Is it true that something big will happen when there is winter thunder?

People believe that winter thunder is a bad omen and that something bad will happen.
Chinese traditional culture emphasizes the interaction between heaven and man and the unity of heaven and man. The ancients believed that spring, summer, autumn and winter each have their own policies, and they must all follow the will of heaven. If there is thunder in winter, there may be plague, mutiny or rebellion in the coming year. There are folk proverbs that say "When there is thunder in winter, nine out of ten cattle sheds are empty", "When there is thunder in winter, thieves appear everywhere", "When there is thunder and snow, nine out of ten tough men become weak", etc. The ancients believed that winter is the season when all things hide, and the yang energy must be hidden. If there is thunder in winter, something big will happen, which means that the yang energy of heaven and earth can no longer be hidden and will leak out. In the next year, there may be a plague, or even an earthquake, which will cause disaster to all things. Therefore, there is a saying that when there is thunder in winter, something big will happen.
From a scientific point of view, the saying "winter thunder means big things will happen" is pure nonsense. In fact, thunder occurs all year round and is a normal natural phenomenon. It's just that winter thunder is rarer than summer thunder and doesn't mean anything. In ancient times, science and technology were limited, and people were very afraid and awed by this rare and terrifying weather phenomenon, which they regarded as a punishment from God. Every time they heard thunder in winter, they thought it was a bad sign.

Thunderstorm Weather Precautions

1. When it is thundering and raining, it is strictly forbidden to stay on the top of a mountain or in a high hill area. It is even more forbidden to continue to climb to a high place to watch the rain. Do not hide under a big tree or near a telephone pole, and do not walk or stand in an open field. You should hide in a low-lying area as soon as possible, or find shelter in a house or a dry cave as much as possible.
2. During thunderstorms, do not use umbrellas with metal handles, and take off metal-framed glasses, watches, and belts. If you are traveling by bicycle, get off the bicycle as soon as possible and stay away from other metal objects to avoid conductivity and being struck by lightning.
3. During thunderstorms, do not go swimming, boating, fishing, etc. in rivers or lakes.
4. When there is thunder, lightning, wind and rain, if tourists are resting in a hotel, they should immediately turn off the television, radio, stereo, air conditioner and other electrical appliances in the room to avoid electrical conduction. When thunder strikes, it is safer to stay in the center of the room. Avoid staying directly under a light or leaning against pillars, walls, doors or windows to avoid accidents caused by induced electricity during thunder strikes.
