Jingzhe, also known as "Qizhe", is the third solar term in the twenty-four solar terms. The Big Dipper points to Ding, and the Sun reaches 345° of ecliptic longitude, which occurs on March 5-6 in the Gregorian calendar.
Jingzhe is the beginning of the Mao month in the Ganzhi calendar. Mao is the month of mid-spring. The hexagram is in the Zhen position, and all things emerge from Zhen, which is a sign of birth. There are twelve months in a year, and each month corresponds to a hexagram. The month of Mao (including the two solar terms of Jingzhe and Spring Equinox) corresponds to the hexagram of Thunder and Sky Da Zhuang. The image of the Da Zhuang hexagram is thunder in the sky, and the thunder sounds in the sky, which is very vivid. "Mao" means to emerge, and all things emerge from the ground, representing vitality; so Mao month (February) is also the month when the energy of all things bursts out, and the spring ploughing of the year begins from then on.
