As a tragic memorial day, it does have special significance. For a long time, the Dragon Boat Festival has been celebrated in a serious and solemn manner, which has also given rise to many taboos. In the eyes of many people, since it is a memorial day, the scene should not be too celebratory. When people meet each other, they say "good health" instead of "happy".Among my country's traditional festivals, the Dragon Boat Festival originated from a festival. Traditional Chinese society was an agricultural society, and production and life were affected by changes in festivals. The Dragon Boat Festival is the season when the weather changes from cold to hot. During this period, people are prone to illness due to the weather. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival was originally created because people used many activities to dispel evil spirits and avoid illness. 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. In fact, the Dragon Boat Festival can be said to be happy, so when a friend says, "Happy Dragon Boat Festival", please don't immediately blame or correct him or her. Because we are all here for a good wish, just to let you have a good rest, spend time with your family, and have a happy holiday during this rare holiday in 365 days. As for whether she used "health" or "happiness", all we need to know is that they are good wishes. What is Dragon Boat Festival in English?The Dragon Boat Festival in English is the Dragon Boat FestivalThe fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar is the Dragon Boat Festival. "Duan" means the beginning or the beginning; "Wu" means that in ancient times, months were recorded by the Earthly Branches. The first month of the year was the first month of the year Yin, and so the fifth month was the first month of the year Wu, hence the term "Wu month". The word "Dragon Boat Festival" first appeared in the "Fengtu Ji" of the Jin Dynasty, but the custom has existed long ago. It was already a festival in the Han Dynasty. Before the Tang Dynasty, the commonly used name was "May 5th". After the Tang Dynasty, Dragon Boat Festival replaced other names such as "May 5th" and became the mainstream name. Whenever the Dragon Boat Festival comes, hanging mugwort leaves, hanging calamus, wearing sachets, drinking realgar wine and tying five-colored silk have become traditional customs in accordance with the will of heaven. Eating rice dumplings and dragon boat racing carry deeper cultural connotations and humanistic feelings. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
