The meaning of fear

"Quiet person" means the real arrival of spring after the quiet person. Sting is one of the twenty-four solar terms. From January to March, you will see a hot search on this word, but many people don't know much about Jingzhe solar terms. The following is what Jing Zhe means.

Being startled means 1. When the weather gets warmer, spring thunder begins to sound.

Sting is the third of the 24 solar terms. On March 5th and 6th, every year, when the sun reaches 345 degrees, it is "in a daze". Sting means that when the weather gets warmer, spring thunder begins to sound, awakening hibernating animals that are dormant 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, the east corner began to thunder, and everyone was lurking, and the vegetation was comfortable."

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 is different from morning till night. On the average for many years, thunder can be heard in southern Yunnan around the end of 1, while 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.

I was shocked that "spring thunder rings and everything grows." At this time, the temperature rises rapidly and the spring is getting stronger, especially in many areas of Guangxi. At this time, there is still cold air going south from time to time, and there may be "cold spring". Therefore, at this time, people should pay more attention to keep warm, change clothes at any time according to the weather changes, and put on shawls in the morning and evening to avoid the invasion of cold and dampness and prevent colds.

Changqing said in the poem "Surprise": "Spring comes when the willow is on, and the carp and carp in the pool are shaded early. Suddenly I heard the sound of thunder, and the animals and insects withered. " Sting like thunder on the ground, hibernating insects woke up. Reptiles and ants at home jumped up and began to stumble out of the cave and forage everywhere. After winter, eggs will begin to hatch, and pests in the fields will increase.

Therefore, in ancient times, people would hold wormwood and smoke the four corners of the house to drive away snakes, insects, mosquitoes, rats and molds with fragrance. Sun Simiao was a famous physician in the Tang Dynasty, and was honored as the "King of Medicine" by later generations. The classic ancient secret recipe "Thousand Women's Moon Order" says: "When you are afraid, you can drive out insects and ants outside the threshold of the lime jar." Lime has the effect of disinfection and disinfestation. On the day of the fright, I scattered it outside the threshold and in the yard, hoping that insects and ants would not dare to come to the door for a year and would not harass themselves.

In some areas of Shandong province, farmers burn pancakes in the yard on the day of fright, which means that smoke kills pests.

In some areas of Shaanxi, frightened people want to eat fried beans. People soak soybeans in salt water and stir-fry them in a pot, making a crackling sound, which symbolizes the jumping sound of insects when they are tortured by heat in the pot.

In Yanbei, Shanxi, farmers want to eat pears on the day of fright, which means to leave pests behind. Yao people in Jinxiu county, Guangxi, want to eat "fried insects" on the day of fright. After the "fried worms" were cooked, they were put in the hall, and the whole family sat around and ate them, shouting, "Eat fried worms, eat fried worms!" There will be a game in the fun place. Whoever eats fast and chews loudly will be congratulated for his contribution to eliminating pests.

After the shock, it is the real busy time of spring ploughing. In North China, winter wheat begins to turn green and needs to be loosened. But the wheat in Jiangnan has been jointing. In the south of the Yangtze River, we see more pieces of rape flowers to meet bees and tourists, which need to be watered and fertilized in time. Early rice will be sown in South China, and mountain tea trees in South China will begin to sprout. Green tea may have been watered before tomorrow.

What does the twenty-four solar terms mean?

Interpretation of fright: names of solar terms. Every year around March 6th in Gregorian calendar. Hibernating animals move around. There was a spring thunder.

"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 scene in which the northeast and northwest regions are still covered in white, the average temperature in most parts of China has risen above 0℃, the average daily temperature in North China is 3-6℃, the temperature in the south of the Yangtze River is above 8℃, and the temperature in Southwest and South China reaches 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, it usually doesn't thunder until Qingming, which is the latest area where thunderstorms start in most parts of southern China.

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 saying in Tang poetry: "A light rain brings new flowers, and a thunder begins." Tian Jia had a few days off, so he began to farm. Agricultural proverbs also say, "Spring ploughing can't rest after the Frightening Festival" and "Try your best to cultivate bloom and work with the farm".

"The winter wheat in North China began to turn green, and the soil was still frozen and thawed alternately. Leveling the ground in time is an important measure to reduce water evaporation. " Being in a daze without raking the ground is like steaming steamed bread. "This is a valuable experience for local people to fight 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.

Be startled means 3. The habit of being frightened.

1, sacrifice 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.

2. Drum skin

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 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 soul of all things, should adapt to the weather, so that all can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

3. "Playing the villain" 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 are so angry that you want to vomit."

"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.

4. Express your inner 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.
