The child born on Dragon Boat Festival is unknown?
Thousands of years of cultural heritage have passed down many cultural essences that are worth learning and inheriting, but not all traditions should be inherited. In ancient times, it was believed that children born on the Dragon Boat Festival were ominous, and children born on that day were even abandoned or killed. Are children born on the Dragon Boat Festival really unlucky? The fifth month of the lunar calendar is considered a poisonous month in Chinese folklore. It is known as the most poisonous month of the year. The Fortune Teller website will help you understand the days of the fifth lunar month in 2018!The child born on Dragon Boat Festival is unknown?Most people probably only know about the Dragon Boat Festival by eating rice dumplings and the anniversary of Qu Yuan's death. More importantly, they know about "killing the five poisons", drinking realgar wine and the legend of White Snake. But in fact, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year, which is the Dragon Boat Festival, is the most evil day in the evil month and the most poisonous day of the year. The ancients believed that children born on this day would bring bad luck to their parents. Many people abandoned their children for this reason, or changed their birthdays.Mengchangjun It is said that Mengchangjun, one of the "Four Princes of the Warring States Period", was born on the Dragon Boat Festival. "Records of the Grand Historian·Biography of Mengchangjun" records: "At first, Tian Ying had more than 40 sons. His concubine had a son named Wen, who was born on May 5th. Ying told his mother: 'Don't raise him.' His mother secretly raised him. When he grew up..." It means that Tian Ying, the prime minister of Qi at that time, had more than 40 sons at first. His concubine gave birth to a baby boy named Wen, who was born on the first day of May. Tian Ying told his concubine: "You are not allowed to support him." This naturally meant that he wanted to abandon Tian Wen. But Tian Wen's biological mother couldn't bear to do that, so she rented a house somewhere else and secretly raised him. When Tian Wen grew up, his mother introduced Tian Wen to Tian Ying through Tian Wen's brother. Upon seeing this, Tian Ying became furious and yelled at his concubine, "I told you to throw the child away, but you dared to keep him alive. Why?" The clever Tian Wen kowtowed and asked, "Why don't you allow children born in May to be raised?" Tian Ying replied, "Children born in May will be as tall as their parents when they grow up and will harm their parents." Tian Wen asked in return, "Is a person's destiny granted by God or by their family?" Tian Ying was speechless. Later, after further persuasion from Tian Wen, Tian Ying changed his attitude towards Tian Wen, began to respect him, let him manage the household affairs, and eventually inherited Tian Ying's title. This was Mengchangjun, who had three thousand guests in history. It is said that Song Huizong was also born on the fifth day of May. In order to avoid taboo, Song Huizong turned his birthday into an interesting "public day", that is, he changed it to the tenth day of October and designated this day as "Tianning Festival". This custom is still followed in some places. Wang Zhen'e, a famous general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was born on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. His family thought it was unlucky and wanted to remove his name from the family tree, but his grandfather Wang Meng said, "This is an unusual child. In the past, Mengchangjun was born in an evil month and became the prime minister of Qi. This child will also revive our family!" So he named him Zhen'e, which means to "suppress the evil" on the fifth day of the fifth month. It is an indisputable fact that the ancients were very taboo about raising children born on the Dragon Boat Festival. The root cause is that ancient ancestors regarded the fifth month of the lunar calendar, when ferocious beasts and poisonous insects are active, as an evil month when demons and monsters are prevalent. This evil energy is particularly strong on the fifth day of May. Therefore, people used dragon boats to send away disasters and plagues, hung mugwort to drive away poisonous insects, wore amulets to ward off evil spirits, bathed in herb soup and drank bitter water, and couples abstained from sexual intercourse, and so on, to pray for the elimination of disasters and the avoidance of misfortunes. After looking at the above celebrities, you will know that although there is a saying that children born on the Dragon Boat Festival are unlucky, it is not actually true, so there is nothing wrong with a child being born on the Dragon Boat Festival. |
