February 2 is the time for all things to revive, and it is also the time for pests to wake up. There is a saying that everyone should have heard, "The golden beans bloom and the grain is plentiful." Therefore, every household will fry beans to pray for the removal of pests.
In addition, people hope to be safe and healthy in the new year and have a good harvest. Therefore, on this day of February 2 every year, people fry beans. Over time, it has become a habit, and now they have become jelly beans.
The dragon originates from the image of the six constellations of horns, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin and Tail in the traditional Chinese 28-constellation heavenly system. "Seeing a dragon in the field" describes the celestial phenomenon of Spica, located at the dragon's horn, rising again from the eastern horizon after the dragon star has disappeared. "Xiang" says: "Seeing a dragon in the field is a sign of virtue."
In terms of solar terms, the second day of the second lunar month is between the "Rain", "Jingzhe" and "Spring Equinox". Many places in southern my country have begun to enter the rainy season. Jingzhe is the beginning of the Mao month. This solar term was once called "Qizhe", but was later renamed "Jingzhe". It is the third solar term in the year, heralding the beginning of the mid-spring season.
"Qi" means opening. At this time, thunder begins to occur, and as the temperature rises, hibernating insects feel the sunshine and warmth of spring, break their original dormant state, and emerge from the soil. To get out of it and move, this is "Qi Zhe".
The Waking of Insects is the third solar term in spring after the beginning of spring and the rain, and it is also the beginning of Mao month (the second month of the lunar calendar). Mao means "mao", and all things emerge from the ground. It is an elephant with hair, which represents the flourishing of vitality. As stated in the "Lüshu": "Mao means mao, which means that all things are prosperous."
There are twelve months in a year, and each month corresponds to one hexagram. The month of Mao (including the two solar terms of Jingzhe and Spring Equinox) corresponds to the hexagram of Leitian Dazhuang. The hexagram of the Dazhuang hexagram is that thunder has begun in the sky, and the thunder is ringing in the sky, which is very vivid. The Jingzhe is the first thunder in spring. It is called "spring thunder startles hundreds of insects". During the Jingzhe season, the spring thunder begins to sound, and the hibernating insects hibernating in the ground are awakened by the thunder and burst out of the ground one after another.
The Dazhuang hexagram is the news hexagram of Mao month (February). "Mao" means lush. The five elements of Mao belong to wood, which governs hair and growth. Therefore, the Jingzhe solar term corresponding to the Dazhuang Gua means that all things begin to flourish and are full of vitality, and the beautiful scene of spring warmth and flowers blooming will appear on the earth.
