Folk proverbs of thunder in October

A folk proverb that thunders in October: When it thunders in October, thieves are everywhere.

The agricultural proverb "Thunder in October, thieves all over the world" is also a classic proverb, which was very popular in the past and mainly spread in the north and south of China. Literally, if there is a thunderstorm in October of the lunar calendar, it is not a good sign, and there will be more thieves in the coming year.

The reason is that the ancients thought that thunder in October indicates low temperature, and there will be more rain and snow in the future, especially in the second year, natural disasters such as floods and droughts often occur, so the result is bad timing. In the past, when people didn't have enough to eat, they would become traitors or do some stealing activities.

As we all know, in ancient times, technology was not as developed as it is today. The ancients believed in the concept of "harmony between man and nature" and believed that there was an inductive relationship between man and nature. If people are disrespectful and unfilial, and go against the sky, the sky will fall at any time. "Heaven" refers to nature. It can be said that the philosophy of "harmony between man and nature" defended by the ancients aims to require people to live in harmony with nature.
