Dragon Boat Festival Customs: Casting Yang Sui
Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty recorded the ritual custom of "casting Yangsui" on the Dragon Boat Festival in "Lunheng": "Yangsui is taken from the sky at noon on the Bingwu day of May. Five kinds of stones are melted and cast into a vessel. When it is rubbed to produce light, it is faced towards the sun, and fire will come. This is the way to get real fire."
The ancients believed that the noon hour in the noon month and noon day was the time when the Yang energy was at its peak. At this moment, fire could overcome gold, and it was the best time to melt gold and cast a bronze mirror. The cast bronze mirror had incredible magical powers.
The custom of using mirrors to ward off evil spirits is widely used and inherited in the coastal areas of the south. It is common to see newborn babies wearing silver mirrors and other ornaments. These small silver mirrors are used to ward off evil spirits for children.
Newly built temples and Taoist temples are often decorated with bronze mirrors in the center of their roofs. Even above the doors and windows of new buildings in modern communities, you can often find mirrors hanging. These are used to ward off evil spirits.
This shows that the cultural belief that mirrors can ward off evil spirits is deeply rooted among the people.
