2025 is a special year, its predecessor is a year after Jiachen, and most of 2024 has passed, so many people are looking forward to the arrival of 2025. In ancient times, people would summarize according to the laws of history, how will the year be in 2025? Will life get better?
Next year, 2025, is the Year of the Snake, which is one of the first Jiazi in the lunar calendar, such as 1905, 1965, 2025... (60-year cycle).
According to the theory of mutual growth and restraint of the five elements, the five elements refer to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Among them, "wood" and "fire" go hand in hand. The heavenly stem of the year of Yi Si is yin wood, and the earth branch is yang fire. Therefore, the five elements attribute in 2025 is yin, wood, yang, and fire. Si is a snake, so being born in 2025 is the life of a wood snake, wood represents spring, and the color of spring is cyan, so 2025 is also the year of the green snake.
How did the Year of the Snake come about?
In the Ganzhi calendar, there is a saying of sixty jiazi, that is to say, a cycle of 60 years, the combination of the heavenly stem and the earthly branch, and 2025 is just the turn of the second year.
According to the 12 earthly branches corresponding to the 12 zodiac signs, they are: Zi (Rat), Chou (Ox), Yin (Tiger), Mao (Rabbit), Chen (Dragon), Si (Snake), Wu (Horse), Wei (Sheep), Shen (Monkey), You (Rooster), 戌 (Dog), Hai (Pig). The earthly branch happens to be the snake, so people call 2025 the Year of the Snake.
2025 is the Year of the Snake, what does the saying "green snake meet four, don't worry about the harvest"? Know early. According to the laws of history, the ancients made a prediction in advance of the year of the snake in combination with the events that happened in the year of the snake. Among them, the appearance of "Mao" in the first month will be directly related to the subsequent year.
How to understand the "Mao" in the 12 earthly branches?
Mao is Mao, and all things are Mao. That is, all things can grow, grow, or grow very luxuriantly, which is what we now call Mao.
It is mentioned in the "Commentary on the Words of Shuowen" [Volume 14] [卯部] that Mao, Mao also. In February, everything came out of the ground. In its meaning, it represents the month of February, when all things can emerge from the earth.
The Book of Laws says: "Mao Zhi is Mao Ye, and all things are Mao." "The Chronicles of the Law": "Risky and presumptuous." "Tianwen Xun" said: "Mao is mao. "Interpretation of the Name" said: "Mao, Mao, carry the soil and come out." "Gaiyang Qi is the beginning.
Xu said: In February, yin can't be controlled, and yang emerges. The gate of heaven, all things are finished. To put it simply, in February, the yin energy cannot suppress the yang energy, so the yang energy can be raised, then this situation is Mao, and because all things are born to the yang, negative yin and grow, and the impulse is harmonious.
Seeing this, it is not difficult to understand why the harvest of a year is related to "Mao", only when the crops come out of the soil at a specific time, can we better welcome the arrival of the harvest.
What does the saying "green snake meet four, don't worry about the harvest"?
Green snake, it is said that in 2025, it is the year of Yisi, meet, which can be understood as meeting, four here refers to time, Mao is the earthly branch, representing luxuriant, growth, harvest, which means that the year is better.
The original meaning of this sentence is that in 2025, if it is the fourth day of the first month, then there is no need to worry about a bumper harvest, which means that it is very likely to usher in a bumper harvest this year.
Let's go back and take a look at the specific time in 2025, on the sixth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, it will usher in the day of the first month of the first lunar month, that is, the day of the first month, not on the fourth day of the first month but on the sixth day of the first month.
According to a record in the "Pillow Notes": On the third and fourth days of the first month, the day is ripe and all are harvested; On the fifth or sixth day of the first month, Tian He should be late, there is a flood in summer, and there is a drought in autumn for 20 days. To put it simply, it is better to sow seeds later to prevent waterlogging, and in autumn, we should pay attention to drought and irrigate in time.
Generally speaking, the impact is not very large, although it is a little close to a bumper harvest, but as long as we pay attention to the arrangement of sowing time, and make preparations for drought and flood prevention, we can also have a good harvest, after all, this kind of weather, almost, has appeared in many years.
