What does the Jingzhe solar term mean?

Jingzhe refers to insects that are awakened by spring thunder after hibernation. Zuo Si's "Ode to the Capital of Wei" in Selected Literature: "It is like the sound of spring thunder, and the insects that wake up and fly; the hidden dragon emerges from the sky, and the deep spring becomes a mirror." Li Shan's note quoted from Lüshi Chunqiu: "When you hear the first thunder of spring, the hibernating insects start to stir."
The Jingzhe solar term is the third solar term among the 24 solar terms. "Qingzhe" occurs on March 5 or 6 every year when the sun reaches 345 degrees of the ecliptic longitude.
Jingzhe means that the weather starts to warm up and spring thunder begins to sound, awakening the insects hibernating underground. Zhe means to hide. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" says: "In the second month, all things come out of the thunder, so it is called the Waking of Insects. The hibernating insects are startled and run away." Tao Yuanming, a poet in the Jin Dynasty, wrote a poem: "The spring rain comes soon, and the thunder starts to sound in the east. All the hibernating insects are startled, and the grass and trees grow tall." In fact, insects cannot hear thunder. It is the return of spring and the warming weather that make them end their hibernation and "run away in fright."

2. Pour the first glass of wine after lighting the incense. After about 30 minutes or half of the incense is burned, one person will light three incense sticks for the second time and pour the second glass of wine.
3. When the incense is half burned, place offerings to the land god who looks after the grave, and then burn a piece of yellow paper to protect the ancestors from harm.
4. When the three incense sticks have burned out, remove the offerings and leave a small amount of money and other belongings to be burned on other graves to prevent other ghosts from stealing money and clothes from the ancestral graves after the people who visited the graves leave.
