The old man said: I am most afraid of the Dragon Boat Festival. Why is the Dragon Boat Festival water so terrible?

The old man said: I am most afraid of the Dragon Boat Festival. The terrible reason for the Dragon Boat Festival is that too much rain will affect the experience of dragon boat racing, which is likely to affect the crop harvest of that year. Dragon Boat Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China. It has a long history, and its time is just right, because May is its birthday every year. May is the season for people to work. The Dragon Boat Festival in this busy season will naturally bring great blessings and relaxation to farmers. Although the Dragon Boat Festival is happy, people are afraid that it will rain on the Dragon Boat Festival, because they think that if it rains, it will mean more rain in the harvest season, which is likely to affect the harvest.

Dragon Boat Festival is held in May every year. On this day, many places will hold grand dragon boat races. There will be a grand dragon boat race in almost every place. On the day of dragon boat race, people will crowd on both sides of the river. But if it rains heavily, it will definitely affect the dragon boat race. If it is even more unfortunate, it will even lead to floods, which will not only affect people's inability to hold dragon boat races, but even bring losses to people.

Generally speaking, the day before the Dragon Boat Festival is the solar term of the awning, and the arrival of the awning means that it is the busiest time for farmers, which is the key period for harvesting wheat and planting summer and autumn crops. If it rains heavily, wheat can't be harvested, threshed and stored in time, which is likely to lead to mildew and failure to harvest normally. Seeing the wheat destroyed by the weather is the biggest worry of farmers. Therefore, it is reasonable for people to be afraid of water during the Dragon Boat Festival in May, and farmers certainly don't want the continuous heavy rain in May.

There are many proverbs and sayings in ancient times, all of which are reasonable and practical, and none of them come out of thin air. As one of China people's favorite festivals, the Dragon Boat Festival has been passed down to this day.
