In our daily calendar, there are two sets of chronological calendars, one based on the solar calendar and the other based on the solar calendar. Today is March 2022 16. There is also a calendar based on the ancient lunar calendar in heavenly stems and earthly branches. According to the lunar calendar, today is the fourth day of February. Look, there are two different times to calculate the time on the same day. In ancient times, we used the lunar calendar to record time. Now, farmers grow crops and watch birthdays.
Today, we experienced the fourth day of February. According to the ancients, the February of the lunar calendar is also called Uzuki, and this base is the fourth place among the twelve branches, Maotu. The twelve earthly branches are composed of twelve: Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai. Mao ranked fourth. Then some people think that if it is arranged from January, the second month of the lunar calendar will not rank fourth. That's true. The ancients mapped the twelve months of the lunar calendar to the twelve branches of the earth, but the corresponding time did not begin in January.
Specifically, the ancients started from November to the corresponding months of the twelve earthly branches, that is, November in the lunar calendar is called the sub-month, December in the lunar calendar is called the ugly month, January is called silver moon, February is called Uzuki, and so on. Why did the ancients here take November as their child month? In fact, Zi represents the time and the zodiac mouse, so Zi mouse is said together. The ancients thought that 1 1 in the evening and 1 in the morning was the most active time for mice, so this time was the time when mice were most active, so when the time represented the month, it started from 1 1 month. The second day of February is also the day when dragons look up, so the rain in February will usher in a peak period.
There is a saying in the countryside that "every February third day, the farmland is bumper". What does it mean?
Every year in March and February
The "February" mentioned here is not February in the solar calendar, but February in the lunar calendar, also called Uzuki. "Meet" means meet, meet. "Three dates" refers to three dates, but as long as there are dates in heavenly stems and earthly branches, it is ok. Generally speaking, the difference between two dates is 12 days. Let's see how many dates there are in February of the lunar calendar.
According to the dry branch day of the old lunar calendar, the first day of the second lunar month is Gengshen Day, and the second day is Heart Day. One of the sunrise days is now the eighth day of February, which is Dingmao Day, and the next day is 12 days later, which is February 20, which is Jimao Day. After that, Maori will be the second day of March, the new Maori. So there are only two Mao days in February this year.
Farmland harvest
Farmland is actually paddy fields and dry land, where farmers grow whole grains. If it is a "bumper harvest", it is a bumper harvest for farmers and a bumper harvest year. But this is because there is a situation that "every February meets three basics".
Farmers believe that when there are three days in February of the lunar calendar, it will be a good year with rapid temperature rise and abundant rainfall, especially winter crops such as wheat, which grow well and are a bumper year.
February this year is only February 8 and February 20, and February is only the second day. What will this year be like? We will wait and see!
The above is about whether the second lunar month is silver moon or Uzuki, and it is about the sharing of twelve branches. See what July is, I hope it will help everyone!
