses are empty at the end of the summer solstice in May". Eating oil instead of planting sesame seeds shows that other crops are growing well and have a good harvest. Ten oil houses and nine empty houses indicate the poor harvest and depression throughout the year.

Summer (July 6-8):

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and when the flood season comes, crops will grow vigorously, mainly to strengthen the management of autumn crops. Can cultivate kang land.

However, there are also proverbs, such as "Before and after beginning of autumn, swallows melons mung beans", "beginning of autumn plants scallions and dew plants garlic" and "In June autumn, the old seedlings are lost, and in July autumn, the old seedlings are harvested", which means that mung beans can still be planted (the harvest is not much), and beginning of autumn can plant onions. If seedlings are cultivated in June in early autumn, they can no longer be planted, while transplanted seedlings can still be harvested in July in early autumn. Beginning of autumn is a major solar term for local farmers, and it is also the season when crops are approaching maturity.
