Every year, it comes out on this day to hunt for food and bite people. If you offend this, you will be bullied by evil people throughout the year, hindering your future development and causing all kinds of misfortunes. In order to protect themselves, people offered sacrifices to the White Tiger on the day of Jingzhe. The so-called white tiger sacrifice refers to the worship of a white tiger drawn on paper. The paper tiger is usually yellow with black stripes, and has a pair of fangs painted on the corners of its mouth. During worship, the paper tiger is fed with fat pig blood so that after it is full it will not speak ill of others. Then raw pork is smeared on the mouth of the paper tiger so that it is filled with oil and water and it cannot open its mouth to speak ill of others."Beating the villain" drives away bad luck. Jingzhe symbolizes the beginning of February. There will be a thunderclap out of the blue, awakening all the hibernating snakes, insects, rats and ants. The reptiles and ants in the house will respond and look for food everywhere. Therefore, in ancient times, on the day of Jingzhe, people would hold fragrant incense and mugwort and fumigate the four corners of their homes to use the fragrance to drive away snakes, insects, mosquitoes, rats and musty smells. Over time, this gradually evolved into a habit of those who were unhappy slapping their opponents and driving away bad luck, which is the predecessor of "beating the villain". Therefore, an interesting scene would appear on the Waking of Insects day every year: a woman would hit a paper doll with a wooden slipper while chanting a spell to beat the paper doll: "I'll hit your head until you are so angry that you tremble, and I'll hit you until you vomit even if you eat your relatives." The Waking of Zhe is caused by thunder. The ancients imagined that the Thunder God was a great god with a bird's beak, a human body and wings. He held a hammer in one hand and struck many celestial drums surrounding his body with the other hand, making a rumbling thunder. On the day of Jingzhe, the god of thunder beats the celestial drum in heaven, and people on earth also use this opportunity to cover the drum skins. "The Book of Zhou" Volume 40 "Hui Ren" says: "All the time, the drum must be beaten on the day of the awakening of hibernation." Note: "The awakening of hibernation is the first month of spring, when hibernating insects begin to move upon hearing thunder; drum is the symbol; and Mao means covering the drum with leather." It can be seen that not only the ecology of insects is in harmony with the operation of the four seasons, but humans, the most intelligent creatures on earth, must also follow the will of heaven, so that everything can be done with twice the result with half the effort.
