- Program Notes
- A year is divided into 24 solar terms in the traditional East Asian calendar and Jingzhe is the 3rd solar term. In the Gregorian calendar, it usually begins around 5th -7th March and ends around 20th March. It is the first cultivation period of the year in the most areas in China. Rumble of thunder and lightning make the earth agitate and surge; a long and cold winter comes to the end; myriad seed starts breeding gradually. Jingzhe means the awakening of hibernating insects. According to the traditional Chinese folklore, during this period thunderstorms will wake the hibernating insects up, which implies the weather is getting warmer. Jingzhe is vivid described by flute: the dormant animals hide inside the soil also in the stone crevices through the cold winter. After being awakened by the first thunderstorms in the beginning of the spring, they gradually drill out from the soil and stone crevices and start activities for the arrival of spring; with the expression of the flute, we can also feel the warmth of spring and flowers are now blooming everywhere. *Score, published by Universal Edition in 2023
