The Chinese lunar calendar (阳历) divides the year into 24 solar terms (节气). Awakening of Insects (惊蛰) is the third. It falls on March 5 and lasts until March 19 this year. Awakening of Insects marks the start of spring and brings a rise in temperature and rainfall, waking animals from their winter sleep. It is also an important time for farmers to start spring agricultural (农业的) activities.
During this period of time, the sound of spring thunder can be heard. In China, there is a saying that if the first thunder comes before Awakening of Insects, there will be unusual weather that year. Spring thunder happens because the earth becomes humid (湿润的), and hot air rises, creating a lot of winds. This period is also important for weather forecasting (预报).
Sleeping animals and fish are awaken during this period, making it a good time for fishing. Fishing provides mental and physical relaxation, especially for people living in the city. They can enjoy the outdoors, sunshine, and the beauty of the nature.
The Awakening of Insects is a busy time for farmers as it marks the beginning of the busiest time for agricultural work. The temperature rises above 10°C, and there is more sunshine, providing good natural conditions for farming. As old Chinese sayings go, once the Awakening of Insects comes, spring ploughing (耕种) never rests. As the weather becomes warmer, eating pears during Awakening of Insects is a common practice in China. Pears are sweet, juicy and cold, helping people who cough a lot.

When you think about a factory, what do you imagine first? Do you picture lots of workers doing the same thing over and over again without stopping? Well, things are changing!
Nowadays, because of super cool technologies like AI, the internet of things, cloud computing and big data, factories are becoming smarter. They need fewer workers than you might think.
Teway Food Group, a company in Chengdu, Sichuan, makes tasty seasonings, which are added into food to improve the taste. There robots do most of the work in their clever factory. First, the robots get and mix the things in line with their recipes (食谱). After that, the food goes into a smart cooking system that carefully watches and controls the temperatures to make sure the seasonings taste really good. During the whole process, you hardly see any workers and this makes everything cost much less. The president of the company, Yu Zhiyong, told The Paper, “Thanks to the smart factory, we have been able to make things 40 percent cheaper.”
Besides helping companies save money, smart factories are also looking out for the safety of workers. Baidu created a smart safety assistant (助理) called Du An’an to make sure workers are safer in factories. It gives fast answers to safety questions from workers and also looks at safety problems, helping managers work with dangers and risks quickly. Thanks to Du An’an, a big chemical (化学品) company called Daxie Petrochemical can now deal with accidents 50 percent faster than before.
Faster, better and safer at a lower cost, smart factories are changing our life. In line with the “Made in China 2025” plan, China is ready to grow from “Made in China” to “Created in China”.
