What are the main characteristics of the solar terms of fright?

In the season of fright, spring is budding, and nature has a new vitality. The so-called "spring thunder" means that when the spring thunder begins to sound, it wakes up the stinging insects that are dormant in the ground for the winter. The symbolic feature of the shocking solar terms is that spring thunder suddenly moves and everything is full of vitality. Judging from the natural phenology and climate process in various parts of China, "the beginning of thunder" only coincides with the natural rhythm in some parts of southern China.

Sting reflects the phenomenon that natural creatures germinate and grow under the influence of rhythm changes. Spring thunder first sounded, the temperature rose, insects sprouted and the Ninth Five-Year Plan was exhausted. "Peach blossoms are blooming, and spring ploughing cannot 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.

There is a custom of eating pears in surprise. This is because the weather is obviously warmer after the sting, and people are prone to dry mouth and cough due to exogenous factors. Pear is cold and sweet, and has the effects of moistening lung, relieving cough, nourishing yin and clearing heat. Eating pears is very nutritious for your health. In the folk, there is a custom of beating villains and taking bad luck on the day of shock. Everything is shocked, and the world is thunderous. People pray for a better life and look forward to a happy future. This is the custom of "beating a villain".
