What is shock?

Being shocked for a while is the beginning of peach blossom.

Sting is the third of the 24 solar terms. On March 5th and 6th, every year, when the sun reaches 345 degrees, it is "in a daze". Sting means that when the weather gets warmer, the spring thunder begins to sound, awakening the insects that are dormant and hibernating underground. Sting means hiding.

In ancient China, there were three stages of fear, namely, peach blossom, singing by an oriole and the eagle turning into a dove. It was described that this was the mid-spring season, and peach blossom was red, pear blossom was white, orioles sang and swallows came. According to the general climate law, the weather is getting warmer and there is more and more rain all over the country. Most areas have entered spring ploughing, which awakens all kinds of insects hibernating in the soil. At this time, the eggs in winter will also start to ovulate. It can be seen that fright is a solar term reflecting natural phenology.

As the saying goes, "Spring thunder is shocking". When insects and bacteria become active, the weather gets warmer and it is easy to breed diseases. Therefore, farmers in Shandong will burn pancakes on the day of fright, which means "smoke and fire will kill pests." Similarly, Shaanxi people will fry soybeans on this day, Guangxi Yao people will fry corn, Jiangsu Guazhou people will fry glutinous rice, and Fujian Hakkas will not only fry beans and wheat, but also.
