About horror.
Smell marks the beginning of the mid-spring season, which is the third of the 24 solar terms. At this time, the weather is getting warmer, and the spring thunder gradually rises, which awakens the animals and insects hidden underground in winter and makes them come out to move, which is the old saying "Spring thunder stuns". This solar term is of great significance in busy farming. The working people in our country attach great importance to the Spring Festival and generally regard it as the day when spring ploughing begins.
According to agricultural proverbs, farmers engage in various agricultural activities. The main production in Beijing and Zhejiang is spring ploughing, fertilization, pest control and afforestation. Among them, pest control also has a certain witchcraft color. In folk, people in many places call it "February Festival", which adds a lot of festive atmosphere to it. Since it is called "Festival", it is natural to have wonderful and interesting folk activities.
The habit of being frightened:
1, eat fried beans: In some areas of Shandong Province, farmers will burn pancakes in the yard on the day of fright, which means that smoke will kill pests. In Shaanxi, some areas have the custom of eating fried beans.
2. Shaking lice: People in some places shake their clothes as soon as they hear the first spring thunder. I believe that this will not only shake off lice and fleas, but also not be harassed by these parasites for a year. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Dong said in Spring Field, Volume II of Scenery of the Imperial Capital: "When you first hear thunder, you shake your clothes, fleas and lice will not be born."
3, cover the drum: caused by thunder. The ancients imagined Thor as a winged god with a bird's beak, holding a hammer in one hand and knocking on many drums around him in the other, making a rumbling thunder. On this frightening day, there was a thunder god beating drums in the sky, and people demanded to seize this opportunity to cover the drums.
