The legend of dragon segmentation

In northern China, there is a saying that the Dragon Boat Festival is divided. According to folklore, in a year's time, the five dragon kings who distributed rain were on and off. During the period from the autumn harvest to the next spring planting, the dragon kings who had been busy for a year all sneaked into the ground to hibernate. The following year, before spring ploughing, the dragon kings who slept all winter woke up, and according to the will of the jade emperor or the old dragon king, the red, yellow, green, white and black owners went to their respective jurisdictions for sex. Traditionally, the days when the five dragons were dismembered were collectively called Dragon Boat Festival. ?

Folk in North China explained that on this day, the five dragons who used to live together will be separated, and the two sides will be cloudy or sunny. If it doesn't rain on this day, people will consider whether it is necessary to sing opera and pray for rain. China has a vast territory, rich natural resources, different climate, different geology and diverse cultures. Therefore, the relatively fixed time of worshipping dragons and praying for rain in different places is not exactly the same. For example, Lingchuan area in Shanxi Province has been offering sacrifices to the Dragon King on June 1 day and June 13 for hundreds of years. The Bailong Temple Fair in Jiao Shan, Yangcheng City, Shanxi Province is scheduled for the third day of April and the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. In the folk, people call this fixed day of praying for rain and singing opera a death day. This kind of death date is mostly set at the time of the dragon king's birthday. Comparatively speaking, this relatively fixed rain praying ceremony is arranged in front, which is a means to prevent drought and an early investment in the feelings of the Dragon King. Lest you don't burn incense at ordinary times and rush to give lessons to Buddha's feet, which makes the Dragon King disgusted.
