What is the solar term for beating villains?

There is also the custom of "beating villains" in the solar terms, which can drive away villains and bad luck around you and spend a year safely and smoothly. During the solar term, the most striking custom is beating villains. At present, this custom still exists in Hong Kong, Macao and some places in the south.

The so-called "villain" refers to people who like to sow discord and create troubles around them, and can also symbolize right and wrong or bad luck caused for no reason. In folklore, the white tiger is the tongue and the god of right and wrong. It comes out for food every year on the day of the solar term, but the criminals are made waves by evil villains in one year, which hinders their future development and leads to all kinds of difficulties.

Therefore, in order to drive away the villain and avoid a year's bad luck, we will buy paper materials on this day, including paper tigers, auspicious paper and villain paper, in order to "beat the villain". The ancients prayed for disaster relief through the ceremony of "beating villains" to save the day.
