2. Diet. Sting is the only solar term among the 24 solar terms that emphasizes "prevention" rather than "compensation". Before and after the season of fright, the weather gets warmer gradually, and the diet should be light and mild. It should conform to the nature of the liver, help the temper and make the five internal organs peaceful. In this shocking day, people pay attention to eating pears. Pears are good for temper, so as to strengthen their physique and resist the invasion of germs.

3. Marriage is forbidden. According to the folk custom, during the period before and after the shock, the Lei Gang often went out to do business and thundered, so it was forbidden to do marriage between people during this period. If there are offenders, they will be punished by Lei Gong, and the marriage will not go smoothly. Therefore, even if there is a good wedding day, many people will not do happy things at this time.
4. "Playing the villain" drives away bad luck. The wake-up call symbolizes the beginning of February. It will wake up all hibernating snakes, insects, mice and ants, and reptiles and ants at home will get up and look around for food. 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".
