Sting reflects the phenomenon that natural creatures germinate and grow under the influence of rhythm changes. Frightened solar terms, the temperature is warming up, everything is full of vitality, and nature has a new vitality.
Scared story?
Story 1:
There is a folk custom of "eating pears in surprise". There is no trace of when pears were eaten, but there is such a story circulating among the people in Qixian County.
According to legend, Qu Ji, a well-known Shanxi merchant at sea, is the eldest son of Shangdang County. In the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, he took his two sons, Xin and Yi, and exchanged coarse cloth and red dates with Dang and pears in Qixian for profit. Over time, he had savings and settled down in Qixian County.
During the Yongzheng period, the Fourteenth Canal reached the west exit, which was the day of surprise attack. His father took out pears for him to eat. He said that his ancestors sold pears to start a business and settled in Qixian after hardships. Today, you went to the west exit in surprise. Eating pears is to make you not forget your ancestors, work hard to start a business and honor your ancestors.
Qu Baichuan went west to become rich in business and named the shop name "Changyuan Hou". Later, westerners followed suit and ate pears, mostly with the intention of "leaving home to start a business". Later, they were shocked and ate pears, and they also had the idea of "trying to honor their ancestors."
Story 2:
In southern China, especially in Guangdong, it is an important activity with distinctive features to offer sacrifices to white tigers. In ancient times, productivity was backward, and people were more afraid and awed by tigers.
Stories and legends of offering sacrifices to white tigers;
The sound of spring thunder woke the sleeping white tiger on the mountain. It bends back and forth, stretches the two channels of Ren Du, swings from side to side, and moves the liver and gallbladder meridians. After the activity, it felt that there was nothing in its stomach, so it went straight to the village at the foot of the mountain, ready to go into the village for food. Suddenly, many white tigers with fangs appeared in the village, talking to the villagers.
Although I can't hear what it is, I can see the villagers nodding to the white tiger frequently. The white tiger was frightened and thought: how can the villagers become friends with the tiger when they wake up? It seems that villagers can't be provoked. If they are provoked, the white tiger in the village will eat me.
Look carefully, every white tiger's mouth is full of blood, and his chin is still dripping blood. I wonder to myself: if I go out now, I will be laughed at by these stuffed tigers. People are full of blood, and I am still hungry here. It's really a great shame. I can't afford to lose this "tiger"
Then he turned back to the mountain and went back to sleep, no longer harming the people. When people saw the white tiger go down the mountain, they were very scared. They dare not talk nonsense, nor dare they talk nonsense, so as not to anger the tiger and suffer the consequences. After the tiger left, the villagers met each other like guests, with little right and wrong, and their lives were happy. The custom of offering sacrifices to white tigers began to spread on the day of fright.
? The source of fear
Sting is the third of the 24 solar terms. On March 5th, this year, when the sun reached 345 degrees, it was "shock". Sting means that when the weather gets warmer, the spring thunder begins to sound, awakening the insects that are dormant and hibernating underground. Sting means hiding. "Twenty-four solar terms" said: "February Festival, everything vibrates, and when it vibrates, it thunders, so it is called thunder. It's an escaped cockroach. Tao Yuanming, a poet in the Jin Dynasty, said in a poem: "In the spring rain, thunder began in the east corner, and everyone was lurking, and everything was suitable. "In fact, insects can't hear thunder. Spring is back, and the warmer weather is the reason why they end their hibernation and "run away in surprise".
In ancient China, the fright was divided into three stages: "When the peach blossoms bloom; Second, wait for the sound of Cang Geng (Huang Li); Three waiting eagles turned into pigeons. " Described as the season of peach blossom red, plum blossom white, orioles howling and swallows coming, most areas have entered spring ploughing. When all kinds of insects dormant and hibernating in the soil are awakened, eggs will begin to ovulate in winter, so it can be seen that fright is a solar term reflecting natural phenology.
Thorns and thunder are the most striking. For example, "it thundered before the earthquake, and the clouds could not open for forty-nine days." The solar term of fright is in the middle of cold and warm weather. According to the cold and warm weather, there are proverbs to predict the weather in the later period: "Cold fright, warm spring equinox" and so on. The wind with prickly knots is also used as a basis for predicting the weather in the later period. For example, "if you are afraid of the north wind, you will spend the winter from the beginning" and "if you are afraid of the south wind, you will plant seedlings later". Modern meteorological science shows that the occasional thunder before and after the "wake-up" is due to the increase of earth humidity, which leads to the rise of hot air near the surface or the strong and frequent northward movement of hot and humid air. Judging from the natural phenological process in various parts of China, due to the large span between north and south, the time when spring thunder begins to ring is different in the morning and evening. On the average for many years, thunder can be heard in southern Yunnan around the end of 1, and the first thunder day in Beijing is in late April. The saying that "thunder begins with you" only conforms to the climate law of the Yangtze River basin.
The moral of fear
Moral: As the weather gets warmer, spring thunder begins to sound.
If spring breeze brings warmth, if flowers bring beauty, if red leaves bring brilliance, if white snow brings elegance, then I send my blessing. I hope you have no surprises, only happiness!
