Life

However, we should follow the natural law of the rising of spring sun, make ourselves happy, strengthen our physical fitness, go to bed early and get up early.

What is the significance of Jingzhe?

The Jingzhe solar term is of great 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 makes all flowers green, a thunderbolt marks the beginning of the Waking of Insects. Farmers have had a few days' rest, but from then on they start farming." Farmer's proverbs also say: "After the Waking of Insects Festival, spring ploughing cannot stop" and "When the poplar flowers bloom in late September, it's time to start farm work." Winter wheat in North China is beginning to turn green and grow, but the soil is still alternating between freezing and thawing. Timely harrowing is an important measure to reduce water evaporation. "If you don't harrow the land during the Waking of Insects, it's like steaming buns that have lost their steam." This is the valuable experience of the local people in preventing drought and maintaining soil moisture. Wheat in the south of the Yangtze River has already started to grow, and rapeseed has begun to bloom. They have high requirements for water and fertilizer, so top dressing should be done in a timely manner. Areas with drought and little rain should be watered and irrigated appropriately. Rainfall in the south can generally meet the needs of spring growth of vegetables, wheat and green manure crops, but preventing damage from moisture is the most important thing. As the saying goes, "Digging three intersections in the wheat ditch is as good as watering with manure" and "If you want to harvest rapeseed, you must dig the ditches frequently." We must continue to do a good job of clearing ditches and draining water. The sowing of early rice in South China should be carried out as soon as possible, and at the same time, the rice fields should be well protected from the cold. As the temperature rises, the tea trees gradually begin to sprout. They should be pruned and "germination fertilizer" should be applied in time to promote more branches and leaves, thereby increasing tea production. Fruit trees such as peaches, pears, and apples should be fertilized before flowering.
