Jingzhe arrives, spring thunder begins to ring, and the east wind gradually warms up. Good winds rely on borrowing power. Recently, I have been accelerating the production of 'spring orders'. Guo Hongli, a provincial-level representative inheritor of kite making skills in Weifang, Shandong, is flying kites to various places. As soon as the Awakening of Insects arrives, the temperature rises and the airflow surges upwards, making it perfect for kites to fly high. ”Guo Hongli said that after winter, people are looking forward to leaving their homes, flying kites outdoors, and stretching their muscles. Weifang kites are made using the traditional techniques of "tying, pasting, painting, and flying", with exquisite craftsmanship and diverse shapes. Their production techniques have been selected for the national intangible cultural heritage list. Guo Hongli is working on the classic string dragon head centipede kite, and his studio has received many orders for China-Chic kites this year. We collaborate with brands such as catering and gaming to blend traditional cultural symbols such as thangka and Dunhuang with popular elements, which not only attracts the attention of young people, but also adds colorful colors to spring. ”Jingzhe is the third solar term among the 24 solar terms in China, marking the beginning of mid spring. It awakened dormant insects. Various customs have emerged from this in different regions: in Shandong, people light stoves, make pancakes, and use fireworks to drive away pests; Burning mugwort and smoking corners of houses in the Jiangnan region to prevent mosquito breeding; In Guangdong, folk people pray for peace by offering sacrifices to the White Tiger and drive away bad luck by cracking down on petty people; In some places, stir frying soybeans, sesame seeds, and eating pears (homophonic with "li") symbolize staying away from pests and diseases. With the arrival of the Awakening of Insects, the lowest temperature in most parts of China has risen to above 0 ℃. The winter wheat in the North China Plain turns green and grows, the rape in the Jiangnan Watertown bolts and blossoms, and the early rice seedlings and tea trees sprout in South China. Various regions in China have gradually entered the "golden period" of spring plowing, managing seedlings, removing weeds, and applying spring fertilizers. Plowmasters and various smart agricultural machinery shuttle through the vast fields. In Yuncheng, Heze, Shandong, a major grain producing county in China, drones fly at a constant speed over wheat fields, accurately scattering fertilizer between green wheat ridges. 815000 acres of high standard farmland have been built locally, providing space for drone operations. Taking a thousand acres of wheat field as an example, three machines working simultaneously can fertilize it in less than half a day. ”Flying hand Zhang Zongyun is operating the 'aerial dancer' in the field. He introduced to the reporter of China News Service that a drone can operate 380 acres per hour, which is more than 50 times more efficient than manual labor, and can also significantly save pesticides and water consumption. Wang Jinguo, a village cadre in Dongying Village, Yuncheng County, said: "In the past, during the season of awakening the Insects, the entire village's labor was mobilized, and it took at least 10 days to fertilize more than a thousand acres of land. Now, with drones, people no longer have to bend down to rush for time, people are relaxed, and costs have been reduced." The agricultural proverb goes: "When spring thunder rings during the awakening of the Insects, farmers are busy." The ancient poem also says: "A light rain brings new flowers, and a thunder awakens the Insects. The fields are idle for a few days, and farming begins from then on." The deep connection between awakening the Insects and farming is not only due to the interaction between seasonal characteristics and natural laws, but also embodies the wisdom accumulated by ancient Chinese people in long-term agricultural practice. Zheng Yan, a researcher at the Cultural Research Institute of Shandong Academy of Social Sciences, told reporters that ancient people constructed a farming system that adapted to the weather and local conditions by observing astronomical and phenological phenomena for a long time, which highly synchronized agricultural production with natural rhythms, thereby reducing disaster losses and ensuring food production safety and stability. This kind of binding goes beyond simple time markers and becomes a vivid embodiment of the ancient Chinese philosophy of 'unity of heaven and man'. Regardless of its complexity, the deep appeal of the Jingzhe custom is consistent, which is to re-establish the 'orderly' boundary between humans and nature in the 'disorder' that may arise from the revival of all things. ”Zheng Yan said that it is through a series of established procedures that people engage in dialogue with nature, unite communities, and invest in the production and life of the new year with hope.
