Before the vernal equinox, it must be a disaster year. Is this Mid-Autumn Festival a disaster year?

Time flies, I feel that summer has just passed and the weather has turned cold.

In autumn, everyone is very much looking forward to the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival, which is only over a week away from the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival in our country, and the state also stipulates a three-day holiday. Whenever the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, no matter how far away, relatives will go home all the way to enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes with their families.

However, many people may not know that there is another saying in Mid-Autumn Festival called "Moon Festival", and this festival is also very particular. Not everyone can sacrifice the moon.

For the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a saying that "the autumnal equinox before the month must be a disaster year". What does this mean? Get to know each other together.

Men don't Yue Bai, women don't worship the stove.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Moon Festival, and not everyone can visit Yue Bai.

There is a saying that "men don't go to Yue Bai and women don't worship the kitchen", which means that women are the main people in Yue Bai, not men.

Because in the traditional view, women belong to yin, corresponding to the moon, and men belong to yang, corresponding to the sun.

The purpose of woman Yue Bai is to make her appearance beautiful. The so-called "closing the moon and feeling ashamed of flowers" actually means that the beauty of a woman can make the moon shy.

About the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is an agricultural proverb that says, "The autumnal equinox before the month will be a disaster year". What does this sentence mean? Is the lunar calendar before the autumnal equinox this year?

Before the autumnal equinox, it must be a disaster year.

At first, the Mid-Autumn Festival was set at the "autumnal equinox" in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar.

The "autumnal equinox" is called the autumnal equinox because this time just divides the three months of autumn equally, and it is also the time of day and night equally.

Later, in order to distinguish it from the festival of the moon and the autumnal equinox, people changed the Mid-Autumn Festival from the autumnal equinox to the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month.

August 15 is chosen because August in the lunar calendar is a month in the middle of autumn, and 15 also means equal share.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival and the autumnal equinox are separated, there will be a time difference between who is in front and who is behind, and the saying that "before the autumnal equinox, it must be a disaster year" comes from this.

Is 2022 "before the full moon and autumnal equinox"?

In 2022, the Mid-Autumn Festival falls on September 10 of the Gregorian calendar, and the autumnal equinox falls on September 23rd of the Gregorian calendar. The specific time is 9: 3: 3 1 sec.

From the time point of view, it is obviously "before the moon and the autumnal equinox"!

According to the agricultural proverb of our ancestors, "Before the vernal equinox, it must be a disaster year", and this year is a "disaster year", but is this statement reliable? Or in modern society, is this primitive agricultural proverb still reliable?

Is it reliable to say that before the vernal equinox, it must be a disaster year?

The common saying about agriculture is handed down from the older generation. In ancient times, there was no advanced technology to predict the weather, but it was passed on from mouth to mouth through the experience of people who had experienced it, so as to predict the weather in advance, avoid disasters and reduce production.

After all, ancient times were very backward, and it was particularly important for farmers to depend on the sky for food.

But in modern society, is this statement still reliable?

First of all, we need to know the relationship between the moon and the autumnal equinox.

The moon and night refer to the Mid-Autumn Festival. If the Mid-Autumn Festival comes before the autumnal equinox solar terms, it means that the solar terms come before the climate. In this case, the cold air will come earlier, and we will feel that it is very cold when we first enter autumn.

At this time, the sunlight is reduced, the temperature can not reach, the crops can not mature on time, and the seeds are not full. In this case, crops will definitely reduce production.

Especially in the northern region, if the temperature drops suddenly, it is easy to catch up with the rain and snow, which is very unfavorable to the autumn harvest. The temperature is unstable and prone to mildew.

Therefore, the ancients concluded that "before the equinox of the sun, the moon and the autumn" was often a "disaster year".

Of course, the "disaster year" mentioned here is actually exaggerated, and agricultural proverbs also have certain geographical restrictions, which are not so accurate if viewed from the whole country.

Moreover, with the development of science and technology, many situations can be prevented in advance, so whether agricultural proverbs are accurate or not, they should be treated rationally.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is August 15th of the lunar calendar and September of the solar calendar 10.

Mid-Autumn Festival has many customs since ancient times.

For example, worship the moon, enjoy the moon, eat moon cakes, watch lanterns and drink osmanthus wine. With the progress of the times, many people are no longer bound by traditional customs and activities.
