What constellation is thunder in rainy days?

Sting is the third of the 24 solar terms. "Spring thunder rings, everything grows long", which is a unique feature of the solar term of fright, meaning that the weather gets warmer and spring thunder begins to ring, awakening insects that are dormant and hibernating underground. At this time, the weather is getting warmer, and there are gradually spring thunder, and some parts of China have also entered the spring ploughing season. Whether it thunders or not is regarded as a symbolic sign related to the weather in a year. So what did you say about thunder? Is this a good sign?

Thundering just before the fright happened in the season of alternating winter and spring, and spring began to sprout. At this time, the activity of cold air was still very frequent. If it thunders before the "fright", it means that the air germinates earlier in spring, and the warm and humid airflow is very active. After the cold and warm airflow meet, it is easy to have continuous rainy weather, which is not conducive to the planting and harvest of crops. As soon as the solar term comes, farmers will be busy with spring ploughing. During this period, if the weather continues to be cold and rainy, it will be unfavorable for farmers to plough in spring. At the same time, low temperature weather will also lead to crop germination, sowing delay, natural growth cycle is affected, and the yield is definitely not high.

There are some agricultural proverbs that say "thunder first, then shock", such as "thunder first, then shock, the clouds will bloom for forty-nine days" and "thunder first, then sting, and people eat dog food". These proverbs all show that it is not good to thunder before the earthquake, which will affect the harvest of crops.

On the day of the fright, it began to thunder and rain on the day of the solar term, indicating a bumper grain harvest this year. This is because the ancients thought it should be played on Frightening Day. After all, "spring thunder rings, everything grows", and the thunder on the day of the shocking solar terms also means that this year's solar terms are on time and correct, indicating that the weather is good this year.

On this day, there are some proverbs about thunder, such as "Thunder smells like mud", when spring comes, farmers turn from leisure to busy, "When they wake up, the rain thunders and the wheat fields are like hills". These proverbs all show that thunder indicates a good year.

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".

Modern meteorological science shows that the occasional thunder before and after the "wake-up" is due to the increase of earth humidity, which leads to the rise of hot air near the surface or the strong and frequent northward movement of hot and humid air. But the phrase "Thunder begins with you" is not applicable in all parts of the country. 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.
