It is more lively outside than the Chinese New Year. " The villager told reporters that there was also a joke in the village to follow the wind and whip. There was a patient in a family who was bedridden all the year round. Because he belongs to the dragon family, he put a whip with others. As a result, his neighbors mistakenly thought that the patient had passed away. Ms. Wang of Botou City said that this scene was staged in Botou City as early as the sixth day of this month. At that time, many people wondered why New Year's Day was not a festival, so many people concentrated on setting off fireworks and firecrackers at night.

"I thought at the time, is this a promotion method for fireworks factories?"

The reporter learned that the phenomenon of "whipping to avoid disaster" not only exists in Botou, but also appeared in Hejian, Suning, Renqiu and other counties and cities recently. Some citizens pointed out that a few years ago, it was popular for mother-in-law to send "fortune beads" to her daughter-in-law, and mother to send "canned peaches" to her son. Now it is "whipping to keep peace". In fact, merchants use the mysterious psychology of the people to make money. "There has never been a similar custom in the history of China folk culture. I hope that everyone will maintain a peaceful attitude and don't blindly follow suit. "
