As one of my country's traditional cultures, the Dragon Boat Festival has always retained a rich cultural heritage and knowledge culture. During the Dragon Boat Festival, people race boats and eat rice dumplings. This traditional festival celebrated throughout the world not only carries the expectations of the ancients, but also carries people’s hopes for the future. Let’s take a look at the relevant content of the Dragon Boat Festival in 2018!When is the Dragon Boat Festival in 2018?This year's Dragon Boat Festival is on the 28th day of the third lunar month in 2018 (lunar calendar), which corresponds to the 13th day of the fifth lunar month in 2018, which is a Sunday in the Gregorian calendar.The Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar every year. According to the "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji", because people climb high places in midsummer when the sun is in the sky, and May is midsummer, its first noon is the day for climbing high places in the sky, so the fifth day of May is also called the "Dragon Boat Festival." The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional cultural festival popular in China and other countries in the Chinese cultural circle. When should I give birth if I get pregnant during the Dragon Boat Festival in 2018?The Dragon Boat Festival in 2018 is on June 18th in the lunar calendar (the fifth day of the fifth month in the lunar calendar). The gestational period is generally around 280 days, lasting 10 months (each month is 28 days, or 40 weeks). Based on this calculation, the due date for mothers who became pregnant during the Dragon Boat Festival in 2018 is probably in early spring of March 2019.It is midsummer in May and the weather is hot, which easily breeds bacteria and causes infection. Mothers who are pregnant during the Dragon Boat Festival must pay more attention to a balanced diet, hygiene and changes in temperature and environment to avoid damage to the body caused by heat stroke, colds or acute enteritis. I wish every expectant mother can give birth to a healthy and happy baby. How is the baby during Dragon Boat Festival?In the minds of the ancients, the fifth month of the lunar calendar every year is called the "poisonous month", and the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar is the most evil day in the evil month, and it is the day with the most poisonous gas in the year. In the old days, there was a saying that "If a child is born on May 5th, a boy will harm his father, and a girl will harm her mother." This means that a child born on this day may bring bad luck to his parents, so they may be abandoned or their birthdates may be changed. The most typical ones include Mengchangjun, one of the "Four Gentlemen of the Warring States Period", Wang Zhen'e, a general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. The reason why people think that people born on the Dragon Boat Festival are unlucky and have bad fate is related to a long-standing folk legend. It is said that the Dragon Boat Festival was first regarded as an "evil day". The Dragon Boat Festival is close to the summer solstice, and all kinds of mosquitoes and animals are active; and it is the "Double Fifth" day. Five is a yang number, and Double Fifth also means "extreme yang". In traditional culture, the emphasis is on the balance of yin and yang, and any excess is unlucky. Therefore, on the Dragon Boat Festival, a day with the strongest yang energy, when viruses and plagues are rampant, it is regarded as an evil day, thus forming various Dragon Boat Festival customs for exorcising evil spirits.But in fact this statement is inaccurate. The light pillars of babies born on the Dragon Boat Festival are different every year. Although they were all born on the Dragon Boat Festival, their horoscopes are vastly different. Coupled with the influence of fortune and the like, even people born on the same day can have completely different changes. From the perspective of numerology, people born on the fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival, do not have such a bad fate. Children born on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month are gentle and kind. They are powerful, impressive, and have a strong character. They are resourceful, powerful, and righteous. They are promoted by noble people. However, they may ruin their own affairs by speaking without thinking. Also, because they are fickle, they tend to start things with great success but end up with a whimper. They may sit and watch good opportunities disappear. It is better to get married late than early, otherwise the couple may conflict halfway through. It is a life of wealth and glory in old age. From the perspective of the I Ching and Eight Trigrams, people born on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month are in the month of Jianwu, which corresponds to the month of Tianfeng in the I Ching divination. People born in this month have the ambition to achieve great things. He is also sociable and eloquent, and is well-received among his peers and friends. |
