Twenty four hyacinths, one is plum blossoms

waiting, i.e. 5 days. The representative flower of the first 5 days of the year is the plum blossom.

The so-called flower trade wind refers to the flowers that bloom during a certain solar term, because it is the wind that comes during the flowering period, so it is called the trade wind. People choose a flower with the most accurate flowering period as a representative, which is called the flower trade wind in this solar term, which means the wind weather that brings the sound of flowering.

According to the Southern Dynasty Zongyi's "Jing Chu Years Said" cloud: the beginning of the plum blossom, the end of the neem flower, where the twenty-four flowers trade wind. That is, from Xiaohan to Guyu a total of eight qi (eight air festivals), one hundred and twenty days, every five days for one wait, counting twenty-four waits, each wait should be a kind of flower letter.

The twenty-four flower trade winds are two solar terms in each month, each solar term, and there are three seasons, each of which lasts for five days. Every five days, there is a flower letter, that is, every five days there is a flower bud open, that is, January two qi six flowers trade wind. Every time the trade wind of the flowers is the opening period of the flowers, before and after the valley rain, the flowers are in full bloom, thousands of purples and thousands of reds, the fragrance is everywhere, and the spring is full of the earth.

The neem flowers are ranked last, indicating that the neem flowers are blooming, and the flowers are over. After the 24 trade winds, summer begins with the beginning of summer.

As the saying goes, "flowers and trees are in season, and birds are singing to report the agricultural time", the flowers and trees, birds and animals in nature are all in accordance with a certain season and seasonal activities, and their activities are closely related to climate change. Therefore, their various activities have become the signs of the seasons, such as the shade buds, leaves, flowering, fruiting, leaf yellowing and leaf fall of plants, and the dormancy, recovery, initiation, reproduction, migration and so on of animals, all of which are related to climate change, and people call these natural rhythmic phenomena phenology.

The "Book of Songs" of "Xiuluo in April, Song in May", "Flowing Fire in July", "Peeling Dates in August, Harvesting Rice in October", etc., are all manifestations of phenology.

Phenology is closely related to agricultural time. China is the earliest country in the world to study phenology, and the earliest phenological monograph, Xia Xiaozheng in the early Western Han Dynasty, recorded phenology, meteorology, astronomical phenomena and important political and agricultural activities in the order of 12 months a year, such as farming, silkworm raising, horse raising, etc. Since then, there have been similar phenological records in the "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" and "The Book of Rites", and gradually developed into 24 solar terms and 72 solar terms in a year.

The "Guangqun Fangpu" taught by Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty also has a record of 24 flower trade winds; Cheng Dog Chang's "Acting Fanlu" said "When the flowers bloom in March, the wind flowers the trade winds"; Lu You's "Traveling to the Front Mountain" also has a depiction of the flower trade wind with "the sound of clogs startling the pheasant, and the wind hyacinth is blooming".

24 The crocus trade winds not only reflect the natural phenomenon of flowers blooming and seasonality, but more importantly, they can be used to control the time of farming and arrange agricultural affairs. There are many folk proverbs that reflect phenology, such as: "peach blossoms, swallows come, prepare grain and plant fields", "cuckoo cuckoo, plant grass and harvest wheat" and so on.

Twenty-four flower trade winds Flower trade winds, the wind that comes in the flowering period. Chinese festive terms. Cheng Dachang's "Acting Fanlu" Volume 1:

When the flowers bloom in March, the wind is called the trade wind. "The Southern Dynasty Zongyi's "Jing Chu Years Said": The beginning of the plum blossom, the end of the neem flower, where the twenty-four flowers trade wind.

That's what we said at the time, anyway.

By the way: (below).

Twenty-four flower trade winds, one is the plum blossom" of "wait" refers to the solar terms.

The lunar calendar is the unit in which the climate of the four seasons is calculated. There are 60 hours in five days, and it becomes a jiazi, which is called a wait; The three waits are a total of 15 days, becoming a solar term. From "Su Wen: Six Verses of Tibetan Elephant Theory": "Three Candidates Say Qi" (Interpretation: Three Candidates are called a solar term).

Flower trade winds, winds that come in the flowering season. Chinese solar terms. According to the solar terms of the lunar calendar, from Xiaohan to Guyu, a total of eight qi, one hundred and twenty days.

Each qi is fifteen days, one qi is three days, each is five days, and eight qi is a total of twenty-four days, and each one corresponds to a flower. The 24 flower trade winds start from Xiaohan (around January 5) and end with Guyu (around May 5).

The beginning of the plum blossom, the end of the neem flower, where the twenty-four flowers trade wind. The annual flower trade wind plum blossom is the first, and the neem flower is the last. Before and after the rain in the valley, the flowers are in full bloom, and there are thousands of purples and reds. The neem flowers are ranked last, indicating that the neem flowers are blooming, and the flowers are over.

Xiaohan trade wind is already the wind of spring sun, the flower of the advent period is the first to push plum blossoms, "plum blossoms occupy the spring of the world first", this is the truth.

In ancient China, five days were a waiting, and three waiting was a solar term. Every year from winter to spring, there are 24 seasons in the 8 solar terms from Xiaohan to Guyu, and each time there is a certain flower bud blooming, so there is a saying of "24 flower trade winds".

The order is: Xiaohan: one plum blossom, two camellia, three narcissus;

Great cold: one waits for Ruixiang, two waits for orchids, and three waits for mountain alum;

Beginning of spring: one waits for spring, two waits for cherries, and three waits for spring;

Stinging: one peach blossom, two pear, three roses;

Vernal equinox: one begonia, two pear blossoms, three magnolias;

Qingming: one waiting for tung flowers, two waiting for wheat flowers, three waiting for willow flowers;

Gu Yu: one peony, two neem, three neem.

The 24 flower trade winds not only reflect the natural phenomenon of flowers blooming and seasonality, but more importantly, they can be used to grasp the agricultural time and arrange agricultural affairs. There are many folk proverbs that reflect phenology, such as: "peach blossoms, swallows come, prepare grain and plant fields", "cuckoo cuckoo, plant grass and harvest wheat" and so on.

Twenty-four flower trade winds, one is the plum blossom, the plum blossom is the earliest, the meaning is simply that the plum blossom is the earliest among all the flowers in the year.

It is from this that the author came up with the word "early" and the origin of the word "early" engraved on Lu Xun's desk.
