There is a custom of eating pears in surprise. Frightened by the solar terms, it is warm and cold at first sight, and the climate is relatively dry. Hong Kong and Macao have always had the custom of "beating villains". Legend has it that the white tiger is the god of words and right and wrong, and it will come out for food on this day every year. Criminals were made waves by evil villains during the year, which hindered their future development and led to various difficulties. So everyone should buy a piece of paper, including paper tiger, auspicious paper, villain paper and so on, to "beat villains". There is a folk saying in Guangdong that "sacrifice the white tiger to resolve right and wrong". It is said that the white tiger is the god of tongue, and it will come out to feed and hurt people on this day every year. The so-called "white tiger sacrifice" is a paper tiger with yellow and black stripes for sacrifice.
