What's the taboo of this day?

Marriage is forbidden on this day of fright. According to folk custom, before and after the fright, Lei Gong often went out to do things, and thunder thundered from time to time, so it was forbidden to do marriages between people during this period. If there are offenders, they will be punished by Lei Gong, the marriage will not be done properly, and the family will be unhappy. Therefore, in order to avoid taboos, there is generally no blind date, engagement or marriage during this period.

There is also the custom of offering sacrifices to white tigers. Legend has it that the white tiger is the god of tongue and right and wrong, and it will bite people every year on this day of fright, hindering people's future development. Therefore, on the day of the fright, there is a custom of offering sacrifices to white tigers among the people, which means to resolve right and wrong. The so-called white tiger sacrifice refers to the white tiger painted with paper for worship. The paper tiger is generally yellow and black with a pair of fangs painted at the corner. When offering sacrifices, you need to feed it with the blood of a fat pig, so that it won't hurt people after eating, and then put raw pork on the mouth of a paper tiger to make it full of oil and water, and you can't open your mouth to tell people right and wrong.
