When is the Jingzhe solar term?

Jingzhe is one of the 24 solar terms and the third solar term in spring.
The Jingzhe Festival falls on March 5-6 of the Gregorian calendar every year.
Jingzhe is the beginning of the Mao month in the Ganzhi calendar. Mao is the month of mid-spring. The hexagram is in the Zhen position, and all things emerge from Zhen, which is a sign of birth. There are twelve months in a year, and each month corresponds to a hexagram. The month of Mao (including the two solar terms of Jingzhe and Spring Equinox) corresponds to the hexagram of Thunder and Sky Da Zhuang. The image of the Da Zhuang hexagram is thunder in the sky, and the thunder sounds in the sky, which is very vivid. "Mao" means to emerge, and all things emerge from the ground, representing vitality; so Mao month (February) is also the month when energy bursts out, and the spring ploughing season of the year begins from then on.

What does Jingzhe mean?

Jingzhe means that the weather starts to warm up and spring thunder begins to sound, awakening the hibernating animals underground. Zhe means to hide.
The "Collection of Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" says: "In the second month, all things come out of the shock, which is thunder, so it is called Jingzhe. The hibernating insects are startled and run away."
The thunder during the Waking of Insects is the most noticeable. For example: "If there is thunder before the Waking of Insects, the clouds will not clear for forty-nine days."
The Jingzhe solar term is when the weather suddenly gets cold and warm. Proverbs that predict the later weather based on the temperature include: "Cold Jingzhe, warm Spring Equinox" etc. The wind during the Jingzhe Festival is also used as a basis for predicting the weather in the later period.
For example, "If the north wind blows during the Waking of Insects, winter will start all over again" and "If the south wind blows during the Waking of Insects, the seedlings will be planted late." Modern meteorological science shows that the reason why there are occasional thunders before and after the "Qingzhe" is that the humidity on the ground gradually increases, causing the heat near the ground to rise or the hot and humid air moving northward is stronger and more active.
