Jingzhe is the third solar term of the year. The arrival of Jingzhe proves that spring is coming. It means that the weather is getting warmer, the spring thunder starts to sound, and the insects and birds are waking up. So it's called Jingzhe. The rain became more and more before and after the hibernation, but it was still warm and cold at first.
Brief introduction of Jing Zhen
Jingzhe is the third of the 24 solar terms.
"The moon 72: February Festival & hellip; & hellip; all things come from the earthquake, which is thunder. So it's called" Jingzhe ". It's Jingchong who leaves.
At this time, when the weather turns warm, there is spring thunder gradually. The animals hide in the soil in winter, do not drink or eat, which is called the day when the dormant animals are awakened by thunder. Tang Yuanzhen's "fragrant tree" poem: Spring Thunder sends a sound, startles the swallow as well as the snake.
Phenological characteristics
Oriole;
In ancient times, Jingzhe was divided into three princes: 'taoshihua, canggengming, and Yinghua. '
Yihou: taoshihua
It refers to the day when the insects start to sting, when the willows are green and the leaves are fresh, and when the peach blossom starts to bloom on the moon, it is not too late to see the spring of the apricot branches. The peach is young and scorching.
Second Marquis: Cang Gengming
Canggeng is a oriole, singing happily to celebrate the spring.
Three Marquis: Eagle turns into dove
The dove is a cuckoo. In the middle of spring, the eagle's beak is still soft. It can't catch birds. Its eyes are wide open and hungry. It becomes a dove. The eagle turns into a dove in spring. Because of the strong sense of fertility and killing, the birds of prey have changed their ears. In autumn, the dove turns into an eagle. "King system" said that the dove turned into an eagle, also in autumn.
This solar term is of great significance in busy farming. Since ancient times, the working people of our country have attached great importance to the solar term of hibernation, which is regarded as the beginning of spring ploughing. There is a cloud in the Tang Poetry: the drizzle brings new flowers, and a thunderbolt starts to sting. The farmhouse was idle for a few days, and farming began from then on. Agricultural proverb also said: after the hibernation Festival, spring farming can not rest, nine do poplar blossom, agricultural work together.
Folk custom
Sacrifice white tiger to resolve right and wrong
Sacrifice to white tiger;
According to Chinese folklore, white tiger is the God of tongue and right and wrong. Every year, it will come out to look for food and eat people. In this year, it is often attacked by evil villains, which will block your future development and cause all kinds of troubles. In order to protect themselves, we sacrificed the white tiger on the day of hibernation. The so-called sacrifice to the white tiger refers to the sacrifice to the white tiger drawn with paper. The paper tiger is generally yellow and black with a pair of tusks painted on its mouth. When worshiping, we need to feed it with fat pig blood so that it won't hurt people when it's full. Then we can put raw pork on the paper tiger's mouth to make it full of oil and water. We can't say whether people are right or wrong.
Beat a villain
Hit the villain;
According to the folk saying, on the day of Jingzhe, all things are awakened by Chunlei, and the little people around will come out to have activities and hurt people. In order to avoid its harm, according to the tradition, the day of Jingzhe also "beat villains". So every year, there is an interesting scene on the day of hibernation: the woman slaps the paper doll with wooden slippers, and reads in her mouth: "beat your little head, until you are angry or trembling, until you are nauseous in the field.". Many people deify beating villains. In fact, it's just a folk custom. Beating villains is intended to drive away the villain plague around them and vent their inner dissatisfaction by beating the paper dolls representing the opposite person. Most people beat villains with the general purpose of seeking everything in the new year, not a malicious curse.
Eating Pyrus
There is a custom in the folk to eat pears. When did Jingzhe eat pear come from? There is no trace to find. However, there is such a story handed down from generation to generation in Qixian. It's said that Qu Ji, the forefather of the well-known Jin Merchants in China, was born in the county of Shangdang. In the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, he took Xin and Yi's two sons and exchanged Lu Ma and Li of Shangdang for coarse cloth and red dates of Qixian. He made a profit between the two places. He had accumulated for a long time and settled down in Qixian city. In Yongzheng's reign, the fourteenth Qu Baichuan went to the West. It was the day of Jingzhe. His father took out pears and asked him to eat them. He said that his ancestors sold pears and started their own business. After many hardships, they settled down in Qixian County. Today, Jingzhe wants to go to the West. Eating pears is to help you not forget your ancestors and strive to start a business. Qubaichuan goes to the west to do business and become rich. The name of the shop will be changyuanhou. Later, people in Xikou followed the example of eating pears. Most of them wanted to leave home and start their own business. Later, they also ate pears in Jingzhe day. They also wanted to honor their ancestors.
There are several other ways of saying that jellyfish eat pears:
1. It's because of the solar term of "Jingzhe". In the season of hibernation, it is still cold at first. In addition to keeping warm and cold, it is easy for the population to dry their tongue and cough due to the dry climate. Therefore, people have a custom of eating pears, which can be eaten raw, steamed, juiced, roasted or boiled. At this time, drinking, eating and living should be in accordance with the nature of the liver, eating pears to help temper, make the five viscera peaceful, and enhance the constitution to resist the invasion of pathogens.
2. In ancient times, there were many biological categories, and some infectious diseases did not have 100% specific medicine. On the day of Jingzhe, when ten thousand insects woke up, eating pears was to remind everyone to be careful and prevent.
3. There is a popular saying in Northern Jiangsu and Shanxi that "Jingzhe has eaten pears and has spirit for a year!". It is also said that pears are homophonic. It is said that eating pears can keep insects away from crops and ensure a good harvest throughout the year. On this day, the whole family will eat pears.
Live with fear
Diet is light;
"Huangdi Neijing" said: spring March, this is known as hair Chen. Heaven and earth are born, everything is proud. Lie in the night and walk early, walk widely in the court, cover your hair and walk slowly, so as to make your mind. It means that in spring, everything recovers. You should go to bed late and get up early, walk slowly, which can make your mind happy and your body healthy. This summarizes the basic points of the health care of Jingzhe in daily life.
The weather of jellyfish is obviously warming, the diet should be clear and mild, and more fresh vegetables and protein rich foods, such as asparagus, spinach, celery, chicken, egg, milk, etc., should be eaten to strengthen the physique and resist the invasion of pathogens. During the season of hibernation, the weather is relatively dry, which makes the population dry, dry and cough. Raw pear is cold and sweet. It has the effect of moistening the lung and relieving cough, nourishing yin and clearing heat. People have the custom of eating pears with jellyfish.
