What are the taboos and taboos of the Jingzhe solar term?

Taboo 1 of Jingzhe solar term: It is taboo to have thunder before Jingzhe day
People living in the plains have a saying: "If thunder is heard before the Waking of Insects Day, people will eat dog food." That is to say, if you hear thunder before the Waking of Insects Day, it is a sign that this year will be a bad year, with a poor harvest, people will lack food, and they will even be forced to compete with dogs for food.
Taboo 2 of Jingzhe solar term: Getting married
According to folk customs, before and after the Waking of Insects, the god of thunder often goes out to perform his duties, and thunder rumbles from time to time, so it is forbidden for people to get married during this period. Anyone who violates this rule will be punished by the God of Thunder, their marriage will not go smoothly, and their family will not be happy. Therefore, in order to avoid taboos, people generally do not go on blind dates, get engaged, or get married during this period.

What is the important meaning of the Jingzhe solar term?

In March, there are two solar terms, "Qingzhe" and "Spring Equinox". The Jingzhe solar term is of great significance during the busy farming season. Since ancient times, the working people of my country have attached great importance to the Jingzhe solar term and regarded it as the day when spring ploughing begins. A Tang Dynasty poem says: "A light rain makes all flowers green, a thunderbolt marks the beginning of the Waking of Insects. Farmers have had a few days of idleness, but now they have to start farming." As the winter wheat in North China begins to turn green and grow, the soil is still alternating between freezing and thawing. Timely harrowing is an important measure to reduce water evaporation. “If you don’t harrow the land during the Waking of Insects, it’s like steaming buns that have lost their steam.” This is the valuable experience of the local people in preventing drought and maintaining soil moisture.

What are the nicknames for Jingzhe?

This solar term was once called "Qizhe" in history. In today's Chinese character cultural circle, Japan still uses the name "Qizhe". The "Da Dai Li Ji·Xia Xiaozheng" compiled in the Western Han Dynasty said: "The first month of the year is the beginning of the hibernation period." It is said that this was because the taboo name of the sixth emperor of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing of Han, was "Qi", so in order to avoid the taboo, "Qi" was changed to "Jing" which has a similar meaning. After the Tang Dynasty, it was no longer necessary to avoid the word "Qi", and the name "Qi Zhe" was used again. However, because people were not used to it, the Dayan calendar used the word "Jing Zhe" again and it is still used today. Like China, Japan has used "Qingzhe" in its annotated calendars throughout the ages. After that, Japan also adopted the Dayan calendar and the Xuanmei calendar. The name "Qizhe" was first used in Japan during the Zhenxiang calendar reform.
