Starting on March 5, there will be 24 “Jingzhe” solar terms and 72 “Jingzhe” pentads.
These kanji, which are difficult to read, say “Jingzhe” as “Keichitsu” and “Jingzhe Jingzhe” as “Opening the Sugomori Musito”.
What kind of message does it contain?
In other words, they both tell us that it is time for the insects and animals that were wintering on the ground to feel the heat and get out.
In fact, the 72 “Keido” pentads are paired with the next equinox “Keido”.
It seems that the type of behavior that animals and plants will have in this season is important in the calendar, such as when the animals will appear and disappear.
For example, turtles have a water and air temperature of 24 to 29 ° C, and chipmunks have a temperature of 20 to 24 ° C, so they can be active. (From Manabino Animal Hospital and Iwasaki Animal Hospital)
It was just before the temperature reached this level that the animals and insects began to wake up: “Is it about time?”
So is the temperature warm enough to attract animals this time of year?
“Insect out” is a very strange name, but in fact, it is said that the moment of Jingzhe when the insects started to come out of the ground was the moment of the first thunder.
Raijin seems to lure the insects off the ground as if to say, “It’s spring. Come out soon.”
For us humans, it is just one of the meteorological phenomena like rain and lightning.
However, for animals and insects that are looking forward to spring, if you think it is an important sign of the natural world, your point of view may change a bit.
