(2024常州二模)The traditional Chinese calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms. One of them is Awakening of Insects (Chinese: Jingzhe) which fell(fall) on March 5 and ended on March 20 in 2024.
Jingzhe suggests a rise in temperature and increased rainfall, marking the third(three) solar term in the Chinese lunar year. Its name means that animals sleeping through the whole winter start to wake up and everything begins to come back to life.
Jingzhe is a very important time for farmers and is seen(see) as the beginning of the busiest time for agricultural work. Old Chinese sayings(say), such as "once Jingzhe comes, spring plowing(春耕) never rests", show the importance of this solar term to farmers. During this period, most parts of China experience a rapid increase in temperatures and a marked increase in sunshine, which together provide the ideal conditions for farming activities.
Eating pears around Awakening of Insects has become(become) a widely practised custom in China since a long time ago. Because/As the Chinese word for "pear" sounds the same as the word meaning "to leave", eating pears during this solar term shows people's wish to drive away pests(害虫) from crops so that there will be a good harvest throughout the year. In addition, according to the traditional Chinese medicine, the sweet, juicy and cold fruit can be good for the lungs(肺) to prevent(prevent) coughs as the weather warms up and the air becomes dry.
The solar terms are not only a calendar system but also a cultural heritage(遗产) that shows the wisdom of ancient Chinese people in understanding the natural(nature) world. They are the pride of the Chinese culture.
