Sting (one of the 24 solar terms)

Surprisingly, the ancient name Tanabata is the third of the 24 solar terms and the beginning of the official calendar Uzuki. The time is around the first day of the second month of the lunar calendar (between March 5 and 6 of the Gregorian calendar), when the sun reaches 345 degrees of the yellow meridian. "Twenty-four solar terms": "February Festival ... everything is shocked, shocked by thunder, so it is called a thorn. It's a leaving thorn. "

At this time, the weather is getting warmer and there is gradually spring thunder. Animals hide in the soil in winter and don't drink or eat, which is called "sting". "Thunder" is the day when God wakes animals with thunder. At this time, most parts of China have entered the spring ploughing season.
