What do the three signs of Jingzhe mean and what is their significance?
Many people have memorized my country's 24 solar terms since elementary school and were deeply shocked by the wisdom of the ancient Chinese working people. However, not many people know that each solar term is divided into three phases. So what do the three phases of Jingzhe mean and what is their significance? The Fortune Teller website provides you with more information related to the first month of the lunar calendar in 2018. You are welcome to learn more about it!What do the three signs of Jingzhe mean and what is their significance?The ancient Chinese divided the Jingzhe Festival into three phases:“The first sign is when peach blossoms begin to bloom; the second sign is when orioles sing; the third sign is when eagles transform into doves.” The flower corresponding to the first sign is peach blossoms, the second sign is when apricot blossoms appear, and the third sign is when roses bloom. The so-called peach blossoms begin to bloom refers to the day of Jingzhe. Peach blossoms begin to bloom in the month. The peach blossoms are young and bright, which 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. Cang Geng is the oriole. The so-called "Cang Geng Ming" refers to the day five days after the Waking of Insects when the oriole is the first to feel the spring sun and start singing to seek 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. Five days later, the eagle turned 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 its 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, hence the name "the eagle turns into a dove". 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. "The Book of Rites" says that when a dove transforms into an eagle, it is autumn. Jingzhe has a very important 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 brings new life to all flowers, a thunderbolt heralds the beginning of the Waking of Insects Festival. Farmers have had a few days of rest, but now they have to start farming." Farmer's proverbs also say: "After the Waking of Insects Festival, spring farming cannot stop" and "When the poplar flowers bloom in late September, farm work begins." |
