Phenology
In ancient times, the sting was divided into three seasons: one waited for tao Shihua, the second waited for Cang Gengming, and the third waited for the eagle to turn into a dove.
Tao Shi Hua 丨 Peach's death, burning its glory, is the beginning of spring.
Cang Gengming 丨 Huang Li first felt the breath of spring and sun, hissed hiss, and asked for his friends.
The eagle is transformed into a dove, a dove, a dove, that is, a cuckoo of today, the so-called "eagle into a dove", refers to the "Chapter Turtle Sutra": In the middle of spring, the forest is luxuriant, the mouth is still soft, can not catch birds, the eyes are hungry and obsessed, so the name is called the dove.

Customs
Sprinkle lime all over to avoid insects
Farmer's proverb: "Killing one insect in spring is better than killing a thousand in summer." Sun Simiao, a famous doctor of the Tang Dynasty, said in the "Order of the Thousand Golden Moons": "On the day of stinging, take the lime grits outside the threshold, but there are no insects and ants." "Lime originally had the effect of killing insects, and on the day of the sting, sprinkled outside the threshold, everyone thought that the insects and ants did not dare to come to the door for a year.
Sauté soybeans
On the day of the sting, Gansu, Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Shandong and other places, people put soybeans, sesame seeds and the like in the pot and stir-fry, crackling, called "popping dragon's eye", asking for wind and rain to be smooth, and then men and women and children compete for fried soybeans to eat, which means that people and animals are disease-free and the crops are harmless.
Eat pears
In Beijing, Shanxi and other places, it is popular to sting and eat pears, which means to separate from pests.
Poetry
Moonlight
【Don · Liu Fangping】
Darker moonlight half-family,
The Big Dipper is dry and the south dipper is oblique.
Tonight I know that the spring is warm,
Insect sounds new through the green window screen.
Smell the thunder
【Don · Bai Juyi】
The miasma wind and frost are early, and the warm weather is urgent.
Poor winter does not see snow, the first month has smelled thunder.
The stinging insect snake came out, and the dead grass and trees opened.
The empty passengers are square inches, still like cold ash.
Municipal drinks
【Song · Land Tour】
There is nothing to learn, and the yin and the demons are subdued.
Spring thunder stings the household, sea and sun bath whale waves.
Da Yong won a complete victory, and the spirit attacked Taihe.
Why not audit the market, take the wine and sing alone.
"Who on the banks of the river first saw the moon?" When did Jiang Yue shine at the beginning of the year? ”
It's a romantic feeling
"When is youth? Yellow birds singing endlessly"
It's a melody that stings and squirms
"Old farming in the new village, red rain and green coat"
It is the ritual of stinging unchanging
"Xu Xin is early in the spring this spring, and Jiangxiang has a running thunder at the beginning of the year"
It is a good wish to sting
Spring thunder, all things grow
All the dormant beauty is waking up
Spring melts the grass and the warblers fly
Farmers start farming, teenagers start learning
New beauty, new hope
