Climatic characteristics of panic solar terms

"Spring thunder rings, everything grows", and it is a fine sunny day in September, with the temperature rising and the rain increasing. In addition to the winter scenes in which the northeast and northwest regions are still covered in white, the average temperature in most parts of the country has risen above 0℃, the daily average temperature in North China is 3-6℃, the temperature in the south of the Yangtze River is above 8℃, and the temperature in Southwest China and South China has reached 10- 15℃, which is already a harmonious spring.

"Spring thunder scares thousands of insects", and the warm climate conditions are conducive to the occurrence and spread of many diseases and insect pests, and weeds in the fields are also sprouting. It is necessary to do a good job in pest control and intertillage weeding in time. "Peach blossoms come, swine fever comes", and we should also pay attention to the epidemic prevention of poultry and livestock.

At this time, the temperature rose rapidly, and spring thunder gradually appeared in most areas of the Yangtze River Basin. In most parts of southern China, the first sound of spring thunder can also be heard in the perennial rain and stormy waves; However, except for a few years, there was no thunder in northwest China until Qingming, which is the latest area where thunderstorms began in most parts of southern China.

The custom activities of shocking solar terms

Sacrifice to the white tiger

The folklore "White Tiger" is the god of words and right and wrong. On this day every year, it will come out to feed and bite. If it is committed, it is often done by evil villains, which hinders future development and leads to all kinds of difficulties. In order to protect themselves, everyone sacrificed the white tiger on the day of shock. White tiger painted with paper for sacrifice. Paper tigers are usually yellow and black, with a pair of fangs painted on their mouths. 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.

Beat the villain

"Little people" are shameless people with resentment and love to make trouble. "Beating villains" is a witchcraft ceremony popular in Hong Kong and Guangdong. I hope to use this witchcraft ceremony to expel and retaliate against the so-called "little people." So every year there will be an interesting scene in Guangdong and Hong Kong. While beating the paper doll with wooden slippers, the woman chanted the mantra of "Beat your little head until you are so angry that you will vomit when you eat".

Drive away bad luck

The wake-up call symbolizes the beginning of February. It will wake up all hibernating snakes, insects, mice and ants, and reptiles and ants at home will get up and look around for food. Therefore, in ancient times, people would hold incense and wormwood and smoke in four corners of their homes to drive away snakes, insects, mosquitoes, rats and musty smells with fragrance. Over time, it gradually evolved into the habit of unhappy people to drive away bad luck, similar to the witchcraft tool of "beating villains".

The shocking significance of solar terms

This solar term is of great significance in busy farming. Since ancient times, the working people in our country have attached great importance to the solar term of fright and regarded it as the day when spring ploughing began. There is a cloud in Tang poetry: a light rain brings new flowers, and a thunder begins. Tian Jia was idle for a few days, and farming began. Agricultural proverbs also say: After the Frightening Festival, spring ploughing can't rest. We should try our best to cultivate flowers and do farm work together.

Winter wheat in North China began to turn green, and the soil was still frozen and thawed alternately. Raking the ground in time is an important measure to reduce water evaporation. Scared but not raking the ground is like steaming steamed bread, which is a valuable experience for local people to prevent drought and conserve moisture. Wheat in the south of the Yangtze River has been jointing and rape has begun to blossom. There is a high demand for water and fertilizer, so topdressing should be done in time, and proper irrigation should be done in dry and rainy places.

Rain in the south can generally meet the needs of vegetables, wheat and green manure crops in spring, and it is most important to prevent wet damage. As the saying goes, "It's better to dump manure than to plow wheat with three pipes" and "If you want to harvest rapeseed, you must manage plowing diligently". We should continue to do a good job in ditch cleaning and drainage.

We should pay close attention to sowing early rice in South China, and at the same time do a good job in cold prevention in rice fields. As the temperature rises, tea trees gradually germinate, so it is necessary to prune and apply "germination accelerating fertilizer" in time to promote more branches and leaves and increase tea yield. Fruit trees such as peaches, pears and apples should be fertilized before flowering.
