Characteristics and customs of stinging —— Introduction of characteristics and customs of stinging

1 and 24 solar terms are characterized by "spring thunder, everything grows", and the season of fright is sunny in September. As the temperature rises and the rain increases, farmers have no leisure. It can be described as Heshui Zuo's "a thunderbolt startled snakes and insects, and several showers were raining purple. In 1999, the wind in the south of the Yangtze River warmed up and the green fields began to plow in spring. " At this time, the average temperature in most parts of China has risen above 0℃ except the winter scenes in the northeast and northwest. The average daily temperature in North China is 3-6℃, and that in the south of the Yangtze River is above 8℃. The southwest and south China 10- 15℃ are already harmonious spring. "Spring thunder scares thousands of insects", but the warm climate conditions are conducive to the occurrence and spread of many diseases and insect pests, and weeds in the fields sprout one after another. It is necessary to do a good job in pest control and intertillage weeding in time. "Peach blossoms come, swine fever comes", and we should also pay attention to the epidemic prevention of poultry and livestock. At this time, the temperature rose rapidly, and spring thunder gradually appeared in most areas of the Yangtze River Basin. In most parts of southern China, the first sound of spring thunder can also be heard in the perennial rain and stormy waves; In the northwest of North China, except for a few years, it usually doesn't thunder until Qingming. Thorns and thunder are the most striking. For example, "it thundered before the earthquake, and the clouds could not open for forty-nine days." The solar term of fright is in the middle of cold and warm weather. According to the cold and warm weather, there are proverbs to predict the weather in the later period: "Cold fright, warm spring equinox" and so on. The wind with prickly knots is also used as a basis for predicting the weather in the later period. For example, "if you are afraid of the north wind, you will spend the winter from the beginning" and "if you are afraid of the south wind, you will be late."

2. Eat pears when you are frightened: Because the weather is obviously warmer after being frightened, people are prone to dry mouth and cough due to exogenous factors. Pear is cold and sweet, and has the effects of moistening lung, relieving cough, nourishing yin and clearing heat. Eating pears at this time is very nourishing to the body.

3, fright to cover the drum: fright is caused by thunder. The ancients imagined Thor as a bird's beak, a winged god, holding a hammer in one hand and knocking on many drums around his body in the other, making a rumbling thunder. On this shocking day, Raytheon played drums in the sky, and the world also took this opportunity to cover the drums.

4. "Beating a villain": The folk custom of "beating a villain" symbolizes that in early February, all hibernating snakes, insects, rats and ants will be woken up, and reptiles and ants at home will also get up and look for food everywhere.

Therefore, in ancient times, people would smoke the four corners of their homes with incense and wormwood to drive away snakes, insects, mosquitoes, rats and musty smells. Over time, it gradually evolved into the habit of slapping unhappy people and driving away bad luck, which is the predecessor of "beating villains". Many people deify "beating villains", but this is purely a folk custom. The purpose of beating villains is to drive away the villains around you and vent their inner dissatisfaction by patting the paper dolls representing their opponents. The purpose of most people beating villains is to hope that everything will go well in the new year, and the targets of being "beaten" are mainly "villains" and so-called "mistresses" encountered in life and work.
