What festival is the shockproof mat?

Sting is one of the 24 solar terms.

Therefore, insects wake up when they are startled, the weather gets warmer, and there are spring thunder gradually, so most areas of China enter the spring ploughing season.

In most areas, the average temperature of scary solar terms is generally 12℃ to 14℃, which is more than 3℃ higher than rainy solar 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.

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. The farmer's proverb says, "Spring ploughing can't rest, and the Frightening Festival is over." "Nine years later, Yang bloom came to do farm work together."
