It is known as the Dragon Boat Festival, the Double Fifth Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Duanwu Festival, the Double Fifth Festival, the Dangwu Festival, the Tianzhong Festival, the Summer Festival, the Ai Festival, the Shangri-La Festival, the May Festival, the Calamus Festival, the Tianyi Festival, the Herb Festival, the Bathing Orchid Festival, the Daughters' Festival, the Noon Day Festival, the Dila Festival, the Zhengyang Festival, the Dragon Day Festival, the Zongzi Festival, the Five Yellow Festival, the Poets Festival, Qu Yuan Day, the Hidden Noon Festival, the Zongzi Festival, the Duanli Festival, the Fifth of May, and the Noon of May . 1. Shangri: In some places, the Dragon Boat Festival is called "Shangri", which means God's day, and also means a good day or a festival. 2. Dragon Festival: In ancient times, the Dragon Boat Festival was a festival for worshiping dragons. During the Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer, the "Dragon Flying in the Sky" - the main star of the Canglong, "Da Huo" (Antares), hangs high in the south sky, and the dragon energy (yang energy) is strong. The "dragon" mentioned in the hexagram of "The Book of Changes" is actually an explanation of the movement of the seven stars of the blue dragon throughout the year. 3. Double Fifth Festival: The ancient Ganzhi calendar system uses the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches as the carriers of the calendar. Originally, the Dragon Boat Festival fell on the day of the Wu month in the Ganzhi calendar. The first month was the Yin month, and the fifth month was the Wu month. The day of the Wu month was called the Double Fifth Festival. During the Han Dynasty, due to the unification of the north and the south and changes in the calendar, the imperial court decreed that the Dragon Boat Festival be changed to the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in order to facilitate the celebration of the festival. 4. Tianzhong Festival: The Dragon Boat Festival is around the summer solstice, when the sun’s direct point is over the Tropic of Cancer and the sun’s position in the sky is at the center of the year, so it is called Tianzhong. Tian Rucheng of the Ming Dynasty wrote in "Xihu Youlan Zhiyu·Volume 20·Xichao Leshi": "The Dragon Boat Festival is the Mid-Heaven Festival because the sun reaches its highest point at noon, especially at noon." 5. Dragon Boat Festival: Ancient people would use boats to worship the dragon ancestor during the Dragon Boat Festival. They often painted dragon images on their boats as a totem or patron saint of the tribe, which led to the custom of dragon boat racing, and the Dragon Boat Festival was therefore named Dragon Boat Festival. 6. Dangwuxun: In some areas of Shanghai (such as Fengxian, Nanhui, etc.), the Dragon Boat Festival is usually called "dangwuxun", and some areas call it "May Dangwu". 7. Hiding from the Dragon Boat Festival: The fifth month of the lunar calendar was called the "evil month" in ancient times, so in some places on the Dragon Boat Festival, parents would send children under one year old to their grandmother's house to hide from evil. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival is known as the "Hiding from the Noon Festival". 8. Daughter's Day: "Wan Shu Miscellaneous Notes" by Chen Bang of the Ming Dynasty: "Daughter's Day in May, people tie the Dragon Boat Festival rope, wear moxa leaves and five poisonous spirit talismans. Wan custom is to dress up little girls from the first to the fifth day of May, and make them look their best. Married girls also return to their parents' home, so it is called Daughter's Day." 9. Dilala Festival: Taoism divides the whole year into five La festivals, the first day of the first lunar month is Tianla Festival, and the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is Dilala Festival. According to "The Jade Book of the Supreme Purity of the Heavenly Emperor" and "The Seven Notes on the Clouds", the fifth day of the fifth month is called Di La, the day when the Five Emperors gather in the Sanqi Dantian in the south to check the good and evil deeds of the ancestors of the living and their descendants, in order to determine their sins and blessings and adjust the official ranks of the living. Taoism believes that several La days in a year are auspicious days, suitable for worshiping ancestors and gods to obtain blessings. 10. Orchid Bathing Festival: The Dragon Boat Festival is in midsummer, a season when skin diseases are prevalent, and the Dragon Boat Festival is the day when the medicinal properties of plants are the strongest in the year. Therefore, the herbs collected on the Dragon Boat Festival are the most effective in treating skin diseases and removing evil spirits. Therefore, people have the custom of collecting herbs and boiling water for bathing on the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Dragon Boat Festival is called the Orchid Bathing Festival. 11. Calamus Festival and Mugwort Festival: The ancients believed that calamus and mugwort could ward off evil spirits. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the yang energy is strong, so mugwort and calamus grow vigorously. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, people have the custom of hanging calamus or mugwort on the door to ward off evil spirits. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival is also called the "Calamus Festival" and the "Mugwort Festival." Can we row dragon boats during the Dragon Boat Festival? Do you want to know your own Bazi?
