【节气】惊蛰 Awakening of Insects

As the third solar term in the traditional Chinese calendar, Jingzhe (惊蛰, Awakening of Insects) marks the stirring of life beneath the earth. With the rumble of spring thunder, nature awakens from winter’s slumber—hibernating insects emerge, buds unfurl, and the world bursts into renewal. 🌸🌱

Jingzhe is a time of energy and movement, encouraging us to shake off the stagnation of winter and embrace growth, change, and new possibilities. In Chinese tradition, people perform rituals to ward off misfortune, enjoy seasonal foods, and welcome the vitality of spring.
