So what are the taboos of the Dragon Boat Festival in 2018 and what can’t we do during the Dragon Boat Festival? The Dragon Boat Festival is an important traditional festival and has 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 are the taboos during the Dragon Boat Festival in 2018? What can’t we do during the Dragon Boat Festival?(1) On the day of Yang Blade, poisonous gas attacks the bodyThis day is the fifth day of the fifth month. From the perspective of the lunar calendar, it is around the summer solstice, so it is the day with the strongest Yang energy in the year. It is also actually the Yang Blade Day. In this lunar month, the Yang Blade is evil, and it is originally the so-called "poisonous month". There are a total of "nine poisonous days", and the Dragon Boat Festival is the first of the "nine poisonous days", so it is called the "poisonous day". From the perspective of the Five Elements, any one of the Five Elements that is too strong or too weak will form evil spirits, which will pose a threat and harm to the natural climate or human health; what's more, this season is also the time when poisonous insects and bad insects are rampant; so on this day, you need to insert mugwort, peach branches, and calamus on the door to drive away ghosts; fumigate with Atractylodes and Angelica dahurica, drink realgar wine, or sprinkle realgar wine on children to repel insects, avoid evil spirits, and ensure health.(2) On the day of sacrifice, Yin energy harms the bodyOne of the most important and common activities of the Dragon Boat Festival is to worship ancestors. Not only do people commemorate the poet Qu Yuan who committed suicide by jumping into the river, but in some places people also commemorate the loyal minister Wu Zixu and the filial daughter Cao E. On this day, they make a lot of rice dumplings and throw them into the river, just like visiting the grave of the dead, and they enjoy the rest themselves, so rice dumplings are actually a kind of sacrificial offering. Sadness is inevitable during sacrifices, so on this day, like the Qingming Festival, people artificially create a strong yin energy. These yin energies, like the yang energy, can also harm people with weaker mental and physical constitutions, such as depression, bad mood, physical pain and so on. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day not suitable for anything, especially for festive activities such as taking office, moving, starting construction, opening a business, getting married, and celebrations; it is also not suitable for participating in entertainment activities. The right choice is to return home to visit parents and reunite with family.(3) On the day of the Nine Poisons, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibitedThe 5th, 6th, 7th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 25th, 26th and 27th of the fifth lunar month are the "Nine Poisonous Days of the Intersection of Heaven and Earth" and the 14th is the Day of the Intersection of Heaven and Earth. There are ten days in total, and the Dragon Boat Festival is the first of the nine poisonous days. Poisonous gas attacks the body and evil energy is strong. It is also said to be the day when heaven and earth come together, and it is not suitable for sexual intercourse between men and women. Therefore, ancient teachings strictly forbid sexual intercourse. This is not superstition, but a very natural scientific truth. 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. The ancients were very smart. In order to prevent some people from being greedy for sexual desires and unable to control themselves, and thus breaking taboos, they designated this day as the "Returning Home Day." What is "Returning Home"? Guining means a married woman returns to her parents' home to visit her parents. When husband and wife separate, this objectively eliminates the conditions for accidental sexual intercourse and also protects the health of the parties involved. There are nine more poisonous days following this, which basically cover the entire fifth month of the lunar calendar. Therefore, in some places, sexual intercourse is prohibited throughout the entire fifth month to avoid evil spirits and poisons.Summary: The above content is about [What are the taboos in the Dragon Boat Festival in 2018 and what can’t be done during the Dragon Boat Festival? 】Problem analysis, hope it can help everyone! |
