The meaning of fear

Thorn means: Spring thunder woke up all the insects.

Historically, the sting means that the weather is getting warmer, and the spring thunder begins to sound, awakening the insects hibernating underground. "Twenty-four solar terms" said: "February Festival, everything vibrates, and when it vibrates, it thunders, so it is called thunder. It's an escaped cockroach. Tao Yuanming, a poet in the Jin Dynasty, said in a poem: "In the spring rain, thunder began in the east corner, and everyone was lurking, and everything was suitable. "

In fact, insects can't hear thunder. Spring is back, and the warmer weather is the reason why they end their hibernation and "run away in surprise". In China, the time when the spring thunder begins to ring is different from morning till night. On the average for many years, thunder can be heard in southern Yunnan around the end of 1, while the first thunder day in Beijing is in late April. The saying that "thunder begins with you" is consistent with the climate law in Jiangnan.

The traditional custom of shocking and stinging

1, startled to eat pears

In Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and other places, people have the custom of eating pears, which means leaving pests behind. In the warm and cold spring, because the climate is relatively dry, it is easy to make people thirsty and cough. Pear is cold and sweet, and has the effects of moistening lung, relieving cough, nourishing yin and clearing heat. In addition, pear is homophonic with "Li", which means to keep the disease away from the body.
