Why is Dragon Boat Festival also Girls’ Day?Ming Chen Bang's "Wan Shu Miscellaneous Notes" said: "In May, the Girls' Day is celebrated. People tie the Dragon Boat Festival ropes, wear moxa leaves and five poisonous spirit talismans.According to Wan custom, from the first to the fifth day of May, little girls dress up to be the most exquisite. Married girls also return to their parents’ home, so it is called the Daughters’ Day. The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival: The taboo theory of the evil day It is believed that the Dragon Boat Festival originated from the "evil month and evil day" (see Zhang Xinqin's "The Dragon Boat Festival is not due to Qu Yuan"). In the north during the Han Dynasty, people believed that May 5th was an "evil month and evil day", and there was a custom of "not raising babies born in May". In other words, babies born on May 5th, whether male or female, could not be raised to adulthood. If raised, a boy would harm his father, and a girl would harm her mother. There are even sayings such as "If you take office in May, you will not be promoted even if you are exempted from office" and "Building a house in May will make you bald". Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty explained the custom of "not raising a child born on May 5th" in "Lun Heng": "The first month of the year begins, and the sun is at its peak in May. If a child is born in this month, his sperm will be hot and intense, which will overpower his parents. The parents will not be able to bear it and will suffer from it." It is generally believed that this custom has been popular since the Warring States Period. This custom is recorded in many books such as Lun Heng by Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Fengsu Tong by Ying Shao, and Book of the Later Han Dynasty. It is believed that May 5th is an unlucky month and day, so related cultural activities have emerged, forming distinctive customs such as "avoiding the five poisons" and "avoiding the Dragon Boat Festival".
