The origin of the twenty-four solar terms

The origin of the twenty-four solar terms: when winter comes, many animals hide and hibernate, which is called sting, and then come out and return the next spring, which is called sting. When spring returns to the earth, the thunder is getting louder and louder. In the past, people thought that animals might wake up from hibernation because they were awakened by thunder. So there is a saying that it is amazing.

Sting reflects the phenomenon that natural creatures germinate and grow under the influence of rhythm changes. Spring thunder began to ring, the temperature rose, insects sprouted, the ninth year passed, peach blossoms blossomed, and spring ploughing could not rest. Phenology: Peach-red Li Bai, warblers singing and swallows coming, and cuckoos urging cultivation. Stunned things germinate and bacteria breed, which can easily cause colds, fever and liver diseases. Health care needs to pay attention to prevent spring flu, nourish the liver and spleen with a light diet, eat more vegetables to clear the stomach, go to bed early and get up early and exercise more.

In the season of fright, spring is budding, and nature has a new vitality. The so-called spring thunder stung people, which means that the spring thunder began to ring when it stung people, awakening the stinging insects that were dormant underground for the winter. The symbolic feature of the shocking solar terms is that spring thunder suddenly moves and everything is full of vitality. According to the natural phenology and climate process in various parts of China, the first thunder of the sting only coincides with the natural rhythm in some parts of southern China.
