They form the parade-in-the-air and are all secured within steel frames, though they appear to glide through the air.

Its purpose is to curse one's enemies using magic. Villain hitting is often considered a humble career, and the ceremony is often performed by older ladies.
The Ceremony:
Receiving orders from clients, villain hitters require human-shaped papers with or without some information of specific people. As part of the ceremony, they beat the papers with shoes or other implements. The whole ceremony of villain hitting is divided into 8 parts:
1. Sacrifi-ce to divinities : Worship of deities by Incense and Candle.
2. Report: Writing down the name and the date of birth of the client on the Fulu . If the client requests to hit a specific villain, then write down or put the name, date of birth, photo or clothings of the specific villain on the villain paper.
3. Villain hitting: Make use of a varieties of symbolic object such as the shoe of clients or the villain hitter or other religious symbolic weapons like incense sticks to hit or hurt the villain paper. Villain paper can also be replaced by other derivatives such as man paper, woman paper, five ghost paper etc.
4. Sacrifice to Bái Hǔ(tiger) : The hitters have to make sacrifice to Bái Hǔ if they want to hit the villain on Jingzhe. Use a yellow paper tiger to represent Bái Hǔ, there are black stripes on the paper tiger and a pair of tooth shapes in its mouth. During the sacrifice a small piece of pork is soaked with pig blood and then put inside the mouth of the paper tiger (to feed Bái Hǔ). Bái Hǔ won't hurt others after being fed. Sometimes they will also smear a greasy pork on Bái Hǔ's mouth to make its mouth full of oil and unable to open its mouth to hurt people. In some regional sacrifice the villain hitter would burn the paper tiger or cut off its head after making sacrifice to it.
5.Reconciliation
6. Pray for blessings: Use a red Gui Ren paper to pray for blessings and help from Gui Ren.
7. Treasure Burning : Burn the paper-made-treasure to worship the spirits.
8. Zhi Jiao : Zhi Jiao, to cast two crescent-shaped wooden pieces to undergo the Zhi Jiao ceremony.Villain hitting in Hong Kong 打小人 2023Asia HOT2023-03-06 | Beat your little head. 打你個小人頭。 Your work never go ahead. 打到你成世冇出頭。 Beat your little hand. 打你個小人手。 Your good luck come to the end. 等你冇鞋挽屐走。 Beat your little eye. 打你個小人眼。 Very soon you die. 等你成世都撞板。 Beat your little foot. 打你個小人腳。 Everything is no good 打到你冇鞋挽屐走。 Beat your little mouth. 打你個小人口。 You always have bad result. 打到你有氣冇碇唞。Our Hong Kong Story Miniature Exhibition 2023 香港大節日微型藝術展Asia HOT2023-02-14 | Stores and streets of old Hong Kong In Miniature.
