What day of the lunar calendar is the Dragon Boat Festival? Is the Dragon Boat Festival divided into the Big Dragon Boat Festival and the Small Dragon Boat Festival?
Speaking of the Dragon Boat Festival, I believe everyone is familiar with it. As a traditional festival of our country, the Dragon Boat Festival also has a very important status. So, let’s take a look at which day of the lunar calendar is the Dragon Boat Festival? The fifth month of the lunar calendar is a time when spring is coming to an end but summer is yet to begin. Mr. Shui Mo takes you to experience every day of the fifth lunar month of 2021.Dragon Boat Festival Introduction:The Dragon Boat Festival was originally a festival created by our ancestors for worshiping the dragon ancestor, praying for blessings and warding off evil spirits. It is said that Qu Yuan, a poet from the Chu State during the Warring States Period, committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River on May 5. Later, people also regarded the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan.What day of the lunar calendar is the Dragon Boat Festival?The Dragon Boat Festival is on the fifth day of the fifth month in the lunar calendar.The Dragon Boat Festival was originally called Duanwu. The Dragon Boat Festival is one of our biggest traditional festivals and occupies a very important position in our country. The "duan" in Dragon Boat Festival actually has the same meaning as "chu". And "Duanwu" means the fifth day of the first lunar month. In addition, "wu" and "wu" have the same pronunciation. From the perspective of the lunar calendar, the fifth month of the lunar calendar also belongs to noon, and the five elements are fire. In addition, noon is the "Yang Chen", so the Dragon Boat Festival is also called "Duan Yang". On May 5th, both the month and the day are five, so it is called the Double Fifth, also known as the Double Fifth. That's why it is called the Dragon Boat Festival. Is the Dragon Boat Festival divided into the Big Dragon Boat Festival and the Small Dragon Boat Festival?Yes, the Dragon Boat Festival can be divided into the Big Dragon Boat Festival and the Small Dragon Boat Festival.In some places (such as Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou and other regions), the fifth day of May is called the Small Dragon Boat Festival, and the fifteenth day of May is called the Big Dragon Boat Festival. It is said that there are three Dragon Boat Festivals in Zigui, Hubei, Qu Yuan's hometown: "The First Dragon Boat Festival" on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, "The Big Dragon Boat Festival" on the fifteenth day of the fifth lunar month, and "The Last Dragon Boat Festival" on the twenty-fifth day of the fifth lunar month. In the areas of Chenxi, Mayang, Luxi, Yuanling and Xupu in western Hunan, people rarely celebrated the fifth day of May in the past. Instead, they usually celebrated the 15th day of May, which the people of Chenxi called "the 15th day of May" (they called the Mid-Autumn Festival "the 15th day of August" or "the 15th day of August"). Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival is divided into the Big Dragon Boat Festival and the Small Dragon Boat Festival. |
