The sting is the third of the twenty-four solar terms and the beginning of mid-spring. Tao Qian has a poem: "When the rain falls in mid-spring, the first thunder starts in the east corner", accompanied by a burst of spring thunder, after experiencing the ignorance of early spring, in the middle of spring, this spring meaning is gradually thickened.
Insects hide in the winter soil, do not drink or eat, called "sting"; the spring thunder in the sky awakens the animals that live in the sting, called "shock"; therefore, in the sting season, the weather warms up, and the spring thunder begins to sound, waking up the insects that hibernate underground. According to the scientific document "Xia Xiaozheng", it is recorded that "the first moon is stung, and the words are stung." All things are shocked, and the earthquake is thunder, so it is said that the sting, the sting worm frightened and fled. In fact, insects can't hear the thunder, the earth springs back, and the warming weather is the reason why they end hibernation and "go out of the way". Since ancient times, the working people of China have attached great importance to the sting of the festival, regarding it as the beginning of spring ploughing.
Sting, the third of the twenty-four solar terms, marks the beginning of the mid-spring season; the sun reaches 345° Ecliptic longitude. "The Seventy-Two Waiting Episodes of the Moon Order": "The February Festival... All things are shocked, and the earthquake is thunder, so it is known that the sting is stung, and it is the sting that frightens and leaves. "On March 5, 2022, we will have this year's sting.
The sting is in early March, when spring blossoms, birds sing, and everything on earth recovers. The climate of this time period has three characteristics: the weather is accelerating and warming, and the spring light is infinite everywhere. In the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the harmonious spring breeze gradually blows green on both sides of the Yangtze River. In the northern region, spring is cold and steep, and some high mountainous areas occasionally have snow to welcome spring. Thunder announces spring and predicts a bumper harvest. Spring thunder rings out, and it is the product of convection of cold and warm air. Farmer friends use the time of the first thunder of spring to judge the harvest of the coming year. The south is "low temperature and rainy", and the north is "dry and dry". Therefore, the temperature rises and falls during the sting season, and everyone must pay attention to the timely increase or decrease of clothing to prevent spring colds.
