Jingzhe is the third of the 24 solar terms. This solar term may be relatively niche and not many people know about it, so let me introduce to you what the Jingzhe solar term is. For more details about the 2019 New Year and the first month of the lunar calendar, please visit Mr. Shuimo’s website for consultation!What does “Qingzhe” mean?Jingzhe means that the weather starts to warm up and spring thunder begins to sound, awakening the insects hibernating underground. Zhe means to hide. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" says: "In the second month, all things come out of the thunder, so it is called the Waking of Insects. The hibernating insects are startled and run away." Tao Yuanming, a poet in the Jin Dynasty, wrote a poem: "The spring rain comes soon, and the thunder starts to sound in the east. All the hibernating insects are frightened, and the grass and trees grow tall." In fact, insects cannot hear thunder. It is the coming of spring and the warming weather that make them end their hibernation and "run away in fright."What is the meaning of the Jingzhe solar term?One of the 24 solar terms. On March 5, 6 or 7 in the Gregorian calendar. At this time, the temperature rises, the land thaws, spring thunder begins to sound, and animals that have been dormant in the winter are startled and become active, hence the name. "Book of Zhou·Months" records: "In the third month of spring, the middle solar term is Jingzhe, Spring Equinox and Qingming." Wei Yingwu's poem "Farmer" in the Tang Dynasty: "A light rain makes all flowers new, and a thunder marks the beginning of Jingzhe." Su Che's poem "Visiting Jingren East Garden" in the Song Dynasty: "Just after Jingzhe in the new spring, the plants and trees are still unknown." "Liberation Daily" 1980.3.7: "Agricultural proverb says: 'Jingzhe wheat grows straight', 'Jingzhe, snakes, insects and centipedes start to eat'. When the Jingzhe solar term comes, the earth warms up, the three wheat plants grow, the peach trees sprout, the weeds turn green, the insects wake up and start to eat, and thunder and frogs begin to croak." What are the three signs of Jingzhe? The first sign is the beginning of peach blossoms: the so-called peach blossoms refer to the day of Jingzhe, when peach blossoms begin to bloom. The peach blossoms are young and bright, and it is the beginning of spring. The red peach blossoms are tender, the green willow leaves are new, and the flowing peach blossoms attract people with all kinds of charm. The second sign is the singing of the oriole: Canggeng is the oriole. The so-called "singing of the oriole" refers to the fact that five days after the Waking of Insects, the oriole is the first to feel the spring sun and start singing, seeking friends. Cang means green, Qing means clear and Geng means renewal. “When I said goodbye to the Cang family, the Cang and Geng clanged.” Therefore, literati also called it “Li Huang.” “Li Huang’s voice intermittently penetrates the trees” became a sad sound. The third sign is that the eagle turns into a dove: the eagle is a bird of prey, and the dove is the present-day cuckoo. The so-called "the eagle turns into a dove" refers to the "Zhanggui Jing" which says: In the middle of spring, the trees are lush, and the eagle's beak is still soft, so it cannot catch birds. It stares with its eyes wide open and endures hunger like a fool, and then turns into a dove, so it is called a cuckoo. This means that the eagle transforms into a dove in spring. Because the killing energy of childbirth is strong, birds of prey are affected by it and change. And in autumn, the dove turns into an eagle.Fortune includes a person's health, family fortune, power, wealth, emotions and other aspects.
