Reading guide: Saturday Xiaoxiao, the old man said that this year's Xiaoxia is not ordinary, there are three characteristics, early understanding and early planning
July has arrived, and July 6 is the summer solar term, which is the Saturday of this week. Xiaoxiao is the eleventh of the 24 solar terms and the penultimate solar term of summer.
In ancient times, the Xiaoxia solar term was still the end of the noon moon of the Ganzhi calendar and the beginning of the new month, when the Xiaoxia solar term arrived, it meant that the hottest dog days were close at hand. The old saying also says that "when the small heat arrives, it is hot for three minutes a day", and there is also a saying among the folk that "the small heat is the big heat, steaming and cooking", which shows that it is very hot.
However, this year's Xiaoxia solar term is somewhat different, because it has three distinctive characteristics, which has also aroused widespread attention from many farmers.
The old people often say that the 24 solar terms are the product of ancient farming culture, and understanding the changes of the solar terms can predict the future weather and agricultural activities in advance. So what are the unique features of this year's Xiaoxiao solar term? Saturday is a little summer, so let's find out in advance.
First, this year's Xiaoxia solar term falls on the beginning of June.
Regarding Xiaoxiao, the ancients recorded: "Juneteenth Day...... Summer, heat also, in the heat is divided into size, the beginning of the month is small, the middle of the month is large, and now the heat is still small. ”
It is said that the small summer solar term is the solar term in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, in which the summer heat is the meaning of heat, and the heat can be divided into large and small, of which the beginning of the month is the small heat, and the middle of the month is the big heat, that is, the hottest time has arrived.
In addition, regarding the timing of the arrival of the Xiaoxia solar term, in the past, the Big Dipper was pointed to the Xin position, and the sun reached the ecliptic longitude of 105 degrees, which was handed over on July 6-8 of the Gregorian calendar every year, and this year's Xiaoxiao solar term came a little early, on July 6.
However, in ancient times, the lunar calendar was basically used to keep things awaited, and this year's Xiaoxia is very special, it is on the first day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar. That is, in the "head of June" of the lunar calendar, there is a proverb related to it in the folk: "The summer is at the beginning, and there is a big drought in July; The summer heat is at the end, and the water is heavy in July. ”
This means that if the summer heat occurs in early June, then the following July may face a severe drought; And if the heat occurs at the end of June, it may indicate a lot of precipitation in July.
There is also a similar proverb: "The little heat is on the head, and the old cow dies in the heat; The summer is at the end, and cotton is worn in June". It refers to the small summer solar term at the beginning of June of the lunar calendar, so it will be hotter later, and if the small summer is in late June of the lunar calendar, it indicates that it will not be very hot later.
This year's solar term falls in the first month of June, which means that we may need to prepare for the upcoming drought in July, and it also indicates that the dog days in July will be very hot, so we should be prepared in advance.
Second, this year's summer is not only the first day of the lunar month, but also the day of "plum blossoms".
There is another special feature of this year's Xiaoxia, that is, it falls on the first day of the first month of June. In traditional Chinese culture, the first day of the new year is often seen as a new beginning, representing hope and change, and is the most important day of the month.
In the past, the first day of the lunar month was also called the New Year's Day. And the summer New Year's Day is a rare occurrence in many years, which is very rare.
In addition, there is a very special place, that is, this year's Xiaoxia solar term is still the day of "plum". The ancients put "the mango seed into the plum every day", and "the summer summer at the end of the plum".
This year's Xiaoxia solar term is on July 6, and the Ganzhi calendar on that day is the "end of Xin". Therefore, the plum season will come out on the day of the summer solar term, which means the end of the yellow plum rainy season and we will usher in a hotter summer.
However, there is also a proverb among the people: "A thunder in the summer heat, 24 poured yellow plums." This sentence tells us that if there is thunder during the summer season, then there may be another phenomenon of inverted yellow plums, that is, after the end of the rainy season, there will be rainy weather.
According to the experience of the ancients in the past, it generally rained during the small summer solar term, and the ancients also believed that it was good to rain during the small summer solar term.
Therefore, if it rains on the day of the summer solar term, there may be "inverted yellow plums", which is not good for agriculture, especially if there is continuous rainy weather, then it is easy to lead to flooding. This reminds us that even if the plum season is out, we should not take it lightly, and we must always pay attention to the weather changes and be prepared to deal with them.
Third, this year's Xiaoxia solar term is still very hot.
It is estimated that many people have already discovered that this year's summer is hot early, and many places have refreshed the hottest records of previous years early, which is about ten days earlier than the hottest time period of previous years.
Before many people have had time to adjust to the summer heat, many places are already as hot as dog days. This unusually high temperature phenomenon also makes people worry and uneasy.
And there are some proverbs handed down by ancestors in the folk, the more classic is "the small summer is hot, and the big summer is cool." The meaning of this proverb is that if it is too hot in the summer season, it may be cooler in the summer season.
At the same time, there is also a saying that "the summer is too hot, and the autumn is cold early", that is, it is very hot in the small summer solar term, and even hotter than the same period in previous years, so the autumn of that year will be cold early, that is, the hot days will end early.
However, for this statement, although it is the experience of the ancients, the editor believes that this year's weather is very special, especially in recent years, the climate is also a bit abnormal, the summer is hotter and hotter year by year, so even if it is very hot after the summer, but the autumn will not come too early, on the contrary, the hot days will last longer, if you don't believe it, everyone will wait and see.
The above are the three major characteristics of this year's small summer solar term, and it can indeed be seen from the above that this year's small summer solar term is somewhat extraordinary.
Not only does it appear in the first half of June, which is a sign of possible dry weather; It also coincides with the first day of June and the day of "rising plum", reminding us to pay attention to weather changes;
At the same time, the abnormal high temperature phenomenon, coupled with the frequent occurrence of extreme weather in recent years, especially the super high temperature weather in many countries in Southeast Asia after the beginning of summer this year, also makes us more vigilant and worried.
However, as the ancients said, "There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck." "In the face of changes and challenges in the natural world, we need to remain calm and rational, and actively respond to various possible situations. Everyone should pay attention to the weather changes in time and plan early. #长文创作激励计划 ##头条创作挑战赛#
