Is it appropriate to get engaged and get married?

According to the folk custom, before and after the fright, Lei Gong often went out to do business and thundered from time to time, so it was forbidden to do marriage between people during this period. If there is an offender, he will be punished by Lei Gong, and his marriage will be improper and his family will be unhappy. Therefore, in order to avoid taboos, there is generally no blind date, engagement or marriage during this period.

On that day, people will "beat villains" to get rid of bad luck, symbolizing the beginning of February. It will wake up all hibernating snakes, insects, rats and ants with a thunder, and reptiles and ants at home will also 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 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 get angry and vomit when you eat."
