What should we do during the Dragon Boat Festival?

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the four major traditional festivals every year and has a very important significance in the traditional culture of the Chinese nation. The Fortune Teller website will tell you all about the 2018 Dragon Boat Festival.What to do during Dragon Boat Festival1. Eating Zongzi. Needless to say, this has been passed down for so long. I believe everyone’s most intuitive imagination of the Dragon Boat Festival is that it is a time for holiday and the other is to eat Zongzi. Zongzi, also known as "Jiaoshu" and "Tongzong", has a long history and comes in many varieties, as well as a variety of flavors and cooking methods. 2. Dragon Boat Racing is the main custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. It is said that when Qu Yuan jumped into the river, everyone rowed boats to save him but could not find him. Therefore, people have dragon boat racing on the fifth day of May every year to commemorate him. People also use the boats to drive fish to prevent Qu Yuan's body from being eaten. Dragon boat racing is most popular in Wu, Yue and Chu. 3. Hanging the image of Zhong Kui In the Jianghuai region, every family hangs an image of Zhong Kui during the Dragon Boat Festival to ward off evil spirits and protect the house. 4. Drinking realgar wine. This custom is generally popular in the Yangtze River Basin. The ancients believed that drinking realgar wine can cure diseases and prevent poisons. 5. Tying five-colored silk threads. The ancients worshipped five colors and believed that they were auspicious colors. Therefore, in the early morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, adults would tie five-colored threads on children. When it rains or when they take a bath, they would take the threads off their children and throw them into the river to ward off diseases and plagues. 6. Wearing sachets. Sachets were actually used to decorate lapels, but during festivals, people believed that sachets had the ability to ward off evil spirits and plague. 7. Traveling to cure all diseases. Traveling to cure all diseases is generally popular in Guizhou and other places, and it is also used to cure diseases and ensure safety. 8. Hanging mugwort and calamus The Dragon Boat Festival is actually a health festival for preventing diseases. Mugwort and calamus both have certain disease prevention effects. So on the Dragon Boat Festival, people will sweep the courtyard, hang mugwort branches, and hang calamus in order to prevent diseases. |
