What are the five reds and five yellows of the Dragon Boat Festival?
The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Dragon Boat Festival, the Double Fifth Festival, the Mid-day Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Zhengyang Festival, the Orchid Bathing Festival, the Tianzhong Festival, etc. What are the five reds of the Dragon Boat Festival and what are the five yellows of the Dragon Boat Festival? Chinese people believe that the fifth month of the lunar calendar is a poisonous month, and the Dragon Boat Festival is the first of the nine poisonous days. For more relevant information about the fifth month of the lunar calendar in 2019, please visit Mr. Shui Mo's website!What are the five reds of the Dragon Boat Festival?There are many versions of the "Five Reds" commonly mentioned by Nanjing people, the main ones referring to "roast duck, amaranth, red oil duck eggs, lobster, and realgar wine."Roast duck: Duck meat is rich in 8 essential amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids and various nutrients for the human body. Each gram of duck meat contains 1.781 micrograms of linoleic acid and 555 micrograms of taurine. It is easy to digest and absorb, lowers blood lipids, reduces blood viscosity, and has a preventive effect on diabetes and skin diseases caused by reduced immunity. Amaranth: It is the most "senior" of the "five reds". Pan Zongding of the Republic of China period recorded in "Jinling Sui Shi Ji" that in the past, people in Nanjing must eat amaranth on the Dragon Boat Festival, which is said to avoid abdominal pain. Red Oil Duck Eggs: One of the “Five Reds”. Around the Qingming Festival, ordinary families begin to pickle a batch of duck eggs, because at this time "Qingming eggs are good as a meal." The duck eggs are pickled until the Dragon Boat Festival, and they are just the right amount of salty and just right for eating. The best salted duck eggs have red flesh and are the best source of calcium in the summer. Lobster: It has been included in the “Five Reds” for the shortest time. It has been on Nanjing residents’ tables since the 1970s, slowly replacing “fried shrimp” and becoming the new favorite among the “Five Reds”. The amino acid composition of lobster is of higher quality than that of meat. It contains 8 essential amino acids that are necessary for the human body but cannot be synthesized in the body or are synthesized in insufficient amounts. Realgar wine: The custom of drinking realgar wine is related to driving away the five poisons. Ancient people believed that realgar could control snakes, scorpions and other insects. Realgar wine is wine made by soaking realgar that has been ground into powder. Realgar, as a traditional Chinese medicine, can be used as an antidote and pesticide, so the ancients believed that realgar can control the five poisons. What are the five yellows of the Dragon Boat Festival?The "Five Yellows" are cucumber, yellow eel, yellow croaker, salted egg yolk, and realgar wine (there are different opinions, some people also consider yellow plum and yellow mud snail as one of the Five Yellows. Because realgar is poisonous, it is rare to add realgar to white wine nowadays. Nowadays, yellow wine is more common instead of realgar wine).Cucumber: Cucumber is sweet, cool, bitter, non-toxic, and enters the spleen, stomach, and large intestine meridians. It has the effects of removing heat, promoting diuresis, clearing away heat and detoxifying. Eel: The eels during the Dragon Boat Festival are plump and round, with tender and delicious meat and rich nutrition. They not only taste good but also have nourishing functions. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that "eels during the Dragon Boat Festival are better than ginseng." Yellow croaker: The large yellow croaker has a golden body and vermilion lips, and people have endowed it with a cultural coloration of wealth and peace. The people of eastern Fujian have a long-standing custom of giving large yellow croaker as a premium gift to their loved ones, and this custom is especially prevalent during the Dragon Boat Festival. Salted egg yolk: Salted egg yolk is not as seasonal as eel, yellow croaker and cucumber, but because it has the word “yellow” in its name, it has also become one of the “five yellows”. Eating salted egg yolks during the Dragon Boat Festival symbolizes health and safety. Realgar wine: Realgar is warm in nature and spicy in taste. It can dry out dampness, kill insects and detoxify. It can be used externally clinically to treat snake and insect bites, neurodermatitis, etc. Fate is a constant, referring to a specific object; fortune is a variable, referring to the transformation of time and space.
