This saying is getting used more and more often these days. Especially since this is a year with an intercalary fourth month and Oxfam is saying that, "121 million more people could be pushed to the brink of starvation this year."

洪水属于天灾,相较大部分位于温带海洋性气候带的欧美国家,中国处于季风性气候带,面临更多不确定性,从大禹治水的传说可见,自古以来,治水从来都是治国的一大主题。按传统说法,2020年属“闰四月、吃树叶”的灾年。

「閏四月,吃樹葉」是老百姓,在生產、生活中總結出來的經驗。告誡子孫後代閏四月的時候,春季有所延長所以會影響到春耕和秋收,大家一定提前要做好防範。在閏四月的時候一定要,選擇最恰當的播種時間,同時也應該做好糧食積累,避免出現「吃樹葉」的悲劇。
