What does it mean to be shocked by the lunar calendar?

? "Lunar Scare" refers to one of the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar (summer calendar). I want to make it clear from three aspects-?

1. Semantic analysis of "quiet person"? The word "Jing" in "Jing Zhe" is really well used. Sting means that animals hibernate and hide when they can't eat. And once the time is up, it is time to "wake up", and those hibernating animals are startled. This word "static" is really well used, showing the rising form of sleeping for a long time.

? It means that the spring thunder began to sound, awakening the insects that were dormant and hibernating underground. "Twenty-four solar terms" has an explanation: "February Festival, everything is shocked, shocked by thunder, so it is said that it is a sting, and it is a sting that leaves." It can be seen that it is already spring thunder.

? This "fright" was originally an "awakening sting". China's earliest traditional agricultural almanac "Xia Zheng Xiao" records: "The first month begins with a stab, and the words begin." There is a word "qi" in the name of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty. In order to avoid taboo, the word "qi" was changed to "Jing" with similar meaning, and the Jing was moved to the rainy solar term, forming today's order.

? This change has really changed the realm. "Kai" only expresses the meaning of "Kai" calmly, while "Jing" is a personification technique, which personifies animals. When those small animals wake up after a deep sleep, they all seem to have a "panic" expression.

Second, the climatic characteristics of fright? Sting is the third of the twenty-four solar terms, and the time is March 5-6 in the Gregorian calendar, when the sun reaches 345 degrees on the yellow meridian.

? After the arrival of Jing Zhe, the climate is characterized by cold and warm, the wind changes greatly, the temperature rises obviously, and there is more rain. In addition to the winter scenes in the northeast and northwest, the average temperature in most parts of the country has risen above 0℃, the average daily temperature in North China is 3 ~ 6℃, and that in the south of the Yangtze River is above 8℃.

? The spring sting is called "Easter" because the spring bud and the virus are revived at the same time.

Third, "third class"? At this time, it is already mid-spring, and it has entered the season of peach blossom red, plum blossom white and orioles singing.

? The "three stages" of sting and sting show the changing characteristics of this season: first, peach blossoms bloom, then orioles sing, and finally, turtledoves come.

? Wait for the peach blossoms to bloom. The buds of peach blossom lie dormant in severe winter and bloom when they are startled. Then, Tang Dihua, Wild Rose, Plum Blossom, Apricot Blossom and Begonia will also bloom at this time.

? Second, wait for Cang Geng Ming. Cang Geng, that is, Huang Peng and Huang Peng sang, and animals began to courtship.

? Three waiting eagles turned into pigeons. At this time, the eagle became a pigeon, and in autumn, the pigeon became an eagle again. Some people think that eagles fly back to the north every February and March to breed, but now they have disappeared. Only the turtledove flew out, so the ancients thought that the turtledove in spring was changed by the eagle in autumn.

Fourth, the custom of panic? According to the climatic characteristics of the fright, the following customs were formed in ancient times-

? Eat pears. In the solar term of surprise cushion, the climate is relatively dry, which makes people thirsty, cold and cough easily, so people have the custom of eating surprise cushion pears. Eating pears at this time can promote fluid production and moisten dryness, and prevent wind-heat colds and respiratory infections, which is in line with the seasonal characteristics of this solar term.

? Plant trees. After the thunder in March, "Arbor Day" followed.

? Enjoy the early cherry blossoms. After the fright, the spring rain for several days in a row made the air very fresh. Early cherry blossoms are also competing to open.

? These customs can be inherited now: eating pears is good for health; Planting trees is beneficial to ecological construction; Watching early cherry blossoms can relax your mood and benefit your body and mind.

? The thorn is the beginning of the scene of flowers. When the sting comes, let's go out and enjoy the wonderful time brought by nature in spring!
