Idioms and allusions

The ancient poem said: "the law back to the late, less frost, spring to the human vegetation know." At this time, people always feel that spring is colder than winter. As the saying goes: "spring frozen bones, autumn frozen meat." What's going on? first of all, in terms of human physiology, the hot and cold sensation points on the surface of human skin are distributed in blocks, and the cold spots are more than the hot spots. So the forehead skin is sensitive to cold, but not to heat. There are 8-9 cold spots per square centimeter, but only 1.7 hot spots. The skin of trunk is more sensitive to cold than that of limbs. the sensitivity produced by the stimulation of ambient temperature directly depends on the distribution of sensory points in the stimulated skin area. The higher the density of sensory points, the more sensitive the skin is to the change of temperature. After the solar term of the first spring of the lunar calendar, it is difficult for people to adapt to the sudden change of temperature. Although the temperature shows an upward trend, the wind is relatively strong in spring. According to the test: when the temperature is 1.1 ℃ and the wind speed is 2.2 m / S (about equivalent to level 2 wind), the somatosensory temperature is - 2.8 ℃; when the temperature remains unchanged and the wind speed increases to 9.3 M / S (equivalent to level 5 wind), the somatosensory temperature can reach - 15.5 ℃. It can be seen that, due to the change of wind speed, there will be great difference in somatosensory temperature at the same temperature. Therefore, the proverb goes: "poor in debt, cold in the wind." This is scientific. in the spring, people will feel even colder when they encounter the "late spring cold" weather of "endless rain and wind", just as the proverb goes: "when the spring is reversed, the tendons will be broken by freezing". statistics show that there are different degrees of spring cold almost every year in the Yangtze Huaihe River Basin and other parts of the south of the Yangtze River in China, and the more severe spring cold occurs once every 3-4 years on average. Spring cold can be divided into early spring cold and late spring cold. According to the weather, the low temperature, rain and chilling injury before the equinox is called early spring cold, and the one after the equinox is called late spring cold. Because of the late occurrence of late spring cold, which is in the season of early rice seedling raising, cotton, vegetable sowing, seedling raising and transplanting, it is the most harmful to spring sowing crops. At the same time, the weather is wet and cold at this time, which is also very harmful to human health.
