Taboos during the Jingzhe Festival: Offering sacrifices to the White Tiger
Legend has it that the White Tiger is the god of gossip and right and wrong. Every year on the Waking of Insects Day, it will open its mouth and bite people, hindering your future development. Therefore, on the day of Jingzhe, people have the custom of offering sacrifices to the White Tiger, with the intention of resolving disputes. The so-called white tiger sacrifice refers to the worship of a white tiger drawn on paper. The paper tiger is usually yellow with black stripes, and has a pair of fangs painted on the corners of its mouth. 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.

"Qian Jin Yue Ling" said: "On the day of Jingzhe, take lime powder outside the door limit to kill insects and ants." The thunder of Jingzhe will wake up all hibernating snakes, insects, rats and ants, so during the Jingzhe period, people will use fragrance and mugwort to fumigate the four corners of their homes to drive away snakes, insects, mosquitoes, rats and mold with the fragrance. People in some places will sprinkle lime outside their doorsteps on the day of Jingzhe, hoping that pests will not bother them.

When is the Waking of Insects in 2019?

Dates of Jingzhe in 2019:
Wednesday, March 6, 2019 (the 30th day of the first lunar month in the Year of the Pig, 18 days away from the Waking of Insects in 2019)

Jingzhe, formerly known as "Qizhe", is the third solar term in the 24 solar terms, marking the beginning of mid-spring; when the sun reaches 345° of the ecliptic longitude. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes in the Lunar Calendar" states: "The second month is the season when all things emerge from the shock of thunder. Thunder is the beginning of the year, so it is called the Waking of Insects, because hibernating insects are startled and flee."
Before this, insects hibernate in the soil during the winter, without eating or drinking, which is called "hibernation"; when the "Qingzhe Festival" comes, the spring thunder in the sky awakens the hibernating animals, which is called "startling". Therefore, during the Jingzhe Festival, hibernating insects wake up, the weather turns warmer, spring thunder gradually appears, and most parts of China enter the spring farming season. In ancient times, the Waking of Insects was divided into three stages: "The first stage is the beginning of peach blossoms; the second stage is the singing of orioles; the third stage is the transformation of eagles into doves." The flower signals represented by the three stages of the Waking of Insects are: "The first stage is peach blossoms, the second stage is apricot blossoms, and the third stage is roses."
