The Dragon Boat Festival is the first of the nine poisonous days, so people should drink realgar wine on the Dragon Boat Festival.Legend has it that after Qu Yuan jumped into the river, people in his hometown threw rice dumplings and salted eggs into the river to prevent a dragon from eating his body. An old doctor brought a jar of realgar wine and poured it into the river, saying that it could drug the fish and dragons and protect Qu Yuan. After a while, a dragon really emerged from the water. So people pulled the dragon ashore, pulled out its tendons, peeled off its skin, and then wrapped the dragon tendons around the wrists and necks of the children. They then smeared their seven orifices with realgar wine, thinking that this would protect the children from harm by insects and snakes. It is said that this is the origin of drinking realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival. To this day, many places in my country have the habit of drinking realgar wine. In ancient times, people firmly believed that realgar and realgar wine could ward off evil spirits and kill all kinds of poisons. In the Legend of the White Snake, there is a plot where White Snake accidentally drinks realgar wine on the Dragon Boat Festival and reveals her true form. In the pre-Qin era, May was regarded as a poisonous month and the fifth day was regarded as an evil day. It was said that on this day, evil was in power, and the five poisons appeared, harming the world. Therefore, the ancients regarded this day as an epidemic prevention festival to avoid plague and poison.
