Please continue to pay attention to Mr. Shui Mo's website for more content related to the fifth month of the lunar calendar in 2019!What do we need to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival?1. Make ZongziIn ancient times, in order to commemorate Qu Yuan who jumped into the river, people in Jingchu would cook glutinous rice or steam rice dumplings and throw them into the river on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. To prevent the rice from being eaten by fish, people came up with the idea of wrapping the rice in rice dumplings leaves and wrapping them with colored silk. Later, eating rice dumplings became a custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. Zongzi is made of glutinous rice, yellow rice and jujube, commonly known as "two-rice zongzi". 2. Hanging mugwort On the Dragon Boat Festival, people will hang mugwort or calamus in front of the courtyard gate and under the eaves of the house. Mosquitoes are afraid of the smell and it can have a mosquito repellent effect. Because the leaves of calamus are shaped like swords, the ancients called it "water sword" and said it could "cut off thousands of evil spirits." People would carve calamus into shapes such as "little people" and "small gourds" and hang them around children's necks for good luck. It is also hung on the door lintel to exorcise demons and ghosts. 3. Make Five Poison Cakes The Dragon Boat Festival is close to the summer solstice. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, bacteria are breeding, and people are prone to heatstroke and illness. Therefore, the ancients ate Five Poison Cakes to eliminate diseases and strengthen their bodies. It is said that eating the Five Poison Cakes can enhance immunity, kill insects and avoid disasters. 4. Collect the Five Poisons During the Dragon Boat Festival, girls wear a "缯子" on their chests. It is said that this kind of cloth sewn with colorful silk threads and shaped like a rice dumpling can ward off evil. The boy hangs a gourd around his neck with the "Five Poisonous Creatures" pattern inside, which means he has "collected" the five poisonous creatures. 5. Paste gourd flowers Because gourd is the homonym of "Fu Lu" (blessings and fortune). In ancient times, people would cut gourds out of red rough paper with patterns of the "Five Poisonous Creatures" inside, which were called "gourd flowers". They would be posted on May 1st and taken down and thrown away at noon on May 5th, which was called "throwing away disasters". 6. Drink some realgar wine There is also a custom of drinking realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival. The word "王" (king) will be written on the forehead of a boy, and five dots will be put on the head of a girl. People believe that mosquitoes and flies will be killed by the realgar wine, thus warding off evil and avoiding harm.
