How to beat villains in Jingzhe

Prepare Supplies

Main supplies: A set of paper figurines includes a pair of paper figurines of a man and a woman, paper figurines, a white tiger, gold and silver, incense and candles, and offerings.

Offerings: prepare two bowls of rice, one piece of pork (for the white tiger), peanuts, fruits, wine, eggs, five-colored beans, rice, scissors, etc.

Special items: If you want to make a figurine with a name, cut it into the shape of the figurine in your mind, and write the figurine's name, time of birth, and address on the figurine. It would be even better if there is a photo, clothes, or hair.

Time and Place

On the day of the Jingzhe solar term, it is best to do it during the day, specifically between 11:00 and 15:00. The specific location is next to Shigandang and Sancha Road. Shi Gan Dang, also known as Taishan Shi Gan Dang, refers to a small stone tablet built outside houses or at the entrances of streets and alleys in ancient China. Beating a villain next to the Shi Gan Dang is one of the folk methods to exorcise evil spirits and ward off evil.
