Different festivals have different suitable things to do, so the taboos are also different. So, let’s take a look at the Dragon Boat Festival taboos based on the 24 solar terms: What can’t you do during the Dragon Boat Festival? The fifth month of the lunar calendar has entered the middle of summer, which is the peak summer season. Therefore, the fifth month of the lunar calendar is known as the poisonous month.

Taboo 2: Sexual intercourse Ancient teachings strictly forbid sexual intercourse during the Dragon Boat Festival and stipulate that from the first to the fifth day of May, women should return to their parents' homes and spend the days there. Husbands and wives should separate and this day is designated as the "Returning Home Day." Taboo 3: Participating in festive events Some festive activities or moving, taking office, starting construction, etc. are not suitable to be carried out on this day. Instead, this day is best for family reunion. Taboo 4: Losing the sachet There is a folk saying that if a child’s sachet disappears on that day, the child may encounter disaster in the next year. After the Dragon Boat Festival, children can simply throw the sachets they are wearing into the river to avoid disasters. Taboo 5: Swimming in the river May is an "evil month" and Double Fifth is an unlucky day, so in some places swimming is not allowed on this day, especially swimming in places where people have drowned. Because on the Dragon Boat Festival, the "drowned ghosts" are the most ferocious, and they need to find a substitute to "return to life". What does the word "duan" in Dragon Boat Festival mean?End means: beginning, initialThe original meaning of the word "Duan" in "Dragon Boat Festival" is "zheng", and "Wu" means "zhong". "Dragon Boat Festival" also means "Zhongzheng". The noon time on this day is the exact middle of the day. The ancients used the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches as carriers. The Heavenly Stems carried the way of heaven, and the Earthly Branches carried the way of earth. The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches were set up to correspond to the fortunes of heaven, earth, and human affairs, and the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches were used for all eras. On the noon day of the noon month in midsummer, a flying dragon is in the sky. At this time, the dragon star is in the middle of the sky in the south, which is the most "central" position in the whole year's celestial movement. It is both "central" and "correct", a sign of great luck. The ancients have always advocated the path of moderation and righteousness, and the path of "moderation" is fully demonstrated here. In addition, "duan" also means "beginning", so the first noon day of May is also called the Dragon Boat Festival. |
