The traditional Chinese year is divided into 24 solar terms. Awakening of Insects (惊蛰) falls on March 5 and ends on March 19 this year. Awakening of Insects signals a rise in temperature and increase of rain fall. It is the key time for spring agricultural activities. Here are 4 things you may not know about Awakening of Insects.
Spring thunder(春雷) breaks the sky
The spring thunder is the most noticeable during the Awakening of Insects. If the first spring thunder breaks before the Awakening of Insects, there will be bad weather that year. The Awakening of Insects falls after the end of winter and before the beginning of spring.
Spring ploughing(耕作)
The Awakening of Insects is an extremely important time for farmers and is widely seen as the beginning of the busiest time for farm work. During this period, most parts of China experience the quickest rise in temperature and there is a marked increase in sunshine, which provides good natural conditions for farming.
A good time for fishing
Around the Awakening of Insects, hibernating(冬眠的) animals wake up, and so do fishes. They swim from deep water to shallow(浅) water to look for food and to bear young. It is a good time for fishing. Fishing can make people feel relaxed, especially for those living in the city.
Eating pears
Eating pears around the Awakening of Insects is a widely practiced custom in China. As the weather gets warmer and the air becomes dry, people feel that their mouths are parched(干的) and tongues are dry, which can make them uncomfortable. A pear is sweet, juicy and cold, which is highly suggested during the Awakening of Insects.
