The origin of the proverb "A spider hangs a web, and the rain will clear after a long time"
According to observations, in many places in our country. If you see spiders spreading their webs, the rainy weather will turn sunny. If you see spiders closing their webs, the weather will turn cloudy and rainy.
Spiders can predict the weather, mainly because spiders are very sensitive to changes in humidity in the air. There are many small spinnerets at the tail of the spider. The spinner part is sticky and cool. When rainy weather comes, Due to the high humidity and water vapor in the air, the water vapor easily condenses into small water droplets in the spider's spinneret. This makes the spider find it difficult to spin silk, so it stops letting go of silk and collects the web. On the contrary, when the humidity in the air decreases and the weather improves, the spider spins silk smoothly and sets up its web to catch insects.
According to another study, the legs of spiders can sense sounds with a frequency of 20-50 Hz. When the weather turns fine, insects are more likely to move. Spiders will soon detect the buzzing sound they make when flying, so Then add silk and weave a net, ready to capture.
This is exactly the reason why people use the proverb "when a spider hangs a web, the rain will clear after a long time" to observe whether the weather is clear or rainy.
The origin of the proverb "Eat ginger in the morning and radish in the evening will make the doctor cry with anxiety"
From: Long March No. 1 (Suzhou)
One year, Cixi The Queen Mother suddenly fell seriously ill, suffering from headache, heartache, and abdominal pain. She was so ill that she was dying, and all the civil and military officials in the court were anxious. There were many famous doctors in Beijing, but they were unable to deal with the Queen Mother's illness. Do you have no ability? No, the responsibility is really too great, and I am embarrassed about taking the medicine. If it is too light, it will not be effective, but if it is too heavy, I am afraid that if I make a mistake, I will not be able to bear the consequences. Therefore, the Empress Dowager Cixi's problems became more and more critical day by day, and she was about to come to an end.
The new champion is from Suzhou. He wrote a book saying that there was a famous ancestral doctor in Suzhou named Cao Cangzhou, nicknamed Sai Huatuo. He had a wonderful rejuvenation technique. If he invited him here, maybe the Queen Mother's body could be restored to peace. .
Cao Cangzhou is like a country boy. He usually doesn't like to talk and walks slowly. On this day, when he received the imperial edict, his face suddenly turned pale, he hugged the whole family and cried loudly. He determined that if the Queen Mother was not incurable, she would not come to Suzhou from the capital to invite him. If the Queen Mother could not be cured, the doctor would be buried, and his life would never come back. But the imperial decree could not be violated, so Cao Cangzhou had no choice but to bite the bullet and set off. As soon as he arrived in Beijing and settled in, he used the excuse that he had caught a cold on the road and was bedridden. In fact, the illness was false: he wanted to get to the root of Empress Dowager Cixi's illness. The first big thing is to check what medicine she takes? You won’t know if you don’t check, but you’ll be shocked if you check. Not to mention the delicacies that the Empress Dowager Cixi ate every day, the ginseng alone made her want to take a bath in the ginseng soup every day. There are also bird's nests and white fungus, which are even eaten as food. Cao Cangzhou thought that it had been recorded in medical books: "Too much nourishment will inevitably lead to food obstruction and blockage of the middle burner, which will be in danger." After finding out the source of the disease, he became bolder and went to see a doctor for Empress Dowager Cixi.
Cao Cangzhou did not use any good medicine, and prescribed only herbal medicine, with only five characters: three qian for radish seeds. All the imperial doctors were stunned on the spot, with their tongues hanging out, thinking that this country doctor had come to Beijing to die. They all know the properties of medicine. Radish seeds contain oil. The Queen Mother has always wanted to nourish the body. This medicine is obviously not in line with the Queen Mother's wishes. However, Cao Cangzhou picked the medicine with his own hands, boiled the medicine with his own hands, and delivered the medicine to the Queen Mother's bedroom, waiting for her. After drinking it, he returned to his residence to rest.
The Queen Mother drank three qian of radish seed decoction and had a bowel movement that night, and got up early the next morning. The first thing she did was to thank the miracle doctor Cao Cangzhou. After meeting, she gave Cao Cangzhou a ninth-grade crown and asked him to ride around the capital. Cao Cangzhou received the imperial title. When he returned to his hometown, he had not yet arrived home, but the local official had already built a three-in house for him. From then on, he specialized in treating local villagers at home, not only providing medical treatment, but also delivering medicine. He always persuaded people to eat more radishes when he met them. As time went by, there was a proverb in Suzhou: "If you eat ginger in the morning and eat radishes in the evening, the doctor will cry with anxiety."
Also, proverbs are concise language used by people to describe long-term accumulated experience in production and life. This is its source. .
