What is the custom of being stung?

China's traditional calendar divides a year into four seasons and 24 solar terms. The four seasons are spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the solar terms are beginning of spring, Qingming, beginning of autumn and winter solstice. Frightening is one of the solar terms in spring. Literally, "sting" means hibernation, and "shocking" means: spring comes, spring thunder rings at first, and everything on the earth begins to sprout and grow. Animals hiding in the soil or hibernating in caves in the cold winter are awakened by spring thunder and begin to wake up to welcome the arrival of spring. February 15th of the lunar calendar is a day of "fright" every year. On this day, the folk custom is to sacrifice to the white tiger and beat the villain. Animals that sacrifice the white tiger to hibernate wake up for food. According to Guangdong folklore, the white tiger, one of the evil spirits, also eats at this time. For peace, the white tiger will be sacrificed on the day of fright. The goddess of worship first prepares a paper tiger in front of the altar. These paper tigers are usually yellow, with black stripes on their bodies and a pair of fangs painted on their mouths. When offering sacrifices, they need to be fed with pig blood, so that they won't hurt people after eating it. They also need to put fat raw pork on the paper tiger's mouth as a "small gift" to make it full of oil and water, so that it won't hurt people. Beating villains can be carried out all year round, but hitting villains is particularly frequent on scary days, because villains will also export injuries on scary days. Killing villains: A piece of clothes paper for villains includes a pair of paper men and women, a white tiger, gold and silver, incense sticks and sacrifices. Sacrifices include pork (used to worship the white tiger), peanuts, fruits, drinks, eggs and five-colored beans. Some people who beat villains will cut some paper chains, paper scissors and paper sharp knives from red paper to punish villains. The ceremony of dressing up as a villain: first put the offering on the side of the road and light the incense; Take out men's and women's clothes, cut them into the shape of the villain in your mind, and write down the name, time and character of the villain; Fold the paper tiger into a three-dimensional shape and sacrifice it; Then take off your shoes and hit the villain with the sole; After slapping, put scissors on the villain's tongue, which means to cut off the villain's tongue so that he won't gossip; Then put a paper cutter on the villain's stomach, which means to cut open the villain's abdomen and dig out his black heart; Then lock the villain's feet with paper chains, which means that the villain is not allowed to walk; Later, I hit him with my shoes. I read some words to explain villains, such as "hit your little head, when you are angry, there is nothing to shake, hit your little hand, when you have a hand that is not sunken, hit your little foot, when you have feet and nothing to walk …" and so on; After completing the above ceremony, the paper tiger was used to hold down the paper villain, the paper of the villain was burned and five-color beans were thrown at the burning paper, and the whole ceremony was completed. In addition, some people who beat villains will prepare noble paper and stick it on the wall together. The noble paper is on the head and feet, and the villain paper is stuck under the noble paper head down and feet up, which symbolizes that the noble will step on the villain and control the villain.
