Dog days are the hottest time of the year, which not only tests people's ability to withstand heat, but also has a great impact on agricultural production and daily life. Dog days are usually accompanied by fatigue and loss of appetite, and people experience unprecedented heat and humidity during this period, as if they are in a huge sauna.
With the advent of dog days, the so-called "sauna mode" has been entered in various places, and this climatic conditions are a challenge for people's health and life.
Dog days are characterized by a wide range of droughts, with the north tending to be dry and the south being hit by floods. This extreme climate change not only affects the growth of crops, but also brings a lot of inconvenience to people's lives. In the north, drought can cause the soil to dry out and crops to lack water, while in the south, excessive rainfall can lead to flooding and flooding of farmland.
In rural China, agricultural proverbs are the crystallization of the wisdom of farmers based on long-term production practice and life experience. They are often able to predict weather changes and guide agricultural activities. On dog days, there are several agricultural proverbs that are widely circulated, and they are:
"Drenched the king, three dogs wear a jacket"
This agricultural proverb profoundly reflects people's sensitivity to the dog day climate and careful observation of weather changes. "Fuwang" refers to the first day of the dog days, and if it rains on this day, it is often considered a sign of a cooler climate throughout the dog days. In ancient times, people did not have modern weather forecasting technology, and they relied on observing natural phenomena to predict the weather.
If the start of dog days is accompanied by rain, one will perceive it as a sign of a cooler climate, and may even need to wear thicker clothing to protect against the low temperatures. This phenomenon is particularly important in agrarian societies because it is directly related to the growth and harvest of crops.
"The dog days are not hot, and the grains are not knotted"
This agricultural proverb reveals the importance of dog days for crop growth. In traditional Chinese agriculture, dog days are a critical period for crop growth, especially for crops that require sufficient heat such as rice and corn.
If dog days aren't hot enough, it can mean that the crop doesn't get enough heat to complete the growth cycle, affecting the final yield and quality. This proverb reminds farmers that the dog day climate is crucial for crops to mature, and climate change needs to be closely monitored to ensure that crops can grow smoothly.
"I'm not afraid of being in ambush, I'm afraid of being in ambush"
This agricultural proverb emphasizes the importance of the right amount of rain for the growth of crops. On dog days, a moderate amount of rain not only alleviates drought, but also provides the crops with the necessary moisture to promote their growth.
Excessive rainfall can lead to flooding and crop diseases, so the "drenching" in "not afraid of ambush drenching" refers to the right amount of rain. In contrast, persistent sunny days can cause drought, affecting the normal growth of crops. This proverb reflects the farmer's deep understanding of weather changes and accurate grasp of crop growing conditions.
"If you don't suffer from drought, you will increase one burden per acre"
This agricultural proverb is directly related to the weather conditions of the dog days and the yield of crops. "One acre for one quintal" vividly illustrates that if there is no drought on dog days, crop yields will increase.
In an agrarian society, every load of grain represents the fruits of farmers' hard work and is also an important guarantee for the livelihood of families. This proverb not only conveys the expectation of a good harvest, but also reflects the sensitivity of farmers to weather changes and the importance they attach to agricultural yields.
Through the expansion and interpretation of these agricultural proverbs, we can not only understand more deeply the observation and dependence on climate in Chinese agricultural culture, but also feel the farmers' awe of natural phenomena and deep concern for the growth of crops. These agricultural proverbs are the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient farmers, and they still have important enlightenment and guiding significance for us today.
These agricultural proverbs reflect not only people's observations and understanding of the dog days' climate, but also their expectations and concerns about agricultural production.
According to the predictions of some meteorologists, the dog days of 2024 may be different. Since 2024 is a "mother volt", this means that this year's dog days are likely to be relatively cool. This prediction is in line with the proverb that this year's dog days may not be unusually hot, which is undoubtedly good news for agricultural production and people's lives.
The dog days schedule for 2024 is as follows:
- The ambush on July 15 marks the beginning of the dog days.
- The sunrise on August 23 signifies the end of the dog days, for a total of 40 days.
- Toufu runs from July 15 to July 24 and lasts for 10 days.
- It lasts for 20 days from July 25 to August 13.
- The last period lasts from August 14 to August 23 and lasts for 10 days.
According to the characteristics of this year's dog days, dog days belong to the "mother volts", indicating that this year's dog days will not be too hot, and the climate is relatively mild. However, this year's dog days are 10 days longer than in previous years, which means that you need to go through 40 days of super long dog days, so please be prepared.
Dog days, the hottest time of summer in China, not only have a profound impact on people's daily lives, but also bring many challenges to agricultural production and the ecological environment. Through the analysis of the climatic characteristics of dog days, we understand the climatic differences between different regions during this period, and the important role of agricultural proverbs in predicting the weather and guiding agricultural activities.
The dog days of 2024, according to the forecasts of meteorologists and the dictates of agricultural proverbs, give us reason to expect a relatively cool summer. This is extremely beneficial for alleviating the discomfort caused by high temperatures and promoting the growth of crops. The accuracy of agricultural proverbs is not absolute, and the development of modern meteorology provides us with more scientific and accurate prediction methods.
