Today is September 7, 2024, the fifth day of the eighth lunar month. This day welcomes the fifteenth solar term of the twenty-four solar terms, Bailu.

In traditional Chinese culture, the twenty-four solar terms are not only a guide for agricultural activities, but also carry rich cultural implications and folk traditions.

Among them, "Bai Lu", as the third solar term in autumn, marks the beginning of the temperature drop, the increase in dew, and the cooler weather. "Bai Dew falls on an odd day" means that the White Dew solar term falls on an odd-numbered day in the lunar calendar. This year, the White Dew falls on the fifth day of August. This phenomenon has special omens and interpretations among the people.

So what are the signs of "white dew and fortune"? Is the Bailu solar term better to fall on an odd day or a double day? Let’s find out together.

White Dew is a special season, which makes winter sad.

The White Dew solar term itself marks the cooler weather and dew begins to condense, which is the transition period from autumn to late autumn. The meaning of this sentence can be understood as if the lunar date of the White Dew Day is an odd number, it indicates that the following winter may be cold and difficult.

When the Bailu solar term falls on an odd number of days, the weather will often rain more and the ground will be difficult to dry, which is the so-called "underground does not dry". The prediction of this phenomenon has important guiding significance for farmers, especially during the critical period of crop growth. Excessive rainfall may cause the soil to be too wet, affecting the healthy growth of crops and the final harvest.

The white dew falls on even days, and the dry grains are full.

"White Dew falls on even days". "Dry grains and full warehouses" means dry grains and full warehouses, which is a symbol of harvest.

This farmer’s proverb implies that if the White Dew solar term falls on an even number day, it indicates that the weather will be sunny in the following period, suitable for crop maturation and harvesting, which will help dry the grains and reduce the risk of mildew, diseases and insect pests, thereby ensuring a bumper harvest and a full barn. .

The scientific principle behind the farmer's proverb

After the white dew, if the weather is sunny, it will be beneficial to the maturity and drying of crops, reduce diseases and mildew caused by moisture, and ensure the quality and yield of crops.

Farming proverbs instruct farmers to adjust farming activities according to weather changes, such as harvesting and drying grains at the right time, to reduce losses and ensure a bumper harvest.

In modern agricultural production, although we have more accurate weather forecasts and advanced agricultural management technology, the farmer's proverb "when the dew comes in double, the dry grain is full" still has certain practical significance. It reminds farmers to pay attention to weather changes, arrange agricultural activities reasonably, ensure the smooth maturity and harvest of crops, and ensure the stability and bumper harvest of agricultural production.
