These sayings in the Old Yellow Calendar, also known as "imperial calendar" and "peasant calendar", are widely circulated in rural areas. Because our country adopts a mixed calendar, the old yellow calendar is a comprehensive calendar of solar calendar, lunar calendar and trunk calendar.
The Old Yellow Calendar played a great role in ancient times, which was promulgated by the emperor as a code of conduct for people. In addition, astronomy, meteorology, seasons, etc. These methods are often used to guide farmers' farming and have practical effects in production.
What do you mean by "10 mice grabbing grain"?
This statement is based on the ancient trunk and branch calendar, and the time is calculated by using the trunk and branch of 10 day and the branch of 12 to form 60 trunk and branch. "10 rats grab grain", that is, when the number of rats is decided on one of the sub-days of the first month of each year. On the 10th day of the first month in the year of Xin Chou, it was called "10 mouse grabbing grain".
What's the significance of "10 mice grabbing grain"?
As we all know, rats are one of the four pests, destroying crops and stealing food. There are many mice, which is definitely not a good thing, but in ancient rural areas, mice are a symbol of wealth. Businessmen often come to suncus murinus, which shows the beautiful meaning of making a fortune. From this point of view, the year of "10 rats grabbing grain" should be good. Combined with the saying that "the year of cattle and horses, the year of good agriculture", the agricultural harvest next year can not be wrong.
What does "12 tiger fighting for meat" mean?
Same as above, starting from the first day of the first month after the Spring Festival. One of the cloudy days (the yin is the tiger) appears on the 12th day of the first month, and the main branch is Ren Yin, which means that next year belongs to "12 tigers compete for meat".
As an exotic species, the tiger represents the ancient countryside. At that time, compared with the worship of dragons, tigers were fierce. Therefore, the tiger's competition for meat represents the amount of meat and determines the difficulty of reproduction. "12 tiger's competition for meat" actually reflects the lack of meat.
From the beginning of 2022, the price of meat rose too much, from the initial 6 yuan/kg to 30 yuan/kg. Although 80% of the hard-hit industries have recovered and there are enough pigs, the price of meat is still as firm as invincible Xiao Qiang.
The rise in meat prices has brought profound harm, causing price increases and inflation; In addition, people look at the meat and sigh. Old people and children don't know the taste of meat for many days. In 2022, there was a saying that "nine butchers divided pigs", and now it also shows that the annual meat price will not be cheap.
What do you think of these two proverbs?
In fact, for the ancients, quite a few proverbs accumulated experience, even just a good wish, lacking scientific research, and now they have long lost their guiding role. On the contrary, as science and technology improve productivity, mechanization and sweat resist natural disasters, the harvest of agriculture can be controlled and expected. As for pork, pig futures have been listed today, which is conducive to the return of meat prices in 2022. I believe that the price of meat will return to the people's table again.
