Why can't the Dragon Boat Festival say happiness, only well-being?

Blessing "Dragon Boat Festival" didn't exist in ancient times, but only in modern times. In recent years, it has been circulated on social networks that the Dragon Boat Festival is not suitable for saying "Happy Holidays" to friends, because the Dragon Boat Festival is a festival of sacrifice and a solemn and stirring day. After this festival, you can send "Ankang", but it is not recommended to say "happiness" to each other.

Some people think that the Dragon Boat Festival can't wish each other "happiness" but send each other "well-being", which is just a gimmick and has no basis. It is a tradition to wish "Happy Dragon Boat Festival". Ancient poems also describe the festive atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival, and the ancients also said "Happy Dragon Boat Festival" to each other.
