From this we can know that the Dragon Boat Festival is not among the toll-free holidays in our country, so the highways will not be free during the Dragon Boat Festival in 2019. What is the significance of drinking realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival?Traditional customs :Legend has it that after Qu Yuan jumped into the river, people in his hometown threw rice dumplings and salted eggs into the river to prevent a dragon from eating his body. An old doctor brought a jar of realgar wine and poured it into the river, saying that it could drug the dragon and protect Qu Yuan. After a while, a dragon really emerged from the water. So people pulled the dragon ashore, pulled out its tendons, peeled off its skin, and then wrapped the dragon tendons around the wrists and necks of the children. They then smeared their seven orifices with realgar wine, thinking that this would protect the children from harm by insects and snakes. It is said that this is the origin of drinking realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival. To this day, many places in my country have the habit of drinking realgar wine. Scientific statement: Realgar is a mineral, commonly known as "cockscomb stone". Its main component is arsenic sulfide, and it contains mercury, which is a toxic substance. The realgar wine that is generally consumed is made by adding a small amount of realgar to white wine or homemade yellow wine. It is not drunk pure. Although realgar is poisonous, realgar wine has the effects of killing bacteria, expelling parasites and eliminating the five poisons. Chinese medicine also uses realgar wine to treat skin diseases. In ancient times when there were no disinfectants such as iodine, soaking realgar in wine could remove toxins and relieve itching. However, modern scientific research shows that realgar wine is okay for external use, but drinking it is harmful, so it must be used with caution. Brief analysis of the Dragon Boat Festival:The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Duanyang Festival, the Double Fifth Festival, the Mid-day Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Zhengyang Festival, the Orchid Bathing Festival, the Tianzhong Festival, etc., is a traditional Chinese folk festival. The Dragon Boat Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from the dragon totem worship in ancient times.During the Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer, the Blue Dragon rises to the center of the sky in the south. This is the day when the dragon ascends to heaven, just as the fifth line of the Qian hexagram in the Book of Changes says: "The flying dragon is in the sky." At this time, the dragon star is both "center" and "right," and is in a very auspicious position. Grace is bestowed upon all, and the virtue of the dragon is prominent. The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival covers ancient astrological culture, humanities and philosophy, and contains profound and rich cultural connotations. The Dragon Boat Festival has integrated a variety of folk customs in the process of inheritance and development, and the festival is rich in content. Dragon boat racing and eating rice dumplings are the two major ritual themes of the Dragon Boat Festival. These two traditional ritual themes have been passed down in China since ancient times and continue to this day. The Dragon Boat Festival originated in China. Originally, it was a festival in which ancient people worshipped the dragon ancestor by holding dragon boat races. Because Qu Yuan, a poet from the Chu State in the Warring States Period, committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River with a rock on the Dragon Boat Festival, his descendants regard the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan; in some places, there is also a saying that it is a festival to commemorate Wu Zixu, Cao E and Jie Zitui. In general, the Dragon Boat Festival originated from the dragon totem worship. The view of the Dragon Boat Festival as the "evil month and evil day" started in the north, and was infused with the summer season's "disease prevention and epidemic prevention" trend. It also added commemorative content for historical figures such as Qu Yuan who jumped into the river to commit suicide, and finally formed the cultural connotation of the Dragon Boat Festival today. The Dragon Boat Festival is known as one of the four major traditional festivals of the Chinese folk along with the Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Mid-Autumn Festival. The Dragon Boat Festival culture has a wide influence in the world, and some countries and regions in the world also have the custom of celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival. In May 2006, the State Council included the Dragon Boat Festival in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list; since 2008, it has been listed as a national statutory holiday. In September 2009, UNESCO officially approved its inclusion in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, making the Dragon Boat Festival the first Chinese festival to be included in the world's intangible cultural heritage.
