The customs of Shu are recorded: "On the twenty-fifth day, it is commonly said that the Heavenly Emperor descends, and everyone eats vegetarian and abstains from meat, and no fish or flesh is sold in the market."
This day is the day to welcome the Jade Emperor.
According to the people's saying, after the Kitchen God ascends to heaven, the Jade Emperor will descend to the Lower Realm on the twenty-fifth of the twelfth month to inspect the virtues and evils of the Human World, deciding the fortunes and disasters of the coming year. Therefore, every household offers sacrifices in prayer for blessings, calling it "Welcoming the Jade Emperor".
In short, on this day, one must be cautious in both speech and action.
People refrain from swearing, not to mention wielding knives to kill.
So, one could say that Tian Qi's death was not unjust.
It happened just the day before.
On this day, the snow was smaller, but still did not stop.
