After washing, the housewife went up to the bamboo building and wrapped the rice dumplings respectfully. When wrapping zongzi, adult men are forbidden to go upstairs. On the festival day, every family offers Caopu wine in front of the ancestral tablets and rice dumplings on the grandmother's tablet. Women would wrap cattail leaves around children’s heads and draw the word “王” on their foreheads with realgar wine. Spray the house inside and outside with water boiled with chili peppers and kudzu, and sprinkle realgar and garlic oil on the dishes to be eaten. The Dong people who live along rivers and lakes have the custom of dragon boat rowing and dragon boat racing, while those who live in mountainous areas have the custom of going up the mountains to dig grass. Tibetans - picking flowers The Tibetans living in Wen County, Gansu Province, celebrate the "Flower Picking Festival", also known as the "Daughter's Day", on the Dragon Boat Festival. Every year on the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, the young women in the village, accompanied by their older brothers, go up the mountain to pick flowers, accompanied by the farewell of all the men, women, old and young in the village. At night, they light bonfires on the mountain and everyone sings and dances around. On the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, they would make wreaths of the flowers they had picked, wear them on their heads and rush home. Their relatives gathered in front of the village and fired gunshots to welcome them back. They gave the flowers they picked to the villagers, and then sang and danced in the drying yard. After the singing and dancing stopped, the villagers treated the flower-picking girls to the most delicious dishes, thanking them for bringing happiness and good luck to themselves and the Dragon Boat Festival. Yao Nationality - Bathing In the areas where the Yao people live, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year, men, women, old and young go to the river to take a cold shower, or take a bath with the soup made from the herbs dug from the mountains in the morning. They believe that this can prevent disease and prolong life. In addition, the Yao people have the custom of offering sacrifices to the King of Flowers on the Dragon Boat Festival to pray for the protection of grains; spraying realgar wine to prevent insects and snakes; eating glutinous rice and hanging mugwort leaves on the door. Korean ethnic group - sports meeting The Korean ethnic group organizes many sports competitions during the Dragon Boat Festival, with swinging and wrestling as the main events. Now, football, volleyball, table tennis and track and field events have been added to enrich the sports content of the Dragon Boat Festival. In terms of diet, there is a custom of making moxa cakes, steamed cakes, and small bean buns, and drinking Shoupu wine or turbid wine (rice wine) to ward off evil spirits. Daur people - temple worship During the Dragon Boat Festival, each Daur village would collectively pool money to buy pigs to offer as sacrifices to the temple. First, a portion of the pork is cooked and offered to the temple, then everyone eats the pork together, and the rest of the raw meat is distributed to each household. The organizers take turns hosting the event each year. The host has the right to enjoy pig heads, offal, etc. In addition, on the Dragon Boat Festival, at dawn, people go to the mountains outside the city to pick mugwort stalks, and take them home to stick them on window frames and chests. People also use mugwort stalks to plug their ears, believing that this can repel insects and prevent them from biting for a year. Give flowers to children and hang paper gourds indoors. According to custom, people eat "leek dumplings" on this day. Tu Nationality - Archery Competition The Dragon Boat Festival is a festival for the Tu ethnic group to hold archery competitions. The bow used by the archer is a horn bow, the arrow is a wooden shaft with an iron chain, and the arrow tail has feathers. The game is decided by the number of targets hit. At the end of the competition, all the female singers in the village gathered at the entrance of the village, stopped the horses of the archers, and sang "Huaer" to bid farewell to them. The archers also responded with "Huaer" songs. Everyone's destiny is different, and perhaps it has been determined on the day we were born. But luck is always changing.
