Characteristics of solar terms of fear

1, the temperature rises rapidly.

Sting is the solar term with the fastest temperature rise in a year. During the dormant period, most areas have begun to pick up and the rain has increased. But at this time, the temperature fluctuates greatly, the climate changes greatly, and the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, so we must pay attention to keeping warm in time.

There are many pests and diseases.

"Spring thunder, everything grows". Farmers often regard the frightened season as the day when spring ploughing begins. When farmers plough in spring, they should also do a good job in spring crop management. Because of the warm climate, it is easy to cause the occurrence and spread of various pests and diseases, so it is necessary to do a good job in pest control in time.

The thunder is still going on.

Before and after the fright, spring returned to the earth, and spring thunder gradually appeared in most areas of the Yangtze River Basin. As the folk proverb says: "It rained in February before the thunder; After the thunder, it is spring. "That is to say, if the first spring thunder is on the day of thunder, it is considered that the weather is good that year. If the first thunder rang before the sting, it means that there was more rain in that year, and there may be "continuous spring rain".

4. Pests are rampant

"A Thousand Women's Moon Order" said: "When you are afraid, take out lime to drive away insects and ants. "That is to say, thunder will wake up all hibernating snakes, insects, mice and ants. This solar term is the period when mosquitoes and others become active. After a winter, on this scary day, you can smoke dead corners and other places with wormwood to get rid of evil spirits.

Folk custom of shocking solar terms

1. Sacrifice the white tiger to solve right and wrong

According to the folklore in China, the white tiger is the god of tongue and right and wrong. On this day every year, it will come out for food and bite. If you commit a crime, you will often be made waves by evil villains this year, which will hinder your future development and lead to all kinds of difficulties. In order to protect themselves, everyone sacrificed the white tiger on the day of shock. The so-called white tiger sacrifice refers to the white tiger painted with paper for sacrifice. Paper tigers are usually yellow and black, with a pair of fangs painted on the corners. When offering sacrifices, you need to feed it with the blood of the fat pig, so that it won't hurt people after eating it, and then put raw pork on the mouth of the paper tiger, so that it is covered with oil and water and can't open its mouth to tell people right and wrong.

Eat pears when you are frightened.

There is a folk custom of "eating pears in surprise". Because of the revival of solar terms, it is still warm and cold. In addition to paying attention to cold and warmth, it is also because the climate is relatively dry, which makes people thirsty and cough. Therefore, people have the custom of eating pears, which can be eaten raw, steamed, juiced, roasted and cooked. At this time, diet and daily life should follow the nature of the liver. Eating pears is helpful to temper, make the five internal organs calm, and enhance physical fitness to resist the invasion of germs. Some people say that "pear" is homophonic "Li". It is said that eating pears can keep pests away from crops and get a bumper harvest in 2008. On this day, the whole family will eat pears.

Cover the drum skin

Fear 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. "Beat the villain" to drive away bad luck

Every year, there is an interesting scene on the day of panic: while beating the paper doll with wooden slippers, the woman mumbles, "Beat your little head until you want to vomit, and you will vomit when you eat." It means that we should beat all the villains around us this year, so that we won't be unlucky because of the villains.

Stories related to the fear of the twenty-four solar terms

In southern China, especially in Guangdong, it is an important activity with distinctive features to offer sacrifices to white tigers. In ancient times, productivity was backward, and people were more afraid and awed by tigers. Tigers are fierce, so local people think they can ward off evil spirits. Therefore, the ancient book says, "draw a tiger at the door, and ghosts dare not be human." At the same time, tigers are carnivores and often kill poultry, livestock and people. Guangdong people believe that dormant animals start to feed after being awakened by spring thunder. At this time, the white tiger will also go out for food. In order to maintain peace for a year, it is necessary to sacrifice the white tiger on this frightening day. White tigers are usually made of yellow paper with black stripes on their bodies and teeth in their mouths. The finished white tiger is placed in front of the altar. When worshipping, put the fat pork coated with pig blood on the tiger's mouth, indicating that "if you eat enough oil and water, you won't open your mouth to hurt people." This custom is still very popular now. Many temples have set up altars to worship white tigers. In this scary day, especially middle-aged and elderly people will line up to offer sacrifices to the white tiger. Some people also feed ducks' eggs to tigers, and recite the formula "Good people approach, bad people stay away".
