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.What other customs are there during the Dragon Boat Festival besides eating rice dumplings?1. Drink realgar wine. Realgar wine is a traditional Chinese medicine and a very important part of the traditional Dragon Boat Festival diet. Every year on the first day of the lunar calendar, the brewed realgar wine will be placed outdoors in the sun and stay there until the fifth day, when people eat rice dumplings and drink realgar wine at noon.2. Dagao Dagao is the food that the Korean people in Yanbian, Jilin Province eat when celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival. At this time, people gather together to eat food with ethnic characteristics, which also adds to the atmosphere of festive gathering. 3. Eating eels during the Dragon Boat Festival is the best season of the year to eat eels. At this time, the eel meat is the most tender. There is a saying that "Dragon Boat Festival eels are better than ginseng", so during the Dragon Boat Festival, you can also eat some eels to help maintain your health. 4. Hanging mugwort: A folk proverb says: "Plant willows on Qingming Festival and plant mugwort on Dragon Boat Festival." During the Dragon Boat Festival, people consider planting mugwort and calamus as one of the important activities. Every household has to sweep the courtyard, insert calamus and moxa sticks on the door lintel and hang them in the hall. They also use calamus, mugwort, pomegranate flowers, garlic, and ivy to make human or tiger shapes, which are called mugwort men and mugwort tigers. They are made into wreaths and pendants, which are beautiful and fragrant. Women compete to wear them to drive away miasma. 5. Hanging a statue of Zhong Kui catching ghosts is a custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. In the Jianghuai region, every household hangs an image of Zhong Kui to ward off evil spirits. During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Minghuang returned to the palace after giving a military lecture at Mount Li. He suffered from a severe malaria attack and dreamed of two ghosts, one big and one small. The small ghost wore bright red crotchless pants and they stole the sachet of Yang Guifei and the emperor's jade flute and ran around the palace. The big ghost, wearing a blue robe and a hat, caught the little ghost, dug out its eyes, and swallowed it in one gulp. The emperor asked the ghost, and the ghost replied: My surname is Zhong Kui, and I failed the martial arts examination. But I am willing to eliminate demons for your majesty. After the emperor woke up, his malaria was cured. So he ordered the painter Wu Daozi to paint a picture of Zhong Kui catching ghosts according to what he saw in the dream, and ordered the whole country to post it during the Dragon Boat Festival to drive away evil spirits. 6. Hang the five-colored rope. Ancient Chinese people revered the five colors and regarded them as auspicious colors. Therefore, early in the morning of Dragon Boat Festival. The first thing adults do after getting up is to tie five-colored threads on their children’s wrists, ankles, and necks. Children are forbidden to speak when the string is being tied. The five-colored thread cannot be broken or discarded at will and can only be thrown into the river during the first heavy rain in summer or the first bath. It is said that children wearing five-colored threads can avoid being harmed by poisonous snakes, scorpions and other insects; throwing them into the river means letting the river water wash away the plague and disease, so that the children can stay healthy. 7. Dragon Boat Racing is an important activity of the Dragon Boat Festival. It was originally a sacrificial activity of the ancient Yue people to worship the water god or dragon god, and its origin may have begun in the late primitive society. It has been passed down for more than two thousand years. According to historical records, dragon boat racing originated to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. It can be seen that dragon boat racing is not only a sports and entertainment activity, but also reflects the patriotism and collectivism in people's hearts.
