What is the February Festival in the 24 solar terms?

Sting, also called gas sting, is the third of the 24 solar terms. When the sun reaches 345 degrees, it will cross the Gregorian calendar on March 5-6. Sting reflects the phenomenon that natural creatures germinate and grow under the influence of rhythm changes.

Historical origin

Twenty-four solar terms were originally formulated on the basis of the "Big Dipper Cycle Rotation", which is closely related to the change of natural rhythm.

At present, solar terms are determined according to the degree of the ecliptic, that is, a 360-degree circle of the ecliptic is divided into 24 equal parts, each equal part is 15, and the spring is divided into 0 degrees as the starting point and arranged according to the degree of the ecliptic. Sting reflects the phenomenon that natural creatures germinate and grow under the influence of rhythm changes.
