The meaning and custom of fear.

Sting is one of the twenty-four solar terms, and its time is usually on March 5 or 6 of the Gregorian calendar every year. In the season of fright, the spring is budding, the temperature rises, the spring thunder bursts, the spring rain continues, nature is full of vitality, and spring ploughing begins one year. There are three customs of being stung by electric shock, namely, offering sacrifices to the white tiger to turn evil into righteousness, beating small people for evil, and offering sacrifices to Raytheon to cover his head.

First, sacrifice the white tiger and turn right from wrong.

According to the folklore of China, the white tiger is a god of right and wrong. Every year it comes out to feed and eat people. "Sacrificing the white tiger" means drawing the white tiger with paper at the time of sacrifice, feeding it with pig blood, so that it won't hurt people after eating it, and then smearing raw pork on the mouth of the paper tiger to make it full of oil and water, so that it won't open its mouth to tell people right and wrong.

Second, it's bad luck to play the bad guy.

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 around for food. Therefore, in ancient times, people would hold wormwood and smoke the four corners of the house to drive away snakes, insects, mosquitoes, rats and molds with fragrance. Over time, it gradually evolved into the meaning of hitting a villain.

Third, sacrifice the drum skin of Raytheon.

Fear is caused by thunder. Thor, as the god of the nine heavens, has a lofty position, so it used to be a custom to present a drum skin to Thor.
