Celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional custom of the Chinese nation since ancient times. Due to the vast territory and many stories and legends, there are not only many different festival names, but also different customs in different places.The Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer is a festival in which the dragon ascends to heaven. Offering sacrifices to the dragon in the form of dragon boat racing is an important ritual theme of the Dragon Boat Festival and this custom is still popular in the coastal areas of southern my country. In addition, a series of Dragon Boat Festival customs have been derived from the art of yin and yang and the seasons. According to the art of Yin and Yang, noon is Yang, and the double noon is the extreme Yang; the Big Dipper points due south, the hexagram is Li, the heavenly stems are Bing and Ding, the earthly branches are Wu, and the five elements belong to fire. It is the midsummer month, when all things grow and their momentum is at its peak. The ancients regarded the noon time on the Dragon Boat Festival, when three noons occur simultaneously, as the most yang time and the best way to ward off evil spirits. The ancients also regarded the Dragon Boat Festival falling on the summer solstice as an auspicious year, calling it the "Dragon Flower Festival", and there is a saying that "the Dragon Flower Festival only happens once in a thousand years". Summer is the season when Yin and Yang are in conflict with each other, with Yang moving above and Yin pressing below. The pure Yang energy of the noon month is what Yin evil fears. Summer is also a season for eliminating plague. The Yang energy is strong during the Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer, and all things flourish at this time. It is the day when herbs have the strongest medicinal properties in the year. The herbs collected on this day are the most efficacious and effective in curing diseases and preventing epidemics. Due to the fact that the pure yang energy of heaven and earth gathers on the Dragon Boat Festival, which is most beneficial for warding off evil spirits, and the herbs on this day have magical properties, many Dragon Boat Festival customs passed down from ancient times include warding off evil spirits and curing diseases and preventing epidemics, such as hanging mugwort, noon water, soaking dragon boat water, tying five-colored silk threads to ward off evil spirits, washing with herbal water, fumigating Atractylodes lancea to cure diseases and prevent epidemics, and so on. The main customs of the Dragon Boat Festival include dragon boat racing, dragon sacrifice, herbal medicine collection, hanging mugwort and calamus, worshiping gods and ancestors, washing with herbal water, fetching noon water, soaking in dragon boat water, eating rice dumplings, flying kites, watching dragon boats, tying five-color silk threads, fumigating with Atractylodes lancea, wearing sachets, etc. Dragon boat racing is very popular along the southern coastal areas of China. After it spread abroad, it was loved by people from all over the world and became an international competition. |
