What is the special meaning of solar terms?

According to folklore, all insects will "run away in fright" and come out of the soil and caves. So do you know what solar terms are? What special meaning or significance does it have? The following is the knowledge carefully recommended by Bian Xiao about what is the meaning of the term _ What is the special meaning of the term? I hope I can help you.

The special meaning of "thorn" in traditional Chinese characters is "_", and Shuowen Jiezi is interpreted as "Zangye". Where _ _. "Stinking" means waking up a dormant insect.

On March 5th or 6th of the Gregorian calendar every year, the sun reaches 345, the weather gets warmer, the spring thunder starts to sound, and the insects leave in shock, so this solar term is named "sting".

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. "Twenty-four solar terms" said: "February Festival, everything vibrates, and when it vibrates, it thunders, so it is called thunder. It's an escaped cockroach. Tao Yuanming, a poet in the Jin Dynasty, said in a poem: "In the spring rain, thunder began in the east corner, and everyone was lurking, and everything was suitable. "In fact, insects can't hear thunder. Spring is back, and the warmer weather is the reason why they end their hibernation and "run away in surprise". In China, the time when the spring thunder begins to ring varies from place to place. On the average for many years, thunder can be heard in southern Yunnan around the end of 1, and the first thunder day in Beijing is in late April. The saying that "thunder begins with you" is consistent with the climate law in Jiangnan.

In ancient China, the fright was divided into three stages: "When the peach blossoms bloom; Second, wait for the sound of Cang Geng (Huang Li); Three waiting eagles turned into pigeons. " Description has entered the season of mid-spring, peach blossom red, pear blossom white, orioles blare and swallows go. According to the general climate law, the weather in all parts of the country began to get warmer, with more rain, and most areas entered spring ploughing. When all kinds of insects dormant and hibernating in the soil are awakened, eggs in winter will also begin to ovulate. It can be seen that fright is a solar term reflecting natural phenology.

People should pay attention to the forecast of strong cold air activities by meteorological stations, guard against changes in temperature and cold, and prevent the prevalence of seasonal diseases such as colds.

The climatic characteristics of thunder reflect the natural phenological phenomenon, that is, the sudden movement of spring thunder awakens the dormant and hibernating animals in the soil. At this time, the temperature rose rapidly, and spring thunder gradually appeared in most areas of the Yangtze River Basin. In the eastern Sichuan Basin and the southern Liangshan Prefecture, the first sound of spring thunder can also be heard in the perennial rain shock; Except for a few years, the northwest part of the basin usually does not thunder until Qingming, which is the latest area where thunderstorms begin in Sichuan Province.

By the time of the earthquake, most parts of China had entered the busy season of spring ploughing. Really: the season waits for no one, and every moment is worth a thousand dollars. The average temperature of solar terms in Sichuan Basin is generally from 12℃ to 14℃, which is more than 3℃ higher than that of rainy terms, and it is the solar term with the fastest annual warming. The sunshine time has also increased significantly. However, due to the alternation of cold and warm air, the weather is unstable and the temperature fluctuates greatly. In the Yangtze River basin in the southeast of the basin, the temperature in the cold season is stable above 65438 02℃ in most years, which is beneficial to the sowing of rice and corn. The average daily temperature in other areas is lower than 12℃ for more than three consecutive days, so it is not allowed to sow blindly early.

Although the temperature rises rapidly, the increase of rainfall is limited. The total rainfall in the middle and northwest of the basin is only about 10 mm, and after years of winter drought, spring drought often begins to appear. At this time, the booting stage of wheat and flowering stage of rape are in a period of high water demand and are sensitive to water demand. Spring drought often becomes an important factor affecting the output of Koharu. Afforestation should also consider this climate feature, plant logistics and water, and strive to improve the survival rate of saplings.

The folk custom of being frightened and stung, offering sacrifices to the white tiger to resolve right and wrong.

According to the folklore in China, the white tiger is the god of tongue and right and wrong. On this day every year, it will come out for food and bite. If you commit a crime, you will often be made waves by evil villains, which will hinder your future development and lead to all kinds of troubles. 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.

Eat pears in horror.

There is a folk custom of "eating pears in surprise". 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."

Fear is caused by thunder. The ancients imagined Thor as a bird's beak, a winged god, holding a hammer in one hand and knocking on many drums around his body in the other, making a rumbling thunder. On this shocking day, Raytheon played drums in the sky, and the world also took this opportunity to cover the drums. Li Zhoujuan's 40 "Swing Man" said: "Whoever beats the drum begins to stab it." Note: "Stings, even in Meng Chun, sting insects move at the sound of thunder;" Drum, like also beat; Take it, I don't know it. " It can be seen that not only the ecology of various insects adapts to the operation of the four seasons, but also human beings, as the spirit of all things, should adapt to the weather, so that everything can get twice the result with half the effort.

"Beating villains" to 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 smoke the four corners of their homes with incense and wormwood to drive away snakes, insects, mosquitoes, rats and musty smells. Over time, it gradually evolved into the habit of slapping unhappy people and driving away bad luck, which is the predecessor of "beating villains".

Therefore, every year, there will be an interesting scene on the day of panic: while beating the paper doll with wooden slippers, the woman mumbles, "Hit your little head until you get angry and vomit when you eat."

"A Thousand Women's Moon Order" said: "When you are frightened, take a lime bowl outside the threshold to get rid of insects and ants." Lime has the function of killing insects. On the day of electric shock, it was scattered outside the threshold, thinking that insects and ants would not dare to come to the door within one year. It's the same as they shake their clothes when they hear thunder. They all give insects a scare when they are stung, hoping that pests will not bother themselves.

Express anger

Many people deify "beating villains". In fact, this is purely a folk custom. The purpose of beating villains is to drive away the villains around you and vent their inner dissatisfaction by patting the paper dolls representing their opponents. Most people beat villains, with the general purpose of seeking all the best in the New Year. When villains engage in earthquakes, their targets are mainly mistresses and "golden fingers" at work. The purpose of beating a villain is to hope that the villain will retreat and express his inner grievances.
