Animal representatives: Insects Plant representatives: Pears The weather is dry in spring, and pears have the effect of removing dryness and moisturizing the lungs. People believe that during the Waking of Insects, you should eat more pears, or drink pear soup, etc., which means "eating pears will eliminate all diseases."
There is also a saying that the word "pear" is homophonic to the word "li". Eating pears during the Waking of Insects can keep pests away from crops and ensure a good harvest throughout the year.
Another characteristic of Jingzhe is the appearance of spring thunder.
The ancients had difficulty explaining this phenomenon, so they believed that there was a "Thunder God" in the sky. He held a hammer in one hand and hit the drum beside him with the other hand, making a rumble of thunder.
Therefore, in the human world, we have to hide our drum skin and beat the drum in response.
Spring thunder also awakens dormant animals.
In the past, sanitary conditions were relatively poor, and crawlers, ants, etc. were likely to appear in many people's homes.
In ancient times, on the day of the Waking of Insects, people would smoke mugwort and other substances in the corners of their homes to drive away harmful insects and remove the musty smell.
From a dietary perspective, you can eat a lighter diet during the Waking of Insects, and eat more foods rich in plant protein and vitamins, such as spinach, aloe vera, celery, rape, yam, lotus seeds, etc.
Extended information: The importance of the Jingzhe solar term is of great significance in the busy farming season.
The working people of our country have attached great importance to the Jingzhe solar term since ancient times and regard it as the day when spring plowing begins.
There is a poem in the Tang Dynasty that says: "A light rain brings new flowers, and a thunder starts to wake up the Insects. The fields are free for a few days, and farming begins." Farmers' proverbs also say: "After the Jingzhe Festival, spring plowing cannot stop", "Nine poplars are in bloom, and farm work begins.
Come. "Winter wheat in North China has begun to turn green and grow, and the soil is still freezing and thawing alternately. Timely harrowing is an important measure to reduce water evaporation.
"If you don't rake the ground when you wake up, it's like steaming steamed buns that have run out of steam." This is a valuable experience of the local people in preventing drought and preserving moisture.
Along the Yangtze River and south of the Yangtze River, wheat ears have begun to joint, and rapeseed has begun to bloom. It has high requirements for water and fertilizer, so top dressing should be done in a timely manner. In areas with drought and little rain, appropriate watering and irrigation should be done.
Rainwater in the south can generally meet the spring growth needs of vegetables, wheat and green manure crops, but preventing moisture damage is the most important.
As the saying goes: "Managing the three intersections of wheat ditches is like pouring manure", "If you want to harvest rapeseed, you must manage the ditches diligently".
We must continue to do a good job in clearing ditches and draining water.
Early rice sowing in South China should be carried out as soon as possible, and at the same time, work should be done to protect the rice fields from cold.
As the temperature rises, tea trees gradually begin to sprout. They should be pruned and topdressed with "germination fertilizer" in a timely manner to promote more branches and leaves and increase tea yield.
Peach, pear, apple and other fruit trees should be fertilized before flowering.
