Spring ploughing

春耕

The Awakening of Insects is an extremely important time for farmers and is widely seen as the beginning of the busiest time for agricultural work. During this period, most parts of China experience the quickest rise in temperatures, with the average level reaching above 10 degrees Celsius, and there is a marked increase in sunshine, which provides good natural conditions for farming.

對農(nóng)民來說，驚蟄是非常重要的一個節(jié)氣，它被廣泛視為一年農(nóng)忙的開始。中國大部分地區(qū)氣溫在此期間上升最快，平均氣溫達到10攝氏度以上，并且光照明顯增強，為春耕提供了良好的自然條件。

Old Chinese sayings such as "once the Awakening of Insects comes, spring ploughing never rests" reveal the importance of this term to farmers.

古語云：“過了驚蟄節(jié)，春耕不能歇”，講的就是驚蟄對農(nóng)民的重要性。
