Introduction: Everyone cannot choose the time of birth, but does being born at different times have a great impact on people’s personality, fortune, and even destiny? So is it good to give birth on the Dragon Boat Festival? What is the fate of people born on the Dragon Boat Festival? Let’s follow the editor to find out. The Dragon Boat Festival is also known as the Dragon Boat Festival because of the custom of dragon boat racing during the Dragon Boat Festival since ancient times. The customs of the Dragon Boat Festival vary from place to place, and it contains profound Chinese traditional folk culture.What is Dragon Boat Festival?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." In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival is also called "Midday Festival, May Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Bathing Orchid Festival, Poets Festival", etc. The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional cultural festival popular in China and other countries in the Chinese cultural circle. The Dragon Boat Festival originated in China. It was originally a totem sacrifice festival held by tribes who worshipped the dragon totem in the ancient Baiyue region (the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the area to the south). Before the Spring and Autumn Period in the Baiyue region, there was a custom of holding tribal totem sacrifices in the form of dragon boat races on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Later, because the poet Qu Yuan from the Chu State (now Hubei) during the Warring States Period committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River with a stone in his arms on that day, the rulers used the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan in order to establish a label of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism; some areas also use the term "Dragon Boat Festival" to commemorate Wu Zixu and Cao E. The Dragon Boat Festival is known as one of the four major traditional festivals of the Chinese folk, along with the Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Mid-Autumn Festival. Since ancient times, the Dragon Boat Festival has included festival activities such as dragon boat racing and eating rice dumplings. Since 2008, the Dragon Boat Festival has been listed as a national statutory holiday. In May 2006, the State Council included it in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list; in September 2009, UNESCO formally reviewed and approved the inclusion of China's Dragon Boat Festival in the World Intangible Cultural Heritage, making it the first Chinese festival to be selected as a world intangible cultural heritage.What is the fate of people born on the Dragon Boat Festival?The original meaning of the Dragon Boat Festival should be the ancient people's custom of warding off disasters and evil spirits, which is related to the ancient Wu Nuo customs. Because in the concept of the ancients, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year is the most evil day in the evil month, and it is the most poisonous day in the year. Even children born on this day may bring bad luck to their parents, so they may be abandoned or have their birth date 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 born on the Dragon Boat Festival are considered unlucky and have bad fate is related to a long-standing folk legend. In the old days, there was a saying that "if you give birth to a child on May 5th, a boy will harm his father, and a girl will harm her mother." According to legend, Mengchangjun, a famous figure in history, was born on May 5th. His father did not want him because he thought he would be detrimental to his parents; Wang Zhen'e, a great general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was named "Zhen'e" by his grandfather because he was born on May 5th; and Song Huizong Zhao Ji was fostered outside the palace since he was a child because he was born on May 5th. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival was originally celebrated as an "evil day". According to legend, the Dragon Boat Festival originated from the ancient times of avoiding "evil days". The Dragon Boat Festival is close to the summer solstice, when various mosquitoes and animals become active; and it coincides with the "Double Fifth" solar term, five being a yang number, so 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. However, although the historical celebrities mentioned above were incompetent in governing the country, they were all masters of poetry, calligraphy and painting, and still had first-class talents; Wang Zhen'e returned to the Eastern Jin Dynasty after the demise of the Former Qin Dynasty and became a brave general who made many military achievements. After his death, he was posthumously conferred the title of Zhuanghou by the emperor; Mengchangjun grew up to become the prime minister of Qi, and his name was known throughout the world and recorded in history. So, in fact, birthdays don’t mean anything. No matter when you are born, there are great people, ordinary people, and extremely vicious people. The key lies in the acquired external education and personal hard work. Summary: Through the above article, we know the fate analysis of people born on the Dragon Boat Festival. I hope it can provide some reference for everyone. However, everyone cannot choose where they are born, and their destiny is in their own hands! |
