四月尾忽然間落場大雪，真係「未食五月粽，寒衣唔入籠」！ 粵
edit
It suddenly snowed during the end of April. It really goes with the saying "Until one has eaten Dragon Boat Festival's dumplings, do not keep one's warm clothings". [未食五月粽寒衣唔入籠 is a Cantonese saying. There are variations used by Mandarin and other dialects.] Legend 國 : Written Chinese only 粵 : Spoken Cantonese only |
