Qu Bai Chuan set out through the Western Pass to engage in business and became wealthy, naming the business he established 'Chang Yuan Hou'. Later, those who also set out through the Western Pass followed suit by eating pears, expressing the intention to start a business away from home. Later on, eating pears on the day of the Spring Awakening also became a symbol of the wish to strive for honor and prosperity for one's ancestors.

The festival of Jingzhe symbolizes the beginning of February, where there is a sudden thunderclap on the ground, waking up all the snakes, insects, and rodents that have been hibernating through the winter. The crawling creatures in the home would also respond to the sound and start searching for food. Therefore, in ancient times on the day of Jingzhe, people would hold fragrant incense and mugwort, and fumigate the four corners of their homes with the smell to drive away snakes, insects, mosquitoes, rodents, and musty odors. Over time, this gradually evolved into the habit of those who are not contented to beat their adversaries and drive away bad luck, which is the precursor to the practice of slapping a person.

33. Hong Kong and Macau have always had the custom of "beating evil spirits." According to legend, the White Tiger is the god of gossip and controversy. It is said that every year on this day, the White Tiger comes out to forage, and if one offends it, they may suffer the turmoil caused by malicious individuals throughout the year, hindering their progress and leading to various misfortunes. Therefore, everyone should buy some paper materials, which include paper tigers, auspicious paper, and evil spirit papers, to "beat the evil spirits."

34. 惊蛰是雷声引起的。古人想象雷神是位鸟嘴人身，长了翅膀的大神，一手持锤，一手连击环绕周身的许多天鼓，发出隆隆的雷声。惊蛰这天，天庭有雷神击天鼓，人间也利用这个时机来蒙鼓皮。《周礼》卷四十《挥人》篇上说："凡冒鼓必以启蛰之日。注：惊蛰，孟春之中也，蛰虫始闻雷声而动;鼓，所取象也;冒，蒙鼓以革。可见不但百虫的生态与一年四季的运行相契合，万物之灵的人类也要顺应天时，凡事才能达到事半功倍之效。

34. The festival of Jingzhe (Awakening of Insects) is caused by thunder. The ancients imagined that the thunder god had the body of a man with the beak of a bird, wings, and was a great deity who held a hammer in one hand and struck many celestial drums around him with the other hand, producing the rumbling sound of thunder. On the day of Jingzhe, there was a thunder god striking celestial drums in the heavenly court, and humans also used this opportunity to cover the drums with drum skins. According to Volume 40, Chapter "The Officers of the Whip" of the "Rites of Zhou": "Drum skins must be covered on the day of Awakening of Insects." Note: Jingzhe is in the middle of the first month of spring, when the dormant insects begin to move upon hearing the sound of thunder; drums are what they are symbolizing; covering means covering the drums with leather. It is evident that not only do the ecological activities of all insects coincide with the changing seasons of the year, but human beings, as the sentient beings of the world, must also conform to the natural rhythms. Only then can everything be achieved with half the effort and double the results.

35. 所以每年惊蛰那天便会出现一个有趣的场景：妇人一边用木拖鞋拍打纸公仔，一边口中念念有词地念：打你个小人头，打到你有气冇定抖，打到你食亲野都呕的打小人咒语。

Therefore, on the day of the Spring Equinox every year, there appears an interesting scene: women, while beating paper dolls with wooden slippers, also recite incantations with their mouths, saying: "Beat your little head, beat you until you can't breathe and tremble, beat you until you feel nausea even when eating your favorite food." This is a curse to beat someone.

36. 惊蛰时节的谚语： 惊蛰时节的气候特点：

37. 到了惊蛰，中国大部地区进入春耕大忙季节。大部分地区惊蛰节气平均气温一般为12℃至14℃，较雨水节气升高3℃以上，是全年气温回升最快的节气，日照时数也有比较明显的增加。但是因为冷暖空气交替，天气不稳定，气温波动甚大。华南东南部长江河谷地区，多数年份惊蛰期间气温稳定在12℃以上，有利于水稻和玉米播种，其余地区则常有连续3天以上日平均气温在12℃ 以下的低温天气出现，不可盲目早播。

36. Idioms of the Start of Insect Awakening: 37. As the Start of Insect Awakening arrives, most parts of China enter the busy spring plowing season. The average temperature during the Start of Insect Awakening is generally between 12℃ to 14℃, which is 3℃ higher than that of the Rain Water period, making it the fastest warming period of the year. The hours of daylight also increase significantly. However, due to the alternation of cold and warm air masses, the weather is unstable, and there are large fluctuations in temperature. In the Yangtze River Valley in southern and southeastern China, the temperature is usually stable above 12℃ during the Start of Insect Awakening in most years, which is favorable for planting rice and corn. In other areas, there are often prolonged periods of low temperatures with an average daily temperature below 12℃ for more than three days, so it is not advisable to plant prematurely.
