Why do we hang mugwort during the Dragon Boat Festival?1. Reasons for hanging mugwort during the Dragon Boat Festival: The first reason is to repel mosquitoes. Mugwort contains some volatile substances, and mosquitoes are very sensitive to such substances. Generally, mosquitoes will not actively provoke mugwort, but the smell of mugwort is not as strong as imagined. If you want to fill the entire courtyard with such volatile substances to repel mosquitoes, putting a little mugwort at the door will not have any effect.2. Reasons for hanging mugwort during the Dragon Boat Festival: praying for blessings and exorcising evil spirits . This is because the traditional rituals have been passed down and play the role of praying for blessings. In ancient times, there was more rain during the Dragon Boat Festival, and all parts of the country had entered the flood season. Ancient people attributed this situation to the creation of water monsters, and the leaves of mugwort were shaped like swords and could have a deterrent effect. Of course, these are all superstitious ideas, but people's beautiful tradition of praying has indeed been preserved. Dragon Boat Festival Customs: Dragon Boat RacingDragon boat racing is an important activity of the Dragon Boat Festival. It is an ancient ritual of worshiping the dragon totem and a legacy of custom.According to the "First Excavation Report of Hemudu Site", as early as 7,000 years ago, ancient ancestors had carved canoes out of single logs and added wooden oars for rowing. The dragon boat was originally a canoe made of a single piece of wood with a dragon shape carved on it. Later it developed into a dragon-shaped boat made of wooden boards. Dragon boat racing has a long history and is a collective paddling competition involving multiple people. The dragon boat race is divided into several sections, including inviting the dragon, offering sacrifices to the dragon god, parading the dragon and collecting the dragon. 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.
