During the Jingzhe period, the seasonal winds herald the blooming of peach blossoms in the first phase, barberry flowers in the second, and roses in the third. The peach blossoms, tinged with the promise of rain and glistening with moisture, all lay aside their fleeting wildness and grow serene and demure.
There is a custom of eating pears during the Jingzhe solar term. During this time, the weather is still chilly despite the warming trend, and the air tends to be dry, which can easily leave one feeling parched and uncomfortable. For this reason, it has long been customary in folk tradition to eat pears at Jingzhe.
Thunder is a key feature of the Jingzhe solar term. Ancient people imagined the Thunder God as a winged deity with the beak of a bird and the body of a human, holding a hammer in one hand and striking numerous celestial drums encircling him with the other, producing booming thunderclaps. On the day of Jingzhe, while the Thunder God strikes the heavenly drums in the celestial realm, people on earth also take this opportunity to stretch drumheads.
Hong Kong and Macau have long observed the custom of “beating the little people.” According to legend, the White Tiger is the deity of gossip and discord; each year on this day it emerges to hunt. To offend it is said to invite malicious individuals to stir up trouble throughout the year, hindering one’s career and bringing all manner of misfortune. Consequently, people purchase ritual paper offerings—such as paper tigers, auspicious paper, and paper figures of petty villains—to perform the “beating the little people” rite.
Winter gives way to spring, and the Awakening of Insects arrives quietly. The spring breeze and spring rain are filled with the spirit of spring, and the thunder of the Awakening of Insects holds hidden delight.
A spring thunderclap awakens all things to renewal, heralds good fortune and success, and drives away bad luck, misfortune, illness, and sorrow.
A spring rain ushers in warm weather and blooming flowers, favorable weather for farming, and good health and peace!
Wishing you lasting joy, endless surprises, and smooth sailing throughout the Jingzhe season!
“When the spring thunder rumbles, all things grow.”
