What activities are good for Dragon Boat Festival?

1. Eat Zongzi
The Dragon Boat Festival is also known as the Zongzi Festival. The custom of eating zongzi has been passed down in my country for thousands of years.
Zongzi, also known as "zongzang", is commonly known as zongzi. The main ingredients are glutinous rice and fillings. It is wrapped in reed leaves (or hollyhock leaves) and has various shapes, including pointed and square. Zongzi has a long history and was originally used as an offering to ancestor gods. After being introduced to the north, millet (millet is produced in the north) was used to make rice dumplings, which were called "Jiaoshu". Due to different eating habits in different places, rice dumplings have formed northern and southern flavors; in terms of taste, there are two types of rice dumplings: salty and sweet.
2. Dragon Boat Race
Legend has it that the custom of dragon boat racing is related to Qu Yuan. In fact, there are many versions. It is possible that after Qu Yuan, Cao E, Wu Zixu and others passed away, local people used soul boats to send their souls back for burial, so this custom came into being. But in addition to commemorating Qu Yuan, people in different places have also given different meanings to dragon boat racing.
Before the dragon boat race, one must first invite the dragon and offer sacrifices to the gods. For example, the Guangdong dragon boats are pulled out of the water before the Dragon Boat Festival. After offering sacrifices to the God of the South China Sea in the South China Sea Temple, the dragon head and tail are installed before preparing for the race. They also buy a pair of paper roosters and place them on the dragon boat, believing that they can protect the boat from harm. People in Fujian and Taiwan go to Mazu temples to worship. Some people offer sacrifices to the dragon head directly by the river, killing chickens and dripping their blood on the dragon head, such as in some areas of Sichuan, Guizhou and so on. 3. Mulan Soup
Mu Lan Tang is the herbal water used for washing on the Dragon Boat Festival, and this custom still exists today. According to folk customs, the yang energy is strong at noon on the Dragon Boat Festival, and this is the day when the medicinal properties of plants are the strongest in the year, and medicines are everywhere on the Dragon Boat Festival. During the Dragon Boat Festival, many places in my country have the custom of collecting herbs and boiling herbal water for bathing. The medicinal properties of Dragon Boat Festival herbs play a vital role in this.
In Guangdong, children use water boiled with bitter grass, barley grass, mugwort, cattail, balsam pear, white magnolia and other flowers to wash. Teenagers and adult men go to rivers or the seaside to take a shower, which is called washing with dragon boat water to wash away bad luck. In Hunan, Guangxi and other places, cypress leaves, wormwood, calamus, peach leaves, etc. are boiled into medicine for bathing. The whole family, regardless of gender, age or status, takes a bath. The custom of bathing during the Dragon Boat Festival still exists today and is widely popular. It is said to cure skin diseases and remove evil spirits.
4. Drink realgar wine
The Dragon Boat Festival is the most important festival in the fifth month of the lunar calendar. Since May is also known as the "poison month", "eliminating poison" is also the most important traditional activity during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Among them, drinking realgar wine is the main one. The medicinal ingredients include realgar, calamus, cypress seeds, peach kernels, cattail leaves, mugwort, etc. People soak them in wine and then sprinkle them on the corners of walls, doors and windows, under the bed, etc., and then use wine to apply to the ears, noses, and navels of children to drive away poisonous insects and pray for the safety of the children. In addition, in some areas, people use realgar wine powder to draw the word "王" on children's foreheads, so that the children bear the mark of a tiger and use the tiger to ward off evil spirits. From a health perspective, these activities make scientific sense. Realgar, water and wine can be added to the realgar and sprinkled indoors to disinfect and kill bacteria. Drinking cattail spray is also quite beneficial.
