What are the shocking and stinging customs? What must be done in the tradition of the 24 solar terms?

The customs of scaring people include offering sacrifices to white tigers, reversing right and wrong, beating villains to exorcise evil spirits, and eating pears in fear. Details are as follows:

1, sacrifice to the white tiger, right and wrong:

According to the folklore in China, the white tiger is the god of tongue and right and wrong, and it will come out for food and eat people on this day every year. Criminals are often made waves by evil villains in this year, which hinders their future development and leads 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.

2. Play the villain to drive away bad luck:

The wake-up call symbolizes the beginning of February. It will wake up all hibernating snakes, insects, mice and ants, and reptiles and ants at home will get up and look for food everywhere. 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".

3, startled to eat pears:

There is a folk custom of eating pears in shock. In traditional culture, eating pears is generally taboo on holidays. However, eating pears in shock means staying away from pests and diseases.
