Scare and tingling (March 5-7)

Brief introduction to the solar terms of fright

Jěng zhé is the third of the 24 solar terms. On March 5 or 6 every year, when the sun reaches 345 degrees, it is a surprise.

It's shocking. 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. "Twenty-four solar terms" said: "February Festival, everything vibrates, and when it vibrates, it thunders, so it is called thunder. It's an escaped cockroach. Tao Yuanming, a poet in the Jin Dynasty, said in a poem: "In the spring rain, thunder began in the east corner, and everyone was lurking, and everything was suitable. "In fact, insects can't hear thunder. Spring is back, and the warmer weather is the reason why they end their hibernation and "run away in surprise".

In China, the time when the spring thunder begins to ring varies from place to place. On the average for many years, thunder can be heard in southern Yunnan around the end of 1, and the first thunder day in Beijing is in late April. The saying that "thunder begins with you" is consistent with the climate law in Jiangnan.

In ancient China, the fright was divided into three stages: "When the peach blossoms bloom; Second, wait for the sound of Cang Geng (Huang Li); Three waiting eagles turned into pigeons. " Description has entered the season of mid-spring, peach blossom red, pear blossom white, orioles blare and swallows go. According to the general climate law, the weather in all parts of the country began to get warmer, with more rain, and most areas entered spring ploughing. When all kinds of insects dormant and hibernating in the soil are awakened, eggs in winter will also begin to ovulate. It can be seen that fright is a solar term reflecting natural phenology.

The vernal equinox is the midpoint of 90 days in spring. One of the 24 solar terms, around March 20 of the Gregorian calendar every year, when the sun is located at 0 (vernal equinox) of the yellow meridian. On the vernal equinox, the sun shines directly at the equator of the earth, and the seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres are opposite. The northern hemisphere is the vernal equinox and the southern hemisphere is the autumnal equinox. The vernal equinox is a new year in Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and other countries, with a history of 3,000 years.

Twenty-four solar terms: "in mid-February, half a minute, that is, half of 90 days, so it is called minutes." Autumn is synonymous. " "Spring and Autumn Stories Yin and Yang in and out" said: "The vernal equinox, Yin and Yang are also half-phase, so it is cold and summer day and night."

The vernal equinox is also a festival and ritual celebration. The ancient emperors had a system of offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and the moon in autumn. The ritual of the Zhou Dynasty was to offer sacrifices on the altar.

Book of Rites: "Altar." Ying Da Shu by Confucius: "Also called vernal equinox". In the Qing Dynasty, Pan Rongbi wrote "Ji Sheng at the age of Emperor Jingdi": "The vernal equinox and autumn are divided into national gifts, and scholars should not worship them.

And write a blessing on the kite, hoping that the gods in the sky can see it. (2) Drinking with flowers: men, women and children wear flowers.
