The custom of worshipping the white tiger. Legend has it that the white tiger is the god of tongue and right and wrong, and it will bite people every year on this shocking day, which will hinder people's future development. Therefore, on the day of fright, there is a custom of offering sacrifices to the white tiger, which is intended to resolve right and wrong. 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.
