Introduction to Jingzhe and its origin!

Introduction to Jingzhe:
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. The Waking of Insects reflects the phenomenon that natural organisms sprout and grow due to changes in rhythm.
Origin of Jingzhe:
The origin of Jingzhe is actually related to the movement of the stars. The current solar terms are determined according to the ecliptic longitude, that is, a 360-degree circle called the "ecliptic" is divided into 24 equal parts, each 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.
The earliest appearance of Jingzhe is also called "Qizhe". In today's Chinese character cultural circle, Japan still uses the name "Qizhe". According to legend, the taboo name of the sixth emperor of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing of Han, was "Qi". In order to avoid taboo, "Qi" was changed to "Jing" which has a similar meaning. Like China, Japan has used "Qingzhe" in its annotated calendars throughout the ages. After that, Japan also adopted the Dayan calendar and the Xuanmei calendar. Therefore, the name "Qizhe" was retained in Japan.
Summary: Jingzhe is the third solar term in the 24 solar terms, and it is also the third solar term in spring. The determination of the Jingzhe solar term actually reflects that the changes in natural organisms are determined by the solar terms.
