What day is Jingzhe? What are the customs of Jingzhe?
Jingzhe is one of the 24 solar terms. After Jingzhe, all things come back to life and it is spring and flowers bloom. So, what day is Jingzhe? What are the customs of Jingzhe? A year's plan begins in spring, and almost every day in the first month of the lunar calendar is a festival. InkMr.com's special topic on the first month of the lunar calendar in 2019 lists these traditional Chinese festivals and festival customs for you.What day is Jingzhe?Jingzhe is the third solar term among the 24 solar terms. "Qingzhe" occurs on March 5 or 6 every year when the sun reaches 345 degrees of the ecliptic longitude. "Jing" means to wake up, and "Zhe" means to hibernate. "Jingzhe" is the awakening of animals that hibernate in the soil during the winter. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes of the Lunar Calendar" says: "In the second month...all things come out of the shock, which is thunder, so it is called Jingzhe, because hibernating insects are startled and run away.""When spring thunder sounds, all things grow." The Jingzhe season is the perfect "Nine Nines" of sunny days, with rising temperatures and more rainfall. During the Jingzhe season, in some parts of my country, peach blossoms are red, plum blossoms are white, orioles are singing, and swallows are flying. Most areas have entered the spring farming season. There is a proverb that goes: "After Jingzhe, the weather becomes warmer and the old toads sing folk songs." Therefore, the Chinese working people have always attached great importance to Jingzhe and regarded it as the day when spring ploughing begins. 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." What are the customs of Jingzhe?"Beating the villain" to drive away bad luck is quite popular in Guangdong and Hong Kong. It is usually popular on the day of Jingzhe. Beating the villain is not a curse, but another form of blessing, seeking psychological comfort. The best time to beat the villain is 7 pm on the day of Jingzhe, and it is usually done in a dark place, such as under a bridge. It is a traditional folk custom in Hong Kong to beat up paper dolls. At the "Beating Up Paper Dolls Place" at the Goose Neck Bridge in Causeway Bay, Granny Liang, who has the best business, lights incense and candles, places paper dolls on bricks, holds an old shoe in her hand, and chants, "I'll beat up your little doll head until you're left with no breath to walk..." He beat the ingots with his hands and shoes until they made loud clapping sounds, then put them into the ingot basin and burned them to ashes.Offering sacrifices to white tigers to resolve disputes <br /> The so-called offering sacrifices to white tigers refers to offering sacrifices to white tigers drawn on paper. Paper tigers are usually yellow with black stripes and a pair of fangs at the corners of their mouths. During worship, the paper tiger is fed with fat pig blood so that after it is full it will not speak ill of others. Then raw pork is smeared on the mouth of the paper tiger so that it is filled with oil and water and it cannot open its mouth to speak ill of others. Covering the Drum Skins The "Zhou Li" Volume 40 "Wai Ren" says: "Any drum must be beaten on the day of the Waking of Insects. The ancients imagined that the Thunder God was a great god with a bird's beak and a human body and wings. He held a hammer in one hand and hit the many drums around him with the other hand, making a rumbling thunder. On the day of the Waking of Insects, the Thunder God beat the drums in the heavens, and people on earth also used this opportunity to cover the drum skins. Eat pears on Jingzhe <br /> In ancient times, there were many types of organisms, and some infectious diseases did not have 100% effective medicines. Jingzhe is the day when all insects wake up, so eating pears is a reminder for everyone to be careful and take precautions. There is a folk saying in Shaanxi, Shanxi and northern Jiangsu that goes "Eat a pear during the Waking of Insects and you will be energetic all year round." On the day of Jingzhe, the whole family eats pears. In ancient times, those who traveled west also took the homonym of "li", which often meant "leaving home to start a business". Later, people in Shanxi ate pears on the Jingzhe day, with the idea of "working hard to honor their ancestors." Fortune is related to a person's life, property and other aspects.
