During the Jingzhe season, spring begins to emerge and nature becomes full of new vitality. The saying "Spring thunder scares away all insects" means that during the Jingzhe season, spring thunder begins to sound, awakening the hibernating insects underground. The hallmark feature of the Jingzhe solar term is the sudden sound of spring thunder and the vitality of all things.

Introduction to the historical origin of the Jingzhe solar term

The 24 solar terms were originally formulated based on the "movement of stars". The Big Dipper rotates in a circle, and this movement of stars is closely related to the changes in natural rhythms. The current system of determining the solar terms is based on the sun's ecliptic longitude, that is, a 360-degree circle called the "ecliptic" is divided into 24 equal parts, one part every 15°, with the vernal equinox as the starting point of 0 degrees, and arranged according to the ecliptic longitude. The Waking of Insects reflects the phenomenon that natural organisms sprout and grow due to changes in rhythm.
Dai De of the Western Han Dynasty said in "Da Dai Li Ji·Xia Xiaozheng": "The first month of the year is the beginning of hibernation." All things come from Zhen, and Zhen represents thunder, so it is called Jingzhe. The hibernating insects were frightened and fled. In the Yuan Dynasty, Wu Cheng's "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" said: "In the second month...all things come out of the shock, which is thunder, so it is called the Waking of Insects. The hibernating insects are frightened and run away." In "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" it says: "In the second month, all things come out of the shock, which is thunder, so it is called the Waking of Insects. The hibernating insects are frightened and run away." In fact, insects cannot hear thunder. It is the spring coming back to life and the warming weather that make them end their hibernation and "run away in fright."
The time when spring thunder begins to sound varies from place to place in China, but the saying "the thunder begins at the Waking of Insects" is consistent with the climate patterns in the areas south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
