氣象學是人類在生產鬥爭中最迫切、最需要、最基本的一種知識。人們若不能把握寒暑陰晴的規律,無論衣食住行都會發生問題的。遠在三千年以前,殷墟甲骨文中,許多卜辭,都爲要知道陰晴雨雪而留传下來。積了多年的經驗,到周代前半期,我們的祖先已經搜集了許多氣象學的經驗,播爲詩歌,使婦孺統可以傳誦。如詩經裹“相彼雨雪,先集繼霰”就是說冬天下雪以前,必要先飛雪珠。 Meteorology is the most urgent, the most needed, and the most basic kind of knowledge for mankind in the struggle for production. If people can not grasp the laws of sunny days, no matter what they are, they will have problems. As far back as three thousand years ago, many oracle inscriptions in the oracle in the Yin Ruins were all passed down for understanding of the rain and snow. After years of experience, by the first half of the Zhou dynasty, our ancestors had collected many experiences in meteorology and sowed poems so that women and children can be recited. Poems by the package “phase rain and snow, first set after the graupellet” means that before winter snow, it is necessary to first fly snow beads.
