What is Dragon Boat Festival?

The Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar every year. It is known as one of the four major traditional festivals of the Han Chinese, along with the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.
The word "Duan" means "beginning", so "Duanwu" means "the fifth day of the first lunar month". According to the calendar, May is the "Wu" month, so "Duanwu" gradually became "Duanwu". "Yanjing Sui Shi Ji" records that "the fifth day of the fifth month is the transliteration of the word Duan."
According to the "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji", because people climb high places in midsummer when the sun is in the sky, and May is midsummer, its first noon is the day for climbing high places in the sky, so the fifth day of May is also called the "Dragon Boat Festival." In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival is also called "Muri Festival, May Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Bathing Orchid Festival", etc. The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional cultural festival popular in China and other countries in the Chinese cultural circle.
The Dragon Boat Festival originated in China. It was originally a totem sacrifice festival held by tribes who worshipped the dragon totem in the ancient Baiyue region (the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the area to the south). Before the Spring and Autumn Period in the Baiyue region, there was a custom of holding tribal totem sacrifices in the form of dragon boat races on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Later, because the poet Qu Yuan from the Chu State (now Hubei) during the Warring States Period committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River with a stone in his arms on that day, the rulers used the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan in order to establish a label of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism; some areas also use the term "Dragon Boat Festival" to commemorate Wu Zixu and Cao E.

Today's hexagram in the old emperor's calendar

Fire Earth Jin (Jin Gua) Seeking Progress and Development Upper Gua [Xiang said]: When you hoe the ground, you get rid of the weeds among the seedlings. If someone wants money, he will find someone to help him. If he hoes the ground, he will get silver. This is considered good luck. This hexagram is composed of two different hexagrams (Kun below and Li above). Li represents the sun and light; Kun represents the earth. The sun hangs high in the sky, shining upon the earth. The earth is submissive and all things grow there. It is bright and upright, advancing gently and upwards, which is a metaphor for a thriving business.
【Career】: Smooth. We should follow the right path, meet challenges head-on, defeat the enemy, and take advantage of the situation. Establish good interpersonal relationships and win people's hearts. Go all out, don't have the slightest hesitation, and avoid being indecisive. Instead, don't be discouraged by failure and keep moving forward courageously. Pay attention to unity and common progress.
[Business]: The market is good. The market competition is going smoothly. But we will also encounter some difficulties, and we must face them head-on, take advantage of the situation, and defeat the enemy. Gain public support. Setbacks are inevitable on the way forward, but as long as your motives are pure, you will be able to turn danger into safety.
[Seeking fame]: After hard work and struggle, you already have the foundation to develop a career. However, because there is no one to recommend you, you are temporarily unsuccessful. You must not give up on yourself, but must patiently wait for the opportunity. At the same time, create conditions more actively.
[Going out]: Overcome hesitation, move forward boldly, and everything will go smoothly.
[Marriage and Love]: Good luck. There will be ideal results, but you must never be complacent about your superior conditions and be indifferent or overly picky.
[Decision]: The situation is constantly improving and there won’t be too much resistance. But you must win the trust of everyone, gain their hearts, and keep working hard. As long as your motives are pure and you overcome the mentality of relying on luck, good things will surely come to you.
