Awakening of Insects (Jingzhe), is the third of China's 24 solar terms, marking the beginning of mid-spring. Its name comes from the spring thunder that awakens insects hibernating underground. During this period, temperatures rise rapidly and rainfall increases, with most regions of China entering the busy spring farming season. As folk sayings go, "Spring thunder stirs all insects" and "After the Awakening of Insects, snakes emerge." Nature fully awakens with the thunder and rain, presenting a vibrant scene of spring vitality.
