What are the customs of shocking solar terms?

1. During the period of shock, the custom of offering sacrifices to white tigers, eating pears, beating villains, eating pancakes and offering sacrifices to Thor was popular in some areas. Sacrificing the white tiger is a special frightening activity. In folklore, the white tiger is not only a god beast guarding one side, but also in charge of the right and wrong of China people.

2. "Surprising to eat pears" is a popular folk custom, because pears are homophonic and have a far meaning. When insects wake up, farmers eat pears on this day, which is said to keep pests away from crops.
