I have never heard of thunder, but the harvest is expected to see spring ploughing, which means that we can only do it and watch it this year. If there is no thunder near the vernal equinox, the harvest will be affected by the lack of rain.

Biologists have found that insects can't hear thunder. In spring returns, it's only when the weather gets warmer that they stop hibernating. One of the twenty-four solar terms, the fright, is the first unique food festival in the countryside after the festival, and it is also the solar term of "Ninth Five-Year Plan", when the sunny east wind blows, the temperature rises and the rain increases, and the spring ploughing cattle turn over.

In ancient China, there were three stages of fright: "When the peach blooms; Second, wait for the oriole to sing; Three waiting eagles turn into doves. " Speaking of Taoshihua, I remembered the sentences in the Book of Songs. "The peach is dying, burning its brilliance." In March, the peach blossoms will bloom. If the flower can represent spring, it is peach blossom.

in mid-spring, spring is peaceful and beautiful, and there are many kinds of weather. Peach blossoms are red, pear blossoms are white, and Huang Yingming and Yan Fei are so pleasing to the eye and refreshing. According to the general climate law, the weather around the country has started to get warmer and there is more rain, and most areas have entered spring ploughing.

In my notes, patches of discerning plowshares, like wild horses splitting the earth with their manes in the soft fields in the countryside, have already sprouted green buds to respond to your greetings. The frozen soil for a winter was melted by the warmth of spring, and all kinds of insects dormant in the soil were awakened. It can be seen that the fright is a solar term reflecting natural phenology.

The historical origin of the fright

The fright was the beginning of Uzuki, the official calendar; "Mao", Mao also, everything comes out of the ground, representing vitality. Mao, the mid-spring moon, the hexagrams are in the earthquake position, and everything is out of shock, which is the image of hair growth. It is built at the age of one year and twelve months, and it corresponds to one hexagram every month. Uzuki (including the two solar terms of fright and vernal equinox) corresponds to one hexagram of thunder.

The divination of the Big Zhuang Gua means that the sky begins to thunder, and the thunder is ringing in the sky, which is very vivid. Sting marks the beginning of the mid-spring season. Spring thunder first moves, sounds and stings, and everything recovers and germinates. Sting reflects the state of germination and growth of natural organisms affected by rhythm changes.
