There was a rain of flowers, and several thunders. March 5 ushered in the stinging solar term, and the weather began to warm.
The ancients explained the sting in this way: "Everything is out of the earthquake, and the earthquake is thunder, so it is called 'sting', which is the stinging insect and runs away in shock." Previously, animals were hidden in the soil in winter, not drinking or eating, which was "stinging"; In the middle of spring, the spring thunder in the sky wakes up the dormant animals, which is called "shock".
It was not only the stinging insects that woke up, but also the peasants of the land. A light rain and a new thunderstorm beganThe Tian family has a few days of leisure, and farming has started from here. "A poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Wei Yingwu "Guantianjia" describes the busy scene of farming when it was stunned. At this time, the wheat will return to green, get up, and jointed one after another, which is the critical period for wheat field management in many places.
When it comes to the stinging festival, the hoe does not stop", "the spring thunder is stunning, and the farmer is busy", "the sting does not rake the ground, it is like steaming buns and running away" ......The folk proverb of production bears witness to the natural connection between farmers and the land. In Shandong, the "old master" of farming strives to be a "new farmer", using Beidou satellites, unmanned agricultural machinery, etc.; Combined operation machinery, advanced plant protection machinery, intelligent agricultural machinery, etc., planted the hope of the warehouse in the spring.
Throughout the ages, the stinging thunder has been regarded by farmers as an important reference for meteorological changes and agricultural harvests. The folk proverb "thunder before the sting, the clouds will not open for 49 days" and "before the thunder will sound before the sting, there will be 45 days of cloud", revealing that the thunder is heard before the sting, and the rain in the future is often too much. "Cold sting, warm spring equinox", "stinging north wind, from the beginning of the winter", "stinging blowing south wind, seedlings planting late", etc., then through the temperature, wind direction to the best weather.
On the day of stinging, farmers in many places in Shandong will light incense, wormwood, etc., and smoke the four corners of the house to drive away mosquitoes, insects, snakes and rats with their smell. Sometimes, pancakes are cooked on a stove in the yard, which means that they smoke and burn and get rid of pests.
When everything is recovering, a new spring breaks through the ground in a thunderstorm.
