What are the taboos and precautions during the Dragon Boat Festival?

Dragon Boat Festival taboo: Don’t eat rice dumplings from your mother’s home
In ancient times, after a daughter got married, she would live in her husband's home for a long time and rarely saw her parents. From the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a custom of returning to one's parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival. However, in Shandong area, there is a tradition that married girls stay at their parents' home and do not need to return to their husband's home before the Dragon Boat Festival, which means they cannot celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival at their parents' home. As the saying goes, "If you eat the Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings from your mother's home, your whole family will die."
Dragon Boat Festival taboo: sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited
The ancients believed that May was the month of nine poisons, and the Dragon Boat Festival was the first day of the nine poisons. When the energy field of heaven and earth is not right, it will inevitably affect people's body and mind. Therefore, if you have sex on the Nine Poisonous Days, you will definitely be poisoned and injured. Therefore, ancient teachings strictly forbid sexual intercourse during the Dragon Boat Festival and stipulate that from the first to the fifth day of May, women should return to their parents' home and spend the time there. Husbands and wives should separate and this day is designated as the "Returning Home Day."
Dragon Boat Festival taboos: Avoid holding festive activities
The most important part of the Dragon Boat Festival is to worship our ancestors. Sadness is inevitable during sacrifices, so this day is not suitable for blessing others, and it is certainly not suitable for holding or participating in festive activities such as business openings, weddings, and celebrations. In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival is on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar every year, which is the "Yang Gong's death anniversary" and can never be chosen as a day for important matters such as opening a business, starting construction, getting married, signing a contract, etc. Dragon Boat Festival taboo: Do ​​not swim in the river on that day
As May is an "evil month", Double Fifth is an unlucky day, so in some places swimming is forbidden on this day, especially swimming in places where people have drowned. Because on the Dragon Boat Festival, "drowned ghosts" are the most ferocious and need to find a substitute to "resurrect", so there is a custom of throwing rice dumplings into the river to let them share the food and avoid being used as substitutes.
Dragon Boat Festival Taboo: Prevent poisonous gas from attacking your body
It has been mentioned before that the Dragon Boat Festival is the poisonous month. From the perspective of the lunar calendar, it is around the summer solstice, so it is also the day with the strongest yang energy in the year. From the perspective of the five elements, if any of the five elements is too strong or too weak, it will form evil spirits, which will pose a threat and harm to the natural climate or human health. Therefore, on the Dragon Boat Festival, people need to insert mugwort, peach branches, and calamus on the door to drive away ghosts; fumigate with atractylodes and angelica, drink realgar wine, etc.
Dragon Boat Festival taboos: There are many taboos for children
The Dragon Boat Festival is not only an unlucky day, but also has a great impact on children's physical and mental health. Therefore, there are many taboos regarding children. For example, it is not suitable to give birth on the Dragon Boat Festival; babies under one year old should be sent to their grandmother's house on the Dragon Boat Festival to avoid disasters; children should eat two duck eggs in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, and realgar wine should be sprinkled on the children to repel insects, avoid evil spirits and ensure health. In the north, children have the custom of wearing sachets to ward off evil and bring peace. Moreover, 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.
