What are the characteristics of Jingzhe?

Temperature rises quickly

Jingzhe is the solar term with the fastest temperature rise in the whole year. During this period, most areas have started to warm up and the rainfall has increased. However, during this season, the temperature fluctuates greatly, the climate changes unpredictably, and the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, so you must pay attention to keeping warm in time.

Pests and diseases

"When spring thunder sounds, all things grow." Farmers often regard the Jingzhe season as the beginning of spring ploughing. When farmers are doing spring ploughing, they must also do a good job of spring crop management. Because warm climatic conditions can easily cause the occurrence and spread of a variety of diseases and pests, it is necessary to carry out disease and pest control in a timely manner.

Thunder roars continuously

Around the Waking of Insects, spring comes back to the earth and spring thunder can be heard in most areas of the Yangtze River Basin. A folk proverb says: If there is thunder before the Waking of Insects, it will rain heavily in February; if there is thunder after the Waking of Insects, it will be dry until the spring. That is to say, if the first spring thunder occurs on the day of Jingzhe, it is believed that the weather will be good and the harvest will be good that year. If the first thunder sounds before the Waking of Insects, it indicates that there will be more rain that year and there may be "continuous rain in spring".
