Everything comes back to life Insects Awaken

Jingzhe, the third solar term in the Chinese lunar calendar, arrives like a magical messenger around March 5th or 6th each year. It's the moment when nature breaks free from the shackles of winter, ushering in a season of vibrant life.

The rumbling thunder during Jingzhe is nature's powerful alarm. It reverberates through the sky, shattering the long - held silence of winter. This thunder is not just a sound; it's a signal. Hibernating insects, snug in their hiding places, stir at the vibration. Bears, squirrels, and other hibernating animals slowly open their eyes, emerging from their dens. The ground, once frozen and still, now feels the first tremors of new life. Buds on trees, which have been patiently waiting, burst open. Tender shoots push through the soil, stretching towards the warm sunlight. The world, which was a monochrome canvas of white and brown, suddenly explodes with colors. Green leaves unfurl, and colorful flowers start to dot the landscape, as if nature is celebrating the victory of spring over winter with a grand display.
