"A light rain brought new flowers, and a thunder began." At 5: 0010 on the 6th, the solar term was "startled".

Surprisingly, the traditional spring is the third solar term. That is, the period from March 5th (or 6th) to March 20th (or 2 1 day) when the sun is on the ecliptic from 345 to 360 (0) is about 15 days. At this time, the direct point of the sun moved from 5 57 ′ s to the equator.

Jingzhe, formerly known as "Qizhe", was renamed to avoid Emperor Liu Qi. At this time, the weather turned warmer, apricot blossoms were in full bloom, spring thunder sounded, snakes and insects woke up, and most parts of China entered the spring ploughing season, and the fields were busy.

Three stages of fear

In ancient China, the fright was divided into three stages: first, when the peach blossoms first opened; Second, wait for the sound of Cang Geng (Huang Li); Three waiting eagles turned into pigeons. It means peach blossom red, like rosy clouds; The oriole began to sing; There is no eagle in the sky, only the turtledove is singing. The flower letter represented by the three stages of fright is: "peach blossom, apricot blossom and rose." When three flowers bloom, there is the crackle of spring everywhere.

Meteorological data also show that in this terrible season, the average temperature in most parts of China has risen above zero degrees Celsius, and only the northeast and northwest regions are still winter scenes.

"1999, the wind in the south of the Yangtze River warmed up, and the green fields were plowed in spring." Agricultural and meteorological experts further said that the "99" sunny day coincided with the "99" season. There is a folk saying that "nine flowers bloom and farm work together". At this time, most parts of China have entered the spring ploughing season, and farmers all over the country are scrambling to prepare for spring ploughing.

Stinging custom

"I was shocked to clear the field, and the bugs died tens of millions." This agricultural proverb points out the agricultural theme of phenological solar terms.

Sting refers to the state that animals lurk in soil or holes when hibernating. The ancients understood that the sudden movement of spring thunder awakened the animals that were dormant and hibernating in the soil.

In fact, it is not thunder, but the return of spring and the warm weather that cause animals to end their hibernation. During the period of fright, the temperature rose rapidly, and spring thunder gradually appeared in most areas of the Yangtze River basin, with beautiful spring and renewed Vientiane. Wheat in the north has begun to turn green and jointing, and farmers are busy cleaning ditches, raising seedlings, fertilizing, preventing diseases, weeding, preventing insects and sowing cotton and corn in the fields. As the agricultural proverb goes, "It is better to turn over a lump of shit than to turn over the fields in spring." It can be seen that the main tillage during the period of fright is spring ploughing, fertilization and pest control.

For farmers, pests are rice bowls, and they must be eliminated. Therefore, the related folk custom of shocking and stinging is related to "insects".

Sprinkle lime all over the body to avoid pests.

An agricultural proverb says, "Killing a bug in spring is better than killing a thousand in summer." So, when you first start to sting, get rid of the bugs in time. As the saying goes, "killing insects is a coincidence, as long as you start early."

During the period of fright, hundreds of insects fled around in shock, spreading all over the countryside and home, or hurting crops or disturbing lives. People hate this, and come up with all kinds of practices with witchcraft nature, which are implemented for a long time and form folk customs.

In southeastern Shandong, housewives knock on the kitchen table with a cooking stick, which is called "zhèn bug"; String colored paper, straw or fine straw together and hang it on the beam of the hall, which is called "string dragon tail" Some people knocked on the surface of the ladle and recited a spell while knocking: "On February 2, knock on the ladle fork. Ten nests of rats are blind, and one nest is not blind. Give it to the old eight families in Nanling." (Old Eight-fingered Snake)

Pesticides, in addition to using biological weapons, also have chemical W incarnation. Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, said in the book "A Thousand Women's Month Preface": "When you are frightened, take a lime bowl outside the threshold to get rid of insects and ants. "Lime used to have the function of killing insects. On the day of shock, it was sprinkled outside the threshold, and everyone thought that insects and ants were afraid to come to the door for a year.

Suichuan, Jiangxi Province also had the habit of killing insects in the early years. Some lime powder was sprinkled on the wall foundation, corral and toilet in front of and behind the house to kill insects and insects. In Tingzhou, Fujian, people scatter lime in the corner of the kitchen table and under the pillars. Besides, when they hear the first spring thunder, they should shake their clothes quickly, thinking that they can be free from lice and fleas for many years. All this is to give an insect a fright when it comes out of its thorn.

Stir-frying soybeans is like eating worms.

In Shaanxi, Gansu, Jiangsu, Shandong and other places, people fry soybeans and sesame seeds in pots, which is called "exploding longan" to seek favorable weather. Then men, women and children scrambled to eat the fried soybeans, which means "eating worms", meaning that people and animals are free from diseases and crops are harmless.

Yao people in Jinxiu County, Guangxi, eat "fried insects" on this day of fright. After frying the "bugs", put them in the hall, and the family will sit around and eat together. They will also eat and shout, "eat bugs, eat bugs!" " The "worm" here is actually corn kernels, which is symbolic.

In Tingzhou, Fujian, people cook taro with skin, which symbolizes caterpillars. Eating taro means killing all insects. In Shandong area, it is popular to roll cakes and burn cigarettes in the patio, which means to eliminate pests in the house through smoke and fire.

In addition to eating "worms", pears are also popular in Shanxi, which means leaving pests behind. From a health point of view, it is warm and cold on the day of the shock, and the climate is relatively dry, which is easy to make people thirsty and cough due to exogenous factors. Pear, cold and sweet, has the effects of moistening lung, relieving cough, nourishing yin and clearing heat. It is scientific to eat pear in shock.

Stay away from right and wrong sacrifices

In the legend of jiān, the white tiger is the god of breath and right and wrong. Every year, it comes out for food and eats people on panic day. In order to protect themselves, people sacrifice white tigers and white blades on the day of fright.

How to sacrifice? In fact, it is a tiger painted in paper for worship. Paper tigers are usually striped with yellow and black, with a pair of fangs painted on the corners. When offering sacrifices, you need to feed it with pig blood, which means that eating it will not hurt people, and then put raw pork on the mouth of the paper tiger to make it full of oil and water, and you can't say that people are right and wrong. In other places, duck eggs are used as food.

The meaning of fear, the explanation of fear

1. Sting is a solar term, which means that when spring thunder rings, hibernating animals wake up and start moving around. 2. Stinking is the third solar term in China in spring. Since then, it has entered the mid-spring season, and the temperature in most parts of China has started to rise. Farmers should start preparing for spring ploughing. This solar term was originally called "Zhe", but later it was changed to "Zhe" to avoid the name of Han Jing. 3. China is a typical temperate monsoon climate, which is greatly influenced by the monsoon. Leng Xia is hot in winter, with four distinct seasons. In winter, the Siberian cold current will go south, affecting most parts of the country, causing the national temperature to plummet and the rain and snow to increase. In February and March of the following year, the warm southeast monsoon will arrive here, the cold will recede and the ice and snow will melt. In order to adapt to this climate, most animals in China hibernate. Before the winter comes, many animals will find a suitable place to sleep. When the weather gets warmer, they will wake up, start activities and start foraging. One of the 24 solar terms is the time when hibernating animals wake up.

What's the meaning of the solar term of fright?

Sting is the third of the 24 solar terms. March 5 or 6 of the Gregorian calendar every year. "Sting" means "hiding". The ancients thought that small animals woke up from hibernation because they were awakened by thunder, so they were called "stunned".
