What folk activities are there in the Year of the Tiger?

Folk activities in the Year of the Tiger include:

1, Shaanxi has a child-rearing custom of sending cloth tigers. When the child is full moon, my uncle's family will send a tiger made of yellow cloth. When I enter the gate, I will break a tiger's tail and throw it outside. Giving cloth tigers is to hope that children will be as powerful as tigers when they grow up; Breaking the tiger's tail is to hope that children will avoid disasters and difficulties in the process of growing up.

In many places, children still have the custom of wearing tiger-headed hats and shoes. People think that the image of a tiger can scare away demons, protect children's safety and enhance their vitality.

3. On the Dragon Boat Festival in the Year of the Tiger, people often wear Ai Hu, a hand-woven ornament, and draw a king on their children's forehead with realgar wine, and then tie it into a tiger-shaped sachet with five-color lines to express their blessings, which has gradually evolved into the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival every year.

On the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May, Ai Hu (a tiger-shaped ornament decorated with mugwort leaves) is popular in Shandong, Zhejiang and Fujian to ward off evil spirits. On the Dragon Boat Festival, all parts of the north like to write the word "king" on children's foreheads with realgar wine, which is called "tiger head pattern". Every household also sticks "Five Poisons of Ai Hu Town" and "Tiger Gourd Paper-cut" on the door to ward off evil spirits.

5. The "Tiger Jumping Festival" of the Yi people is a tiger totem sacrificial dance that has been preserved to this day. It is a dance that imitates a series of actions such as production, life and reproduction of primitive human beings, offering sacrifices to the tiger god and praying for the blessing of ancestors.
