Insect Awakening

Yesterday, March 6th, was the first day of the "Insects Awakening" (in Mandarin, jīngzhé, literally, "awake the hibernating") solar term.

惊蛰 (驚蟄)

The left two signs are Simplified Cinese, the left two are Traditional. In both versions, the second sign contains the insect radical (it is the bottom part of the character). However, there is no specific mention of insects in the Chinese name. Those who awaken from the winter sleep could just as well be frogs or lizards.
