Today marks Awakening of Insects (jing zhe, Chinese: 惊蛰), the third of the 24 Solar Terms – a time when spring thunder rumbles, flowers bloom and hibernating creatures stir to life. Let's embrace the charm of spring with a Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220) Shizhaishan-style bronze drum with man rowing motifs, housed in the National Maritime Museum of China in Tianjin. Beat the drum to welcome a vibrant spring!
