The child Mo Xiao is a Chen person, and the lake and sea spring are rejuvenated. Thunder and wind stung the household, and the world opened up and turned into a huge junk. The scales of the river rise to the stone, and the willow silk shakes the koji dust. I wanted to go to Lan Ting but returned to the pavilion, laughing and talking about it and finally feeling ashamed of innocence.

The sting is the third of the twenty-four solar terms and is a sign of the beginning of mid-spring. From March 05 to March 06 of the Gregorian calendar, the sun reaches the intersection of 345° ecliptic longitude. Like Qingming, Xiaoman, and Mangzi, it is a solar term that reacts to phenology.
Originally called "QiJing" in ancient times, in the Western Han Dynasty, in order to avoid the name of Liu Qi, the Emperor of Han Jing, he changed his name to Qijing, and it is still used today. The ancient book "The Seventy-two Waiting Solutions of the Moon Order" records: "On the February Festival, all things were shocked, and the earthquake was thunder, so it was stung." It was the stinging that flew away. It can be seen that the ancients believed that this time was the time when the insects began to move after they ended their staying. Hence the name Sting (启肑).

The same is true during the sting season. When the average temperature in the north is still hovering around 0 °C, the South Of the Yangtze River Basin has risen to about 8 °C, while the southwest and south China regions have reached 12 °C, which has long been a spring and warm blossoming weather.
Industrious and wise Chinese farmers are very good at summarizing and summarizing, and in the process of long-term production and life, they have summed up a lot of valuable experience and summarized them into short and concise agricultural proverbs that are easy to pass on. For example, the sentence "Sting the north wind, from the beginning to the winter" is the sentence. This means that if the north wind whistles on this day, then you have to be careful for a while to come, and the temperature is likely to plummet, just like the second winter. This is, of course, an exaggerated rhetorical technique, but it is still necessary to do a good job of keeping warm.

Phenology, should be born of temperance. The ancients believed that five days was a season, and every three days was a solar term. On the day of the sting, the peach began to bloom, the five days of the partridge chirped, and the five days of the eagle turned into a dove. This means that when the stings arrive, the peach blossoms bloom; the partridge (yellow oriole) also feels the breath of spring and begins to chirp and court; the eagle soaring in the sky begins to quietly hide and breed its offspring; and the dove (cuckoo) that was originally hiding and hiding begins to chirp. The ancients believed that the dove (cuckoo) was changed by an eagle.

The ancients believed that on the day of the sting, the Lei Gong would hold a wedge in his left hand and a cone in his right hand, and beat several heavenly drums suspended around him in a row. The sound emitted turned into a rumbling thunder. Then the human world should also conform to the heavens, and take advantage of this time to give the drums a drum skin to show respect for the god of thunder. There is also a saying that the purpose of the sting is to pray for the new year, the evil will retreat, and everything will be lucky.
