This is because people believe that on the Dragon Boat Festival, the "drowned ghosts" are at their most vicious and need to find a substitute to "return to life." Therefore, there is a custom of throwing zongzi into the river to let the fish share and avoid making zongzi. Dragon Boat Festival taboo: Children's sachets should not be lost In the north, children have the custom of wearing sachets. The sachets worn by children must not be lost. Legend has it that if a child loses the sachet he is wearing, there will be a major disaster within a year. After the Dragon Boat Festival, children are required to throw the sachets they are wearing into the water to avoid fire. Dragon Boat Festival Taboo: Evil Day As May is an "evil month" and Double Fifth is an unlucky day, there is a custom of "hiding from Wu" on this day, that is, babies under one year old should be sent to their grandmother's house to hide to escape disasters. Dragon Boat Festival Taboo: Avoid the Five Poisonous Creatures People believe that May is the time when the five poisonous creatures (snakes, centipedes, scorpions, lizards, and toads) appear. A folk song says, "On the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is hot, and the "poison-free" ones wake up, feeling restless." The purpose of driving away the five poisonous creatures during the Dragon Boat Festival is to remind people to prevent harm and disease. Every Dragon Boat Festival, people use various methods to prevent the harm of the five poisons. Generally, a picture of the five poisonous creatures is posted in the house. Five poisonous creatures are printed on red paper, and then five needles are pricked on the five poisonous creatures. It is believed that the poisonous creatures are stabbed to death and cannot run rampant anymore. This is a relic of witchcraft custom to ward off evil spirits. People also embroider the five poisonous creatures on their clothes and decorate their skirts with patterns of the five poisonous creatures, both of which are meant to drive away evil spirits. In some places, people use colored paper to cut the five poisonous creatures into images (i.e. paper-cuts), or paste them on doors, windows, and walls. It can be placed on the kang or tied around the arm of a child to ward off poison.
