九

九九八十一。

Nine times nine is eighty-one.

九曲黃河萬里沙，浪淘風簸自天涯。

The Yellow River with its many twists and turns flows thousands of miles full of sand / Carried by its waves stirred up by the wind coming from a faraway land.

一九二九不出手，三九四九冰上走。

In the first and the second nine-day period, one should not take out one's hand; / In the third and the fourth nine-day period, the ice is thick enough to stand.

十拿～稳

～死一生。

冷在三～，热在三伏。
