Sting is one of the 24 solar terms in China every year, and it generally enters the "Sting" Festival on March 5 or 6 of the solar calendar every year. In winter, there are sprinkles everywhere, plants turn yellow, and snakes and insects hibernate or hide. In spring, the vitality of the earth is revived and everything is flourishing. At this time, the yin and yang of heaven and earth touch each other, and the atmosphere is restless, producing lightning. On the day of "awakening", the first thunder will sound this year, all kinds of hibernating snakes and insects will be awakened, and everything on the earth will begin to move and sprout. Because the spring thunder "shocked" the dormant insects, this solar term is called "shocking".
