I have heard of the custom of beating villains before, but I still remember that I first knew this custom because the scene of beating villains in a certain place in Guangdong was too noisy and made the news. According to the data, the custom of beating villains on this day is mainly popular in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong, so the scope of this south can be narrowed down a little. The custom of beating villains originated from witchcraft, because the largest number of people perform this ceremony on the day of fright. Later, beating villains gradually developed into a folk custom of panic day.

Defeat the villain

First, the relationship between beating villains and witchcraft

No matter from the name of the villain, or from the expression of people's actions when hitting the villain, and what they say in their mouths, it can be inferred that this has a certain origin with witchcraft. As early as the prosperous Tang Dynasty, beating villains became popular, which was called "curse-weariness" or "victory-weariness", and it was a kind of witchcraft with cursing effect. However, at that time, the government promulgated a law prohibiting witchcraft. I don't know if this thing will work. If it prevails, it may have a bad influence on society. This may be why the folk custom of beating villains was only popular in Guangdong and Hong Kong, which were relatively remote at that time.

Second, beating a villain is amazing.

As I said before, beating villains comes from witchcraft, so what does it have to do with scaring? Now is not a good time to fight villains. Every lunar day (the sixth, sixteenth and 26th day) is a good day to beat villains. But in the eyes of the ancients, it is more suitable for unexpected events and beatings. "Surprise" The day when the spring thunder woke up everything, naturally it also included all kinds of filthy things, including villains. So, one day, we should beat the villains to prevent them from doing evil. There is no saying that anyone is beaten by electric shock in the world, and more people are beaten.

I would like to add here that, because panic day is also the day when the white tiger star wakes up, there are activities to worship the white tiger in addition to beating villains.

Third, play the villain spell.

Some friends may be curious about the custom of beating villains, or they may be interested in the spells people recite when beating villains, so I specially arranged some. I have to say, these spells are a little poisonous.

Hit your head and shake your head every day when you are angry.

I treat you like a fool. When your whole family gets SARS, you will be a bitch for life.

I punched you in the eye, and you were smashed and beheaded every day.

I hit your ear, and you rot every day, and your fingers are sensitive to shit.

Hit you in the chest. When you get SARS and have a stroke, the back door will open.

I'll give you a hand. You won't know when you have money. There will be a tone change.

Warm reminder, this is only a part of folk custom, so don't use it to curse others. If you really hold a grudge against someone, personally, it is the best "revenge" to improve yourself and make life better. Once upon a time, an old man put a scarecrow in front of my uncle's house and went to the door to curse every morning. I'm not angry, but I think the old man is very poor, very poor.

Personal feelings: Beating villains originated from witchcraft, but it was reformed in the process of developing into a folk custom. The mantra is a bit ugly, but its main purpose is to vent emotions, express dissatisfaction and provide psychological comfort. Beating villains also has a blessing effect, so "beating villains" can be said to be an industry in some places. Although I don't know if this will work, as a bystander, I can only say that I respect this folk custom.
