Purification: refers to getting rid of disasters and diseases. It was performed by witches in ancient times to get rid of bad luck. Hot spring bathing was popular during the Tang and Song dynasties. In the past, people would bathe by the water or river, wash the body with orchids, and nod their heads and bodies with willow branches dipped in water containing flower petals. This was a ritual to get rid of disasters and offer blessings. Because it was the time of season change and the negative energy had not yet retreated, people were prone to illness, so they should wash themselves by the water. The so-called "禊" means "cleanliness", so "祓禊" is a ritual to eliminate pathogenic factors through self-cleansing.
"Si" means "good fortune", which means getting rid of the pathogenic factors and praying for the coming of blessings (Fengsu Tongyi·Sidian·Xixi) This view is shared by many scholars. For example, modern scholar Wu Bing'an believes that the original meaning of the festival is "an ancient health care custom of the ancients to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate plague in spring. In ancient times, the purpose of the festival was to exorcise evil spirits and avoid disasters. The actual reason was that the river water was too cold in winter, and the water temperature in early March was just right, so people were eager to take their first bath after wintering.
