  1. The “Waking of Insects”; the Chinese third solar term — a “month” lasting from the fifth to the twentieth days of March.
    — In Cenxi county, south of Wuzhou on a tributary flowing into the West River, the local gazetteer even assigned a specific date to the introduction of double cropping of rice: “Planting an early crop of rice first began during the Tianqi reign (1621–27), [and after that] each year two crops were harvested. The early crop is planted at Jingzhe [“Waking of the Insects”, March 5] and harvested in Xiaoshu or Dashu [“Lesser” or “Greater Heat”, July 7–23]. The late crop is planted at Mengzhong [“Grain in the Ear”, June 6] and harvested in the first month of the winter [mid-November].”

词源

Borrowed from Mandarin 惊蛰 (Jīngzhé), from 惊 (jīng, “rouse, startle, stir”) + 蛰 (zhé, “hibernate”), literally “rouse [insects] from [their] hibernation”.
