In Hebei, there is a special event on this day, that is, "walking the bridge", also called "walking all diseases" and "sending all diseases".This is a custom of avoiding disaster avoidance.On the same day, no matter men, women, and children, they will go out and walk to the bridge.Some elderly people even wear a cypress branch to their children before going out, and they will throw away the "100 diseases" when they walk halfway. I hope that the family can be healthy and safe, and they can avoid the suffering of the disease for a year.
