What is the "Poisonous Day of May"? When is the Dragon Boat Festival in May of the lunar calendar?
Introduction: The fifth month of the lunar calendar is also an important month. So what is the "Nine Poisonous Days of May" and which day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar is the Dragon Boat Festival? The earthly branch of the fifth month in the lunar calendar is Wu, which represents Yang Fire, so it is also called the Wu month. The fifth month in the lunar calendar is the time when summer insects chirp and midsummer is fragrant. For more information on the do’s and don’ts of the fifth month in the lunar calendar in 2019, please pay attention to Mr. Shui Mo’s website!What is "May 9 Poison Day"?There are ten Nine Poisonous Days in total. The specific dates are: the 5th, 6th, 7th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 25th, 26th and 27th of the fifth lunar month. These nine days are the "Nine Poisonous Days when Heaven and Earth are in Harmony" and the fourteenth day is the Day when Heaven and Earth are in Harmony.The fifth month of the lunar calendar is commonly known as the poisonous month. There is a saying among the people that "May is rotten", which means that in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, clothes, wood, and rattan products are easily affected by moisture, mold, and rot. It can be seen that the fifth month of the lunar calendar is a time when bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms can easily multiply. As we all know, sexual life consumes the body's positive energy. In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, when external evil is so powerful, if we do not control our sexual life and consume our vital energy recklessly, we will give the powerful external evil an opportunity to take advantage. At this time, it is very easy for the human body to get sick. Among them, there are nine days that are harmful to the body, damage energy and consume essence, which are the so-called nine poisonous days in ancient times. The Nine Poisonous Days are actually "empty" days in geomancy. During this period, people are prone to damage their vitality, so appropriate self-purification is in line with the principle of harmony between heaven, earth and man. The Dragon Boat Festival is the first of the Nine Poisonous Days, and therefore there are many rituals to ward off evil spirits and poisons on this day, such as drinking realgar wine, inserting mugwort, etc. When is the Dragon Boat Festival in May of the lunar calendar?The Dragon Boat Festival is on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar every year.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.
