The word 惊蛰 has the meaning of awakening of hibernated insects. 惊 is startling, and 蛰 is hibernated (insects). The traditional Chinese farming culture said that during Jingzhe, thunderstorms will wake up the hibernated insects, which also means the weather is getting warm.
“惊蛰”意为“惊醒冬眠的昆虫”。中国传统农业文化传统中,惊蛰期间,雷雨增多,冬眠的虫类会被惊起,这也意味着天气会越来越暖。
On March 5 or 6 each year in China, people celebrate the Feast of Excited Insects. This celebration is a sign of the coming spring season, when the insects first awaken from their wintertime slumber. Everyone first notices the insects come forth from the woodpiles, rocks, and any other place where they might live.
在每年的3月5号或6号,中国传统文化迎来二十四节气的惊蛰。惊蛰标志着春天的到来,昆虫们从都冬眠的状态初次醒来。惊蛰开始,大家都会第一次注意到昆虫从柴堆里、石头下和其他地方冒出来。
People living in north China have the practice of placing blocks of ice upon dung heaps to stall the insects from ravaging their homes. There is the belief that the Chinese Dragon will call the insects forth to life from their sleep.
惊蛰这一天,住在中国北方的人们习惯把冰块放在粪堆上,防止昆虫在家中肆虐。北方人认为是中国的传统神兽麒麟将昆虫从沉睡中唤醒的。
