Is the meaning of fright good?

Sting is the first thunder of spring. The so-called "spring thunder" means that when the weather gets warmer, the spring thunder begins to sound, awakening the insects that are dormant and hibernating underground. Twelve months in a year (year), each month corresponds to a divination, and Uzuki (including thunder and vernal equinox) corresponds to a divination of thunder and sky; The divination of Dazhuang hexagrams is that the sky begins to thunder, and the thunder rings in the sky, which is very vivid.

What is striking is the beginning, that is, "Mao" and "Mao". Everything comes out of the ground, representing vitality; Therefore, Uzuki (February) is also an energy production month, and a year of spring ploughing has begun. The symbolic feature of the shocking solar terms is that spring thunder suddenly moves and everything is full of vitality. Judging from the natural phenology and climate process in various parts of China, "the beginning of thunder" only coincides with the natural rhythm in some parts of southern China.

traditional custom

1, drum skin

Fear is caused by thunder. Thor, as the god of nine days, has a lofty position. 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, sending out rumbling thunder to shake the world, so there was a custom of offering sacrifices to Thor in the past. On this shocking day, Raytheon played drums in the sky, and the world also took this opportunity to cover the drums.

2. "Playing the villain" to drive away bad luck

The thorn symbolizes the beginning of February, when a thunder on the ground wakes up all the hibernating snakes, insects, mice and ants, and the reptiles and ants at home will get up and look around for food. Therefore, in ancient times, people would smoke the four corners of their homes with incense and wormwood to drive away snakes, insects, mosquitoes, rats 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".
