Today is March 5, 2024, Tuesday, the 25th day of the first lunar month.
It is the third of the 24 solar terms and the third solar term of spring. Time passed quickly, and I just felt that it was spring, but in fact, a month had passed.
It is also the beginning of mid-spring, which is between March 5 and 6 of the Gregorian calendar every year, when the sun reaches 345° of ecliptic longitude.
It reflects the phenomenon of germination and growth of natural organisms affected by rhythm changes, and is the reflection of ancient farming culture on natural seasons.
Sting: "Sting", refers to "hiding in ambush", insects into the winter hidden in the soil; "Startled" means "awakened", and the spring thunder in the sky woke up the stinging insects. The so-called "spring thunder startled insects" refers to the stinging season, the spring thunder begins to roar, waking up the stinging insects that are dormant in the ground for wintering.
In ancient times, on the day of stinging, people in some places used incense and wormwood to smoke the four corners of the house, and used the fragrance to drive away "snakes, insects, mosquitoes and mice" and musty smells. In addition, there are customs such as "covering drum skin", "eating pears", and "sacrificing white tigers to resolve right and wrong".
The characteristics of the stinging solar terms: the spring thunder is striking, and all things are recovering.
