May 9 is the fifth nine days of the winter solstice. May 9th is generally165438+ days between October and February. 59 is a solar term in the middle of the number nine in China. See the willow by the river in 5969. After the winter solstice, "counting nine" begins, which means entering the coldest season of the year.
The so-called "number nine" means that from the date of the "winter solstice", nine days is a unit, which is called "nine". After nine "nines", it is exactly 8 1 day, which is called "nine". The cold winter turns into warm spring.
If the first day of May 9th is cloudy or snowy, it means there will be more rain in the future. Because the Ninth Five-Year Plan is the last nine years before beginning of spring, and it is the time when everything is about to break ground, that is, when plants are ready to sprout, and it is also the time when rain is needed. At this time, the rain will help the plants to shoot new buds smoothly, and the wood gas in spring will also rush out of the ground smoothly.
The origin of proverbs:
"99" is the product of farming society, with a long history, which has been passed down from mouth to mouth among the people. It is a summary of the experience of ancient people in production and life practice from generation to generation, and it makes use of some ecological reflections and weather signs in nature, so it is quite scientific.
Today, it still plays a guiding role in the arrangement of people's production and life, so it has been popular, widely circulated in people's mouths and reflected in people's behavior.
With the development of history and the integration of northern and southern customs and cultures, "Nine" has been widely spread and became popular in the northern region at the latest in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Zong Zong of the Liang Dynasty wrote in Jing Chu Sui Ji: "The winter solstice is 998 1 day, which is the end of cold."
There are several nine songs all over the country, but the lyrics are slightly different. People all over the country have compiled various proverbs, ballads and fluency according to different climatic conditions, scenery characteristics, agricultural phenology and customs. ?
