A light rain, a new thunder, a wake-up call, took a few days off at Tianjia.

It means: after the spring rain, all the flowers look brand-new, and the hibernating animals in the soil are awakened by a spring thunder.

Guan Tian Jia, written by Wei in the Tang Dynasty, profoundly revealed the exorbitant taxes and unreasonable social system at that time by describing the hard work of farmers all the year round. Since the day of the shock, farmers have never been "at leisure for a few days" and have been busy with farm work in the dark all day. As a result, there is no food for the night at home and the labor has not been completed.

I am deeply ashamed to think that I am not engaged in agriculture, but Lu Feng is from this village. As a feudal official, such remorse is really rare. This kind of thoughts and feelings is the same as that of Du Fu and others. It is a feature of pastoral poetry in Tang Dynasty and a fine tradition of classical poetry in China.

The fear of the twenty-four solar terms

Sting is the third of the 24 solar terms. Battle nail, the sun reaches 345 degrees of the Yellow Meridian, and the festival is on March 5-6 of the Gregorian calendar. Spine reflects the state of germination and growth of natural organisms affected by rhythm changes.

Speaking of earthquakes, the sun's spirit rises, the temperature warms up, the spring thunder suddenly moves, the rain increases, and everything is full of vitality. Farming production is closely related to the rhythm of nature, and the solar term of fright is of great significance in farming, which is the reflection of ancient farming culture on natural festivals.

"Sting" means "hiding". In winter, insects hide in the soil. "Surprise" means "wake up". Spring thunder in the sky woke up the bugs. The so-called "spring thunder" means that when the spring thunder begins to sound, it wakes up the stinging insects that are dormant in the ground for the winter.

In some ancient places, people smoked the four corners of their houses with incense and wormwood to drive away "snakes, insects, mosquitoes and rats" and musty smell. Over time, it gradually evolved into the custom of shocking and beating villains to drive away bad luck. In addition, there are customs such as "covering the drum skin", "eating pears" and "offering sacrifices to white tigers to resolve right and wrong".
