Describe the solar terms that are shocking.
"Sting" means "hiding". In winter, insects hide in the soil. "Surprise" means "wake up". Spring thunder in the sky woke up the bugs. 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. In some ancient places, people smoked the four corners of their houses with incense and wormwood to drive away "snakes, insects, mosquitoes and rats" and musty smell. Over time, it gradually evolved into the custom of shocking and beating villains to drive away bad luck. In addition, there are customs such as "covering the drum skin", "eating pears" and "offering sacrifices to white tigers to resolve right and wrong".
The symbolic feature of the shocking solar terms is that spring thunder suddenly moves and everything is full of vitality. Judging from the natural phenological process in various parts of China, due to the large span between north and south, the time when spring thunder begins to ring is different in the morning and evening. "Thunder begins with your surprise" just coincides with the natural rhythm in some parts of southern China.
