On the first day of July, "open the underground door". Folk old people think that the first day of the seventh lunar month is the day when the tunnel door opens, so what is the tunnel door? There is a folk saying that seven is yin, eight is yang, and nine is heavy, which means that the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the "cloudy moon", and the fifteenth day of July is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is also the month of folk ancestor worship.
After entering the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the folk old people thought that the yang began to rise and the yin declined, so eight was yang. After the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the yang gradually rises, and the ninth day of September is a folk "Double Ninth Festival", so there is a saying that "seven is yin, eight is yang, and nine is heavy".
Ancestors believe that the seventh month of the lunar calendar is also called "ancestor worship festival" among the people. Because of this, the folk old people think that July is the season of Yin Qi's continuous divergence and enlargement, so July of the lunar calendar is endowed with more religious mystery. Therefore, in the case of "Yin Qi rises and Yang Qi sinks" in July, because Yin Qiqiang in July of the lunar calendar opened a passage and exit, which is the "underground palace gate" and the "yin fire gate" on the first day of the seventh lunar month.
On the first day of July, "Meng Yuetou". Ancestors believe that there are four Meng Yue in a year, which are the beginning of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The first day of the first lunar month in spring is Meng Yuetou, the first day of the fourth lunar month in summer is Meng Yuetou, the first day of the seventh lunar month in autumn is Meng Yuetou, and the first day of the tenth lunar month in winter is Meng Yuetou. Of course, it is also called "Four Beginning Days" and "Four Seasons Meng Yue".
Ancestors believe that the first day of July belongs to "Meng Qiuyue" and is also the beginning of autumn season, so this day is also very important. If the weather is good this day, it means that this autumn is particularly good, because the weather is good and the crops are bumper. Ancient people also held ceremonies on these four "Meng Yuetou" days, praying for good weather and less disasters and shortages.
Not afraid of the rain on the first day of July, but afraid of the sunny day on the first day of July.
1, 1. Agricultural proverb: "It rains in early July, and there is no good weather in half a month". The "first day of July" here refers to the first day of the seventh lunar month, while the rainy first day of July refers to the rainy first day of the seventh lunar month. So this sentence means that if it rains on the first day of July, the next month will be cloudy and the weather will not be too sunny.
2. Second, the agricultural proverb, "On the first day of July, the wind and rain are twenty-four." "Shifting flow" refers to the barrel flow of river water when it rains, indicating heavy rain. And "24" means 24 days. So this sentence means that if it rains heavily at the beginning of July in the lunar calendar, or for the next 24 days, it will rain continuously.
