Why is the Dragon Boat Festival called Doll Festival?

The Dragon Boat Festival is called Doll's Day because it is also called "the end of May". May is the beginning of the whole hot day. Five poisonous snakes are active and ghosts are rampant, which will bring disaster to people, especially to children who have no scruples and no resistance. Therefore, people call the Dragon Boat Festival in May "Children's Day" or "Baby's Day".

The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanyang Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Zhengyang Festival and Tianzhong Festival, originated from the worship of astronomical phenomena in ancient times and evolved from the Dragon Boat Festival. On the midsummer Dragon Boat Festival, the black dragon rises to the south of the sky for seven nights, which is an auspicious day for the dragon to fly. As the fifth poem in the Book of Changes says, "The dragon is in the sky". At noon, Long Xing is both a "win" and a "right" and a symbol of good luck. Its origin covers ancient astrological culture, humanistic philosophy and other aspects, and contains profound and rich cultural connotations.
