What is the saying about sunny days?

Scared without the sun, the old farmer was flustered.

The sunny weather on the day of the solar term may indicate that the local weather will be mainly sunny for some time to come. In the continuous sunny weather, there is no rainfall, plus the original soil moisture in the field is not good, and there are no irrigation measures. It is conceivable that the crops in the field are not growing well, which will affect the normal greening and the subsequent heading and grouting, and the yield will not be guaranteed.

From the point of view of spring ploughing, continuous sunny days, no good sowing conditions and poor soil moisture in the field not only affect normal sowing, but even if sowing continues, the emergence rate is not high, which not only wastes the planting cost, but also fails to achieve the expected effect. Therefore, from this proverb alone, it is not good to start the solar terms on a sunny day.

The rain stung, and the spring ploughing never stopped.

This proverb probably means that if the solar terms rain, then spring ploughing should take action and can't rest any longer. From the point of view of crop planting, spring ploughing needs good moisture content, whether it is managing wheat or sowing spring corn and spring soybean, it needs sufficient moisture. If the field is dry, even if sowing continues, the emergence rate will not be very high.

In the past, irrigation measures were relatively weak. When crops are planted in drought, there is no irrigation or watering, and there is no condition and no increase in cost. Therefore, if it doesn't rain when the insects arrive, we can only postpone spring ploughing.

On the contrary, if it rains and the soil moisture in the field becomes better, it is a good season for spring ploughing, which is conducive to the sowing of crops, but also promotes the growth of crops and improves the yield. So just from this proverb, it's good to be surprised by the rain.
