It is the third of the 24 solar terms, which usually falls on March 5-6 of the Gregorian calendar. "The Seventy-two Candidate Explanations of the Lunar Order" said: "On the February Festival, everything was shocked, and the earthquake was thunder, so it was called a sting. It was the stinging insect that ran away in shock. ”Tao Yuanming has a poem that says: "When the spring rains, the thunder begins to send to the east, the stingers are terrifying, and the grass and trees are vertical and horizontal." ”From here, it can be seen that the sting reflects the state of germination and growth of organisms in nature affected by rhythmic changes.
In the 24 solar terms, it can be said to be a very important solar term, so there are also many customs, so let's take you to understand the specific meaning of the sentence "5 taboos, a smooth year".

Two waiting for Cang Gengming
"Canggeng" is the name of the ancients for the yellow oriole bird, and "cang" has the meaning of clean and clean here; "Geng" has the meaning of renewal. In other words, during the second 5 days of the solar term, the oriole will feel the breath of spring and begin to chirp.
Three migratory eagles turned into doves
Eagle "bird" also, the "change" in this sentence is the meaning of changing back to the old form, at this time the eagle turns into a dove, and in autumn the dove turns into an eagle. The ancients believed that the eagle was in the annual.
In February and March, they flew back to the north to breed, but there was no trace, and only the turtle dove flew out at this time.

Don't stay in bed
The Yellow Emperor's Neijing records: "Spring and March, this is called Chen, heaven and earth are born, and all things are tolerated; Lie down at night and get up early, walk in the court, so as to live ambition", the meaning of this passage is that after the sting, the temperature rises, everything recovers, it is best to get up early to prepare for spring, so that you can make your own smooth in the new year.
