During the spring time, homes may have the symbol of the dragon in the form of a statue, particularly one made of jade, or a painting of a dragon. In addition to being able to move the insects from their sleep, the Dragon also is capable of influencing the waters on earth, which also come to life after being frozen over from the winter time.
在春天,人们会在家里放上龙的标志,可能是龙形雕塑(尤其是玉雕的龙),也可能是一幅关于龙的画。麒麟除了能唤醒沉睡的昆虫,还能影响地球上的水源,麒麟一声长吼,江河湖海的水也从冬季的漫长冰封状态复苏重现生机。
In the southern part of China on the Feast of Excited Insects, women make paper images of the white tiger and display the image in a visible part of the house. The tiger is a symbol of good luck, keeping away noxious creatures at bay such as rats, snakes, and spiders. The white tiger also symbolizes harmony in the home, bringing peace for the spring season and new year ahead.
而在中国南方,妇女们会用纸扎出白虎,摆在家中显眼的地方。白虎象征着好运,能够赶走家中的老鼠、蛇或蝙蝠等讨厌的生物。白灰也象征着家庭和睦,为春季和新的一年带来宁静祥和的氛围。
China still observe this holiday, especially in agrarian, rural areas that tend to keep closer to the cycles of the seasons. Watching the insects come to life at the start of spring must be exciting, for it allows people to look forward to a prosperous growing season.
