What are the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival?Eat Zongzi during Dragon Boat Festival :It originated from the memorial service for Qu Yuan. Wu Jun's "Continued Records of the Strange Things of Qi" recorded that when Qu Yuan jumped into the water, "the people of Chu mourned for him, and to this day, they store rice in bamboo tubes and throw them into the water as a sacrifice to him." The purpose was to make the aquatic animals full so that they would no longer harm the poet's body. The custom of eating rice dumplings evolved from eating bamboo tube rice. Every family eats rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival. Zongzi is made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. In terms of appearance, there are triangular zongzi, one-cornered zongzi, square zongzi, and small zongzi tied into strings, which were called "Baisuo Zongzi" in the Tang Dynasty and "Jiuzi Zongzi" in the Song Dynasty. Eat five yellows during the Dragon Boat Festival : People in Hangzhou, Zhejiang call May the "Five Yellows" month. During the Dragon Boat Festival, they must eat five foods: realgar wine (a mixture of realgar and liquor with pu root added), rice wine, cucumber, salted duck egg yolk, and rice dumplings wrapped in soybeans. Since these five foods all contain the word "yellow", they are named "eating the five yellows". Dragon Boat Race on Dragon Boat Festival : Dragon boat racing is an important activity during the Dragon Boat Festival. It has a long history and is a collective paddling competition involving many people. Before a dragon boat race, a grand sacrificial ceremony is usually held, where the dragon is first invited and the gods are offered sacrifices. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, an auspicious day must be chosen to pull the dragon out from the water. After offering sacrifices to the gods, the dragon head and tail are installed and preparations are made for the dragon race. People in Fujian and Taiwan go to Mazu temples to worship. In the past, people held sacrifices to the Dragon God in a very solemn atmosphere, praying mostly for blessings, good weather, getting rid of evil spirits, warding off disasters, and everything going well. In Zigui, Qu Yuan's hometown in Hubei, there is also a dragon boat racing ceremony to commemorate Qu Yuan. |
