Why do we hang mugwort during the Dragon Boat Festival? Will the 2019 Dragon Boat Festival college entrance examination be postponed?
In my hometown, every household will hang mugwort at the door during the Dragon Boat Festival. So why do people hang mugwort during the Dragon Boat Festival? Will the college entrance examination be rescheduled on the same day as the Dragon Boat Festival in 2019 ? 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.Why do we hang mugwort during the Dragon Boat Festival?1. To drive away ghosts and evil spirits, people hang mugwort, calamus (Pu Jian), pomegranates and garlic at the door during the Dragon Boat Festival. There are reasons for this. Usually, mugwort, banyan and calamus are tied into a bundle with red paper and then inserted or hung on the door. Because calamus is the first of the five auspicious plants in the sky, it symbolizes a sword that drives away evil. Because its growing season and appearance are considered to be able to sense the "hundred yin energy", its leaves are sword-shaped, and inserting them at the door can ward off evil. Therefore, the alchemists called it "water sword", and later customs extended it to "cattail sword", which can kill all evil spirits. In the Qing Dynasty, Gu Tieqing recorded in "Qing Jia Lu" that "cut cattails into swords, cut reeds into whips, and add peach stems and garlic to them, and hang them on the bedside, all to ward off evil spirits."2. Mugwort represents good fortune and is a medicinal herb that can cure diseases. Putting it at the door can make you healthy. It has been a medicinal plant in ancient my country. The moxibustion method in acupuncture uses mugwort as the main ingredient, which is placed on acupuncture points and burned to treat diseases. The legend that mugwort can drive away evil spirits has been around for a long time, mainly because of its medicinal function. For example, Zong Yan's "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" records that "before the cock crows, pick mugwort that looks like a human, pick it up, and use it to moxibustion the disease. It is very effective. On this day, pick mugwort in the shape of a human and hang it on the door to ward off poisonous gas." 3. Curing and preventing diseases: Artemisia selengensis, also known as mugwort and wormwood. Its stems and leaves contain volatile aromatic oils. The unique fragrance it produces can repel mosquitoes, flies, insects and ants and purify the air. In traditional Chinese medicine, mugwort is used as a medicine, which has the functions of regulating qi and blood, warming the uterus, and removing cold and dampness. Processing mugwort leaves into "mogwort wool" is an important medicinal material for treating diseases with moxibustion. 4. To pray for good luck , people also have the custom of planting mugwort in front of and behind their houses to pray for good luck. People in Taiwan also post "Noon Couplets" during the Dragon Boat Festival. Their function is the same as that of talismans. Some Noon Couplets have the following sentence on them: "Holding an mugwort flag to attract a hundred blessings, hanging a cattail sword on the door to slay a thousand evils." In folk culture, banyan branches can make the body healthy: "Planting banyan branches makes you braver, and planting mugwort makes you braver and healthier." There is also a local custom of hanging pomegranates, garlic or rhododendrons. Garlic can ward off evil spirits and cure insect poisons. Will the 2019 Dragon Boat Festival College Entrance Examination be rescheduled?2019 College Entrance Examination Date: June 7-8 (some provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions are June 7-9)Dragon Boat Festival 2019: Friday, June 7, the fifth day of the fifth month in the lunar calendar. The fact that the 2019 college entrance examination coincides with the Dragon Boat Festival actually has no impact. This situation occurred in 2008 and 2016. The senior high school students took their exams as normal, and the rest of the sophomores and freshmen would have had a holiday as well, including the Dragon Boat Festival, so they all took a holiday together. Other staff members who have to work because of the college entrance examination may be given compensatory leave later. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck." Unexpected changes in the world may happen at any time, so use Mr. Shui Mo's [Premium Calculation] function to learn more about your fortune in 2019! |
