1, startled to eat pears
Eat pears. There is a folk proverb in northern Jiangsu and Shanxi, which is called "Eat pears in shock and feel refreshed in one year." . Some people say that "pear" is homophonic "Li". It is said that eating pears can keep pests away from crops and save the good harvest in 2008. On this day, the whole family will eat pears. In ancient times, West Renye Fang took the homonym of "leaving", which mostly referred to "leaving home to start a business". Later, Shanxi people were shocked to eat pears, and they also had the idea of "trying to worship their ancestors."
2. "Play the villain" to drive away the mold
In ancient times, people used incense and wormwood to smoke the four corners of their homes to drive away snakes, insects, mosquitoes, rats and mildew. Over time, it gradually evolved into the habit of slapping unhappy people and driving away bad luck, which is the predecessor of "beating villains".
3. Drum skin
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.
