What does Jingzhe mean?

Zhe means to hide. Jingzhe refers to the sudden sound of spring thunder, which awakens the hibernating animals in the soil.
During the Waking of Insects, the Big Dipper points to Ding. The sun's ecliptic longitude is 345°. This solar term indicates that the weather will turn warmer after the "Beginning of Spring", spring thunder will begin to rumble, and various hibernating animals lying in the soil will wake up and start to move, hence the name Jingzhe. During this period, the eggs laid by insects that have hibernated will begin to hatch. Some parts of our country have entered the spring farming season. The proverb goes: "After Jingzhe, the weather becomes warmer and the old toad sings folk songs." "When the soil is plowed during Jingzhe, the earth becomes energized during the Spring Equinox." "Before Jingzhe, thunder sounds and heavy rains are like dragons."

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." Modern meteorological science shows that the reason why there are occasional thunders before and after the "Qingzhe" is that the humidity on the ground gradually increases, causing the heat near the ground to rise or the hot and humid air moving northward is stronger and more active. Judging from the natural phenological processes in various parts of my country, due to the large north-south span, the time when spring thunder begins varies. On average over the years, thunder can be heard in southern Yunnan around the end of January, while the first thunder day in Beijing is in late April. The saying that "thunder begins with the Waking of Insects" only coincides with the climate patterns along the Yangtze River basin. During the Jingzhe solar term, people should pay attention to the weather station's forecast of strong cold air activities, be careful about changes in temperature, and prevent the spread of seasonal diseases such as colds.
