Common sense of life: What does shock mean? Introduction to shocking customs.

Being stung is the third of the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar. In ancient times, it was called "being stung", which marked the beginning of mid-spring season. At this time, the sun reached 345 degrees, the weather turned warmer, and there was a spring thunder gradually. Animals hide in the soil in winter and don't drink or eat, which is called "being stung", and "being stung" is the day when God wakes the trapped animals with thunder. At this time, most parts of China have entered the spring ploughing season.

Frightening solar terms are of great significance in busy farming. 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. There is a saying in Tang poetry: "A light rain brings new flowers, and a thunder begins." Tian Jia had a few days off, so he began to farm. Agricultural proverbs also say, "Spring ploughing can't rest, after the Scare Festival", "Do your best to raise bloom, and farm work will come together." Winter wheat in North China began to turn green, and the soil was still frozen and thawed alternately. Raking the ground in time is an important measure to reduce water evaporation. "Shocking without harrowing is like steaming steamed bread", which is a valuable experience for local people to fight drought and conserve moisture.
