Characteristics and customs of the solar terms of fright: handwritten newspaper

Smell marks the beginning of the mid-spring season, which is the third of the 24 solar terms. At this time, the weather is getting warmer, and the spring thunder gradually rises, which awakens the animals and insects hidden underground in winter and makes them come out to move, which is the old saying "Spring thunder stuns".

First, sacrifice the white tiger.

According to folklore, every year on this day, the white tiger will come out for food and bite. In this year, injured people are usually made waves by evil villains, which will hinder your future development. Therefore, in order to protect themselves, people worship the white tiger on the day of fright. This white tiger sacrifice refers to a white tiger painted with paper. When you worship, you need to feed the paper tiger with the fat pig blood in its mouth, which means that it won't hurt people again after eating it, and it is impossible to open its mouth to tell people right and wrong.

Second, "beating villains"

What is surprising is the beginning of February in mid-spring. Thunder will wake up all hibernating snakes, insects, rats and ants, and reptiles and ants at home will also feed around because of the noise. Therefore, in ancient times, people would smoke the four corners of their homes with incense and wormwood to drive away snakes, insects, rats, ants and musty smells. Over time, it gradually evolved into the habit of those unhappy people slapping their opponents and driving away bad luck, which is the predecessor of "beating villains".

Third, sacrifice to Raytheon and cover the drum skin.

But the important feature of thunder solar terms is 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. People worship Raytheon in the hope that Raytheon can awaken all things and make people present a vibrant scene everywhere.
