What festival is on the fifth day of May in 2019? Is it the Dragon Boat Festival? What is the other name of the Dragon Boat Festival?
The summer in the fifth month of the lunar calendar is hot. What festival is on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar in 2019? Is it the Dragon Boat Festival? The "Book of Songs" records that "cicadas sing in May". Cicadas are the chirping cicadas. In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, summer cicadas sing, so it is called "singing cicadas". If you want to know about the auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of the fifth month of the lunar calendar in 2019, come and have a look at Mr. Shui Mo.Is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 2019 the Dragon Boat Festival?The word "Dragon Boat Festival" first appeared in "Fengtu Ji" of the Western Jin Dynasty: "The Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer is on May 5th. People attach great importance to this day, which is the same as the summer solstice." "Duan" in ancient Chinese means beginning or the beginning, so "Duanwu" is also called "the fifth day of the fifth month." "Shuowen Jiezi" says: "Duan means the beginning of things", which means that Duan means the beginning, so the fifth day of May is called "Duanwu Festival". "Yanjing Sui Shi Ji" says: "The fifth day of the fifth month is the single fifth day of the fifth month, which is probably the transliteration of the word "Duan". The ancients used to call the first few days of May "Duan". "Sui Shi Guang Ji" says: "The merchants in the capital city call the first day of May "Duan Yi", the second day "Duan Er", and the number of days up to the fifth day is called Duan Wu."Therefore, the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar every year is the traditional Chinese festival Dragon Boat Festival. The ancients used the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to record years, months, days and time. According to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches calendar, the fifth month is the "Noon Month". The noon day of the noon month is called "Double Noon", and the noon day is also called "Yang Chen", so the Dragon Boat Festival is also called "Duan Yang". What are the nicknames for the Dragon Boat Festival?The Dragon Boat Festival has many nicknames such as Dragon Boat Festival, Double Fifth Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Duanwu Festival, Double Fifth Festival, Dangwu Festival, Tianzhong Festival, Summer Festival, May Festival, Calamus Festival, Bathing Orchid Festival, Daughters' Festival, Noon Day Festival, Dila Festival, Zhengyang Festival, Dragon Day Festival, Zongzi Festival, Five Yellow Festival, Poets Festival, Qu Yuan Day, Avoiding Noon Festival, and Zongzi Festival.1. The noon day of the Dragon Boat Festival is "Yang Chen", the first noon day of the noon month, so it is called Duan Yang. "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" said: Because people climb high places in midsummer when the sun is in the sky, and May is midsummer, its first noon is the right day for climbing high places with good weather, so it is called the "Dragon Boat Festival". 2. The ancient Ganzhi calendar system of the Double Fifth Festival uses the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches as the carriers for the calendar. Originally, the Dragon Boat Festival fell on the day of the Wu month in the Ganzhi calendar. The first month was the Yin month, and the fifth month was the Wu month. The day of the Wu month was called the Double Fifth Festival. During the Han Dynasty, due to the unification of the north and the south and changes in the calendar, the imperial court decreed that the Dragon Boat Festival be changed to the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in order to facilitate the celebration of the festival. 3. Dragon Boat Festival Dragon boat racing was originally a form of sacrificial activity for the ancient Yue people to worship their dragon ancestor. Boats were common in Nanyue, and dragon images were often painted on the bow and stern of the boat as the totem or patron saint of the tribe. Dragon boat racing is an important activity during the Dragon Boat Festival and is very popular in southern China, especially in Guangdong. 4. Dragon Day Festival Dragon is the primitive belief of the ancient Yue people, which originated from the worship of celestial phenomena. The seven stars of the Eastern Azure Dragon rise in the east in spring, rise in the south in summer, set in the west in autumn and disappear in the north in winter. During the Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer, the blue dragon rises to the south center of the sky. It is the day when the dragon flies to the sky, so it is called the Dragon Festival. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the main star of the Canglong, Dahurik (Antares), hangs high in the south sky, and the dragon energy (yang energy) is strong. The Cantonese call the rain during the Dragon Boat Festival "dragon rain water" or "dragon boat water", and believe that this kind of water is auspicious water that can ward off evil spirits. 5. The Dragon Boat Festival is in midsummer, a season when skin diseases are prevalent. It was a custom in ancient times for people to bathe in orchid soup to remove dirt. The "Da Dai Li" of the Han Dynasty said: "Bathe in orchid soup at noon." 6. Calamus Festival: Ancient people believed that calamus had the effect of warding off evil spirits. During the Dragon Boat Festival, people would hang calamus on their doors to ward off evil spirits. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival is also called the "Calamus Festival." 7. Hiding from the Noon Festival May was called the "evil month" in the north in ancient times. So in some places, on the Dragon Boat Festival, parents would send children under one year old to their grandmother's house to hide from evil spirits, hence the name "Hiding from the Noon Festival." 8. The Daughter's Day was listed in the Ming Dynasty's "Wan Office Miscellaneous Notes": "In May, the Daughter's Day is celebrated, people tie the Dragon Boat Festival rope, wear moxa leaves and five poisonous talismans. In Wan, people dress up as little girls from the first to the fifth day of May, and do their best. Married girls also return to their parents' homes, so it is called the Daughter's Day." As the saying goes, "It is better to have good luck than a good fate." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing they can control is their "luck." Unpredictable events may happen, and people may suffer misfortunes at any time. Use Mr. Shui Mo's [Premium Calculation] function to learn more about your 2019 fortune! |
