An aerial photo captures a farmer spraying pesticide on farmland in Hai'an's high-tech zone, Nantong, a city in East China's Jiangsu province, on March 6. This year's Awakening of Insects (one of 24 solar terms, Jingzhe in Chinese) falls on March 6 and signals a rise in temperature and increased rainfall. As the third solar term in the lunar year, its name alludes to the fact that animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life. It is the key time for spring agricultural activities. [Photo/IC]
