Jing-zhe (noun)   惊蛰 (Chinese) Awakened hibernation (3rd solar term), literally in Chinese jing 惊 = shock, zhe 蛰 = hibernation 

Example:

The word “Jing-zhe” 惊蛰 means the awakening of hibernating insects. Traditional Chinese folklore says that during Jingzhe, thunderstorms will wake the hibernating insects, which implies that the weather is getting warmer.

In the ancient Chinese calendar also known as the “agriculture calendar”, Jing-Zhe is one of the 24 Chinese solar terms (节气) which later spread to many Asian countries.Jing-zhe is the 3rd term and the third intercalating month (initial) of the 24 solar terms. Jing-zhe begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 345° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 360°. More often, Jing-zhe refers to the day when the Sun is exactly at a celestial longitude of 345°. In the Gregorian calendar, Jing-zhe usually begins around March 5 and ends around March 20. 

In ancient China, Jing-zhe was divided into three periods: “At first-period 桃始华; peach trees start blossoming; second-period 仓庚鸣; yellow warblers chirping; third-period 鹰化为鸠; seeing yellow warblers instead of eagles”. 

Natural flowers, trees, birds, and animals all live and move according to a certain season. Their activities are closely related to climate change.  Each period 候 in a Jie-qi 节气 is associated with a flower letter breeze 花信风. During Jing-zhe , the first period is associated with peach blossoms 桃花, the second period with apricot blossoms 杏花, and the third period with roses 蔷薇.  In addition to these three flowers, there are plum blossoms, spring jasmine flowers, rapeseed flowers, and lilac flowers that still bloom during jing-zhe.

Since ancient times, Jing-zhe has been a solar term for agricultural purposes in the lunar calendar. Jing-zhe is still remembered and celebrated as a Chinese traditional festival.
