Everything is new in early summer, and the beautiful scenery is in the fifth month of the lunar calendar. Mr. Shui Mo will interpret the fifth month of the lunar calendar in 2021 with you.Is the Dragon Boat Festival in 2021 an auspicious day?No, the Dragon Boat Festival in 2021 is Yang Gong’s unlucky anniversary, not an auspicious day.In fact, not only the Dragon Boat Festival in 2021, but every Dragon Boat Festival is Yang Gong’s death anniversary. The so-called Yang Gong's taboo days refer to: According to legend, Yang Yunsong, the Feng Shui master in the Tang Dynasty, set the "Yang Gong's Thirteen Taboos" according to the sequential numbers of the "Twenty-Eight Constellations". These thirteen "forbidden days" are the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the eleventh day of the second lunar month , the ninth day of the third lunar month, the seventh day of the fourth lunar month, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the third day of the sixth lunar month, the first day of the seventh lunar month, the twenty-ninth day of the seventh lunar month, the twenty-seventh day of the eighth lunar month, the twenty-fifth day of the ninth lunar month, the twenty-third day of the tenth lunar month, the twenty-first day of the eleventh lunar month, and the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. "Yang Gong's Thirteen Taboos" have been valued by Xuan Kong school since ancient times. In the eyes of Xuan Kong school, these thirteen days must not be chosen for opening a business, starting construction, getting married, signing a contract, etc. The Dragon Boat Festival is on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year, which is also one of Yang Gong's thirteen taboo days. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival is not an auspicious day, but also one of Yang Gong's taboo days. Is Dragon Boat Festival the Five Poisonous Day?Yes, the Dragon Boat Festival is also known as the Five Poisonous Days.A folk song says: "On the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is hot, the 'five poisons' wake up, and there is restlessness." The Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May is considered the first of the "nine poisons", so many special customs for exorcising evil spirits, disinfecting and avoiding epidemics have been passed down among the people. The Dragon Boat Festival drives away the "five poisons" to remind people to pay attention to disease prevention. Avoiding the "five poisons" is the original intention of celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival. In fact, the main reason is that the period before and after the Dragon Boat Festival is also the early summer season. The weather is relatively hot, and it is also rainy and humid, so it is easier for mosquitoes to breed, and it is a high incidence period of infectious diseases. In order to avoid the occurrence of diseases, people weave mugwort into the shape of a tiger, which is said to be able to deter insects, drive away evil spirits and prevent plague. Therefore, the ancients believed that the Dragon Boat Festival was the month of the five poisons. The weather was hot, plagues were prevalent, people were prone to illness, and they needed to drive away poisons and avoid evil spirits. Couples had to restrain their sexual life to maintain sufficient body resistance. During this festival, adults usually drink realgar wine and calamus wine, and children wear scented purses and pick herbs. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival can really be regarded as a traditional medicine and health festival. It is a festival for the people to fight against diseases and poisonous insects. It should continue to be carried forward and passed on. Is the Dragon Boat Festival one of the four major traditional festivals?Yes, the Dragon Boat Festival is also one of the four major traditional festivals.The Dragon Boat Festival is known as one of China's four major traditional festivals, along with the Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Mid-Autumn Festival.

In May 2006, the State Council included it in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list; since 2008, it has been listed as a national statutory holiday. In September 2009, UNESCO officially approved its inclusion in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, making the Dragon Boat Festival the first Chinese festival to be included in the world's intangible cultural heritage. |
