——Dragon Boat Festival is a festival, so it is right to say "Happy" <br /> Among the traditional festivals in China, the origin of Dragon Boat Festival is a festival. Traditional Chinese society is an agricultural society, and production and life will be affected by the changes of festivals. Dragon Boat Festival is the festival when the weather changes from cold to hot.
During this period, people are prone to illness due to the weather, so the Dragon Boat Festival was originally created because people used many activities to dispel evil spirits and avoid getting sick.
Legends such as commemorating Qu Yuan were combined with this tradition later. So tracing back to the source, the Dragon Boat Festival is a festival created by people to pray for a happy life. There is nothing wrong with saying "happy" on the Dragon Boat Festival.
——Saying “well-being” instead of “happiness” is nitpicking <br /> Saying “well-being” or “happiness” on Dragon Boat Festival is not wrong. What kind of blessing words to say on festivals mainly depends on the demand for this festival. There is no need to be one-size-fits-all.

In Guangdong, the object of worship on the Dragon Boat Festival is the dragon in the water. Everyone celebrates the Dragon Boat Festival happily, racing dragon boats and eating dragon boat meals.
——Evolved into a happy festival custom of wishing happiness <br /> The Dragon Boat Festival customs handed down now are mostly said to be originated from commemorating Qu Yuan, so it makes sense that people do not wish each other happiness but good health on the Dragon Boat Festival.
It's just that this festive atmosphere has evolved into a more enjoyable festival through dragon boat racing, eating delicious rice dumplings, and gatherings with family and friends, and most people have become accustomed to wishing people happiness.
——Now it is given the meaning of relaxation <br /> The Dragon Boat Festival was originally given the meaning of the summer solstice. Later, before the division of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the legend of Qu Yuan began to spread in Chu, and the meaning of commemorating Qu Yuan was also given to the Dragon Boat Festival.
