This strange beast appeared in the New Year's Eve, and kept moving like the wind, destroying folk crops including rice, vegetables and so on.

Villagers negotiate to eliminate the "Year Beast" wise offer, with bamboo strips and paper, tied into the shape of a miracle beast and colored. With various shapes of cloth such as square, triangle weave into animal body, and then gather more than ten warriors, holding pots and other beating tools, and by one person holding a double kitchen knife, standing next to a round anvil ready to hit. They lay in ambush under the bridge, which is the place where the animals must go. When the beast appeared, all the warriors rushed out and beat the instruments to make "clang" and "clang" sounds, such as thunder piercing through the ear. When the beast saw it, he was shocked and defeated, and was never seen again. In order to celebrate the success of the deportation of the beast and commemorate the merits of paper piercing the beast's head, villagers can easily shake it out in the New Year.
