As one of the "Four Elegant Flowers and Grasses", calamus is graceful, green and fragrant, and is deeply loved by people.2. Evil Month Why is May also called the “Evil Month”? Because the weather is hot and dry in this month, people are prone to illness and plagues. In addition, snakes and insects multiply and can easily bite people, so people have to be very careful.

What are the customs of this month?1. Burying flowers During this month, all flowers gradually wither, and in some places there is a custom of sending flowers to the god of flowers. However, many places no longer do this, but "Daiyu Burying Flowers" is very representative. In ancient my country, agriculture and nature were given great importance, and burying flowers was mainly one of the ways to send gifts to the flower gods and pray for better fortune.2. Boiling plums: Most areas in the southern region have the custom of boiling green plums. Boiling green plums can improve qi and blood, eliminate fatigue, beautify the skin and have many other benefits. There are records of boiling green plum wine in the ancient Three Kingdoms period. Some also say that because green plums taste too sour, the custom of boiling green plums has developed. I wonder if there is a custom of cooking plums in your hometown? Taboos in the fifth month of the lunar calendarAvoid swimming in the fifth month of the lunar calendar! In some places, swimming is prohibited during this month, especially in places where people have drowned. It is also best not to swim during the Dragon Boat Festival. Why? Because people believe that "drowned ghosts" are the most vicious on the Dragon Boat Festival and need to find a substitute to "resurrect", there is a custom of throwing zongzi into the river. In fact, people regard zongzi as substitutes for people and pray for peace. |
