Which animals changed before and after the fright?

Changes of animals before and after the fright: hibernating animals wake up, and hedgehogs, squirrels, centipedes, insects, snakes, turtles, frogs, toads, lizards, bats and so on begin to come out of their holes. Some winter eggs will also start to ovulate, and flying insects will start to increase. Plants germinate, peach blossoms are red and plum blossoms are white. Birds announce spring, orioles sing and swallows come.

In most parts of southern China, the average temperature of the fright solar term is generally 12℃ to 14℃, which is more than 3℃ higher than that of the rain solar term, and it is the solar term with the fastest annual warming. The sunshine time has also increased significantly. The most striking thing is thunder and thunder, such as "thunder before thunder, clouds open for forty-nine days."

The solar term of fright is in the middle of cold and warm weather. According to the cold and warm weather, there are proverbs to predict the weather in the later period: "Cold fright, warm spring equinox" and so on. The wind with prickly knots is also used as a basis for predicting the weather in the later period. For example, "if you are afraid of the north wind, you will spend the winter from the beginning" and "if you are afraid of the south wind, you will plant seedlings later".

"Spring thunder scares thousands of insects", but the warm climate conditions are conducive to the occurrence and spread of many diseases and insect pests, and weeds in the fields sprout one after another. It is necessary to do a good job in pest control and intertillage weeding in time.

In the season of fright, spring is budding, and nature has a new vitality. The folk proverb says, "When the spring thunder rings, everything grows." "When you wake up, you wake up the hibernating insects." These are the characteristics of the shocking solar terms. Sting means that when the weather gets warmer, the spring thunder begins to sound, awakening the insects that are dormant and hibernating underground. Sting means hiding.

In fact, insects can't hear thunder. When spring comes back, the rhythm of nature is the reason why they end their hibernation and "run away in surprise". During the period of fright, all kinds of stingers feel that they have started to move. Spring thunder suddenly moves, rain increases, temperature rises, and everything is full of vitality. It is a good time for everything to grow, and this crop can be planted.
