First, why is the solar halo a bad omen? In ancient times, the solar halo represented an ominous sign, because in the eyes of some yin and yang scholars, it represented the meaning of attack and heralded the coming of war. So the ancients thought the solar halo was an ominous sign.
1, disaster: In ancient geomantic omen, solar halo often indicates disaster. It is said that the appearance of solar halo is an imbalance between yin and yang, so marriage life will change, both men and women are easy to cheat, and both sides are easy to quarrel. If it is not resolved in time, it will eventually lead to a decline in the quality of marriage and even divorce. In addition, both sides are prone to a series of peach blossom robberies, even endangering their health and longevity.
2. War: The ancients always thought that war was related to astronomical phenomena, and the appearance of solar halo indicated that war was about to break out. In ancient times, people thought that solar halo had a powerful attack. With the appearance of solar halo, war is about to break out. In the contest between the two sides, the closer you are to the solar halo, the more likely you are to win. Therefore, the ancients believed that when the solar halo appeared, it was easy to encounter war, which was a very unlucky astronomical phenomenon.
Of course, in our modern eyes, solar halo is just a natural phenomenon. The formation of solar halo is due to the refraction of sunlight when it passes through ice crystals in clouds. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of halo, one is full halo and the other is notch halo.
Second, what is the meaning of solar halo? Solar halo is a common atmospheric optical phenomenon. When the weather is about to rain, cirrus clouds like bird feathers often appear in the sky, and then cirrus clouds with rain will appear in the air about 6 kilometers below cirrus clouds. Due to the low temperature, the water droplets in the cloud become small ice crystals with hexagonal prisms. Sunlight can pass through clouds, that is, it is refracted on small ice crystals. It seems that there is a circle around the sun, showing seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple from the inside out. This is a solar halo.
Solar halo is an atmospheric phenomenon. It was formed because cirrus clouds composed of ice crystals appeared at an altitude of 5000 meters. The ice crystals in cirrus clouds will undergo physical changes such as refraction and reflection after being irradiated by the sun, and the sunlight will be decomposed into red, yellow, green, purple and other colors. In this way, there will be a huge colorful halo around the sun, called a solar halo.
3. What are the legends of solar halo? There are many suns in the sky, which many people have never seen. Besides worrying about the earthquake, some people think of the story that Hou Yi reflected the sun.
This legend tells us that in the era of Yao Ming, there were ten suns in the sky at the same time, which scorched the land and dried the crops, making people breathless.
Because of the hot weather, some strange birds and animals also ran out of the dry rivers and lakes and burning forests, and people were killed everywhere. The disaster on earth shocked the gods in heaven. The emperor ordered Hou Yi, who was good at archery, to come down to earth to help the Yao people eliminate their sufferings.
Hou Yi took the bow and arrow given to him by the emperor and started the battle of shooting at the sun. In a flash, nine out of ten suns were shot away. It was only because Yao Ming thought a sun was useful to the people that Houyi was prevented from shooting. This is a famous story of Houyi shooting the sun.
