Will there be one day off for the Dragon Boat Festival in 2021? Why is there no adjustment for the Dragon Boat Festival in 2021?
The Dragon Boat Festival is a statutory holiday, but not everyone knows whether the Dragon Boat Festival needs to be adjusted for a day off. So, let’s take a look at whether the Dragon Boat Festival will not be adjusted for a day off in 2021? The fifth month of the lunar calendar is usually called: Pu Yue, Midsummer, Super Summer, Pomegranate Yue, Yu Yue, Cicada, Tianzhong, Midsummer, and Gao Yue. More relevant knowledge about the fifth month of the lunar calendar in 2021 can be found on Shuimoxiansheng.com!Will there be one day off for the Dragon Boat Festival in 2021?Yes, the one-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday in 2021 will not be adjusted.According to the relevant notice of the General Office of the State Council, the Dragon Boat Festival holiday in 2021 will be a total of three days, including the weekend. The three days are June 12th, June 13th and June 14th. June 12th and June 13th are Saturday and Sunday respectively, and June 14th is the Dragon Boat Festival, which falls on a Monday. Because Saturday and Sunday are legal holidays, and including the one-day holiday for Dragon Boat Festival (Monday), there are a total of three days off. But apart from the weekend which is already a holiday, the Dragon Boat Festival in 2021 will be a one-day holiday. The Dragon Boat Festival holiday starts on June 12, 2021. The Dragon Boat Festival holiday ends on June 14, 2021. Because the weekend is a statutory weekend and the Dragon Boat Festival happens to be on Monday, the two are connected, so there is no need to adjust the holiday. Why is there no adjustment for the Dragon Boat Festival in 2021?The main reason why there is no holiday for the Dragon Boat Festival in 2021 is that the Dragon Boat Festival falls on Monday.Because the Dragon Boat Festival was not on a Monday before, but considering that many friends want to go back to their hometowns to visit relatives during the Dragon Boat Festival, they will have a three-day holiday by adjusting the day off. But in 2021, the Dragon Boat Festival falls on Monday, so including Saturday and Sunday, there will be a total of three days of holidays. Therefore, there is no need to adjust the holiday for the Dragon Boat Festival in 2021. Why is the Dragon Boat Festival considered an evil month and an evil day?It is believed that the Dragon Boat Festival originated from the "evil month and evil day" (see Zhang Xinqin's "The Dragon Boat Festival is not due to Qu Yuan"). During the Han Dynasty, the ancient people in the north believed that May 5th was an "evil month and evil day", and there was a custom of "not raising children born in May", that is, babies born on May 5th, whether male or female, could not be raised to adulthood. If raised, a boy would harm his father, and a girl would harm her mother. There are even sayings such as "If you take office in May, you will not be promoted even if you are exempted from office" and "Building a house in May will make you bald". Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty explained the custom of "not raising a child born on May 5th" in "Lun Heng": "The first month of the year begins, and the sun is at its peak in May. If a child is born in this month, his sperm will be hot and intense, which will overpower his parents. The parents will not be able to bear it and will suffer from it." It is generally believed that this custom has been popular since the Warring States Period. This custom is recorded in many books such as Lun Heng by Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Fengsu Tong by Ying Shao, and Book of the Later Han Dynasty. It is believed that May 5th is an unlucky month and day, so related cultural activities have emerged, forming distinctive customs such as "avoiding the five poisons" and "avoiding the Dragon Boat Festival". |
