What do you mean Lei Xianming got off the dragon before he woke up?

It means: before the thorn came, the thunder rumbled and it was going to rain. It's raining hard, just like dragons playing in the sky.

Sting means hiding. Sting refers to the sudden movement of spring thunder, which awakens the hibernating animals in the soil.

When you are stung, you will resist with your fingers. The meridian of the sun is 345 degrees. This solar term means that after beginning of spring, the weather gets warmer, the spring thunder starts to shake, and all kinds of hibernating animals that are dormant in the soil will wake up and start to move, so it is called a fright. During this period, the eggs laid by overwintering insects will also begin to hatch. Some parts of China have entered the spring ploughing season. As the saying goes, "After being shocked, it is warm and harmonious, and the old toad sings folk songs." "I was startled by a plow, and the vernal equinox was full of air." "Before the thunder comes, the rain is like a dragon."

Extended data:

Thorns and thunder are the most striking. For example, "it thundered before the earthquake, and the clouds could not open for forty-nine days." The solar term of fright is in the middle of cold and warm weather. According to the cold and warm weather, there are proverbs to predict the weather in the later period: "Cold fright, warm spring equinox" and so on. The wind with prickly knots is also used as a basis for predicting the weather in the later period. For example, "if you are afraid of the north wind, you will spend the winter from the beginning" and "if you are afraid of the south wind, you will plant seedlings later".

The custom of "shocking" the white tiger in the lunar calendar is a folk legend in China. White tiger is the god of tongue and right and wrong. On this day every year, it will come out to feed and eat people. If you commit crimes within this year, you will often be made waves by evil villains, which will hinder your future development and lead to all kinds of difficulties.

In order to protect themselves, everyone sacrificed the white tiger on the day of shock. The so-called white tiger sacrifice refers to the white tiger painted with paper for sacrifice. Paper tigers are usually yellow and black, with a pair of fangs painted on the corners.

When offering sacrifices, you need to feed it with the blood of the fat pig, so that it won't hurt people after eating it, and then put raw pork on the mouth of the paper tiger, so that it is covered with oil and water and can't open its mouth to tell people right and wrong. Eating pears in surprise is called the custom of "eating pears in surprise" among the people. There is no trace of when pears were eaten, but there is such a story circulating among the people in Qixian County.

According to legend, Qu Ji, a well-known Shanxi merchant at sea, is the eldest son of Shangdang County. In the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, he took his two sons, Xin and Yi, and traded the Party's pears for coarse cloth and red dates in Qixian for profit. Over time, he had savings and settled down in Qixian County.

During the Yongzheng period, the Fourteenth Canal reached the west exit, which was the day of surprise attack. His father took out pears for him to eat. He said that his ancestors sold pears to start a business and settled in Qixian after hardships. Today, you went to the west exit in surprise. Eating pears is to make you not forget your ancestors, work hard to start a business and honor your ancestors.

Qu Baichuan went west to become rich in business and named the shop name "Changyuan Hou". Later, westerners followed suit and ate pears, mostly with the intention of "leaving home to start a business". Later, they were shocked and ate pears, and they also had the idea of "trying to honor their ancestors."
