What does the thorn on the calendar mean?

We may all know the word "sting", but we haven't fully understood the meaning of sting, and we don't know what kind of phenomenon there is when sting. Let's get to know it now.

Sting is the third of the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar. It was originally called "Qi Zhe" in ancient times, but in the Western Han Dynasty, in order to avoid the taboo of Han Jing Emperor Liu Qi, it was renamed Jingzhe, and it has been quoted ever since. The solar term of fright usually begins on March 5 or March 6 of the solar calendar every year, when the sun reaches 345 degrees of the yellow meridian.

It means that when the weather gets warmer, the spring thunder begins to sound, awakening snakes, insects, mice and ants who are dormant in the ground for the winter. Sting means hiding. In fact, insects can't hear thunder. Spring is back, and the rhythm of nature is the reason why all kinds of stinging insects feel it and start to stir. In the scary season, spring thunder suddenly moves, the rain increases, the temperature rises, and everything is full of vitality. It is a good time for everything to grow, and this crop can be planted. Sting is a good season for farming. With the temperature rising and sunshine increasing, all parts of China gradually enter the spring ploughing season from south to north.

Sting reflects natural creatures, which germinate and grow because of the influence of rhythm changes. Farming production is closely related to the rhythm of nature, and the shocking solar terms are of great significance in farming. Since ancient times, the working people in our country have attached great importance to this solar term and regarded it as the beginning season of spring ploughing.
