Surprise traditional customs

According to the folklore in China, the white tiger is the god of tongue and right and wrong. On this day every year, it will come out for food and bite. If you commit a crime, you will often be made waves by evil villains, which will hinder your future development and lead to all kinds of troubles. 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.

The custom of being electrocuted is veiled.

Fear is caused by 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. On this shocking day, Raytheon played drums in the sky, and the world also took this opportunity to cover the drums. The article "Swinging People" in Volume 40 of Zhou Li said: "Whoever beats the drum starts to stab it."

3. Shocking the world and beating villains

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 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 slapping unhappy people and driving away bad luck, which is the predecessor of "beating villains".

Therefore, every year, there will be an interesting scene on the day of panic: while beating the paper doll with wooden slippers, the woman mumbles, "Hit your little head until you are so angry that you want to vomit."

Health care during shock should be based on natural phenology and physical differences. Huangdi Neijing said: "Spring March is called Chen. Heaven and earth are born and everything is glorious. Lie down at night and get up early, stride in court, put on your hair and walk slowly to be ambitious. " In other words, when everything recovers in spring, going to bed early, getting up early and walking slowly can make you feel happy and healthy. Pay attention to keep warm in areas with low temperature in the north and large temperature difference between morning and evening. Spring corresponds to the liver. If you don't keep in good health, it will hurt the liver.

According to modern epidemiological investigation, spring is the high incidence season of liver diseases, so we should pay attention to nourishing and protecting the liver to prevent the epidemic of infectious diseases in spring. Diet conditioning depends on the change of solar terms and everyone's physical condition. Mainly based on the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer", you can eat more foods that can nourish yang, such as leeks, spinach and shepherd's purse. In spring, liver qi is strong, which is easy to hurt the spleen, so eat less acid, eat more sweets such as jujube, crispy rice and yam, and replenish the spleen in shock season, which can be made into jujube porridge and yam porridge.
