The stinging solar term is coming, do you know what it means to sting the old cow to death in the head? What kind of wisdom is behind this saying?
Sting on the head, hot old cow to death is a Chinese proverb that vividly depicts the rapid rise in temperature at the beginning of spring. When the sting appears in the first half of the second lunar month, everything recovers and spring is strong, but the temperature at this time is easy to make the animals feel uncomfortable. In particular, animals such as old cows are sensitive to high temperatures and may find it unbearable. However, this proverb also hints at the other extreme, which is to sting at the end and wear a jacket in June. When the sting occurs in the late second lunar month, the summer heat will be relieved, and the temperature in June may be relatively low, and thick clothing will need to be worn to keep warm. The sting is not only a solar term, but also the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients. It reminds us that while spring brings warmth and life, sudden changes in temperature can also pose challenges for flora and fauna.
The arrival of the stinging solar term makes us pay more attention to the changes of nature and respect the laws of life. Let's share your understanding and feelings about the stinging solar term in the comment area!
