What are the nicknames for May of the lunar calendar?

The nicknames of May in the lunar calendar are midsummer, poisonous month, evil month, Puyue and June.

1, midsummer

As far as the season is concerned, the fifth month of the lunar calendar is in midsummer, so Tao is also called "midsummer". According to the order of the twelve months, May is the "noon" month, which is the month from summer to Sunday, so the beginning of May is the most prosperous time of the year (it begins to decline from summer to Sunday).

2. Bad month.

In fact, this is because the weather in summer is hot and dry, people are easy to get sick and plague is easy to spread, snakes and insects are easy to breed and bite people, so we should be very careful, which makes people gradually form the custom of "avoiding the five poisons" and "hiding from the Dragon Boat Festival".

3. Pu Yue.

Grass is flourishing in May, and it is the most abundant in May. Acorus calamus, as one of the "four elegant flowers", grows on the riverside, is slim, green and fragrant, and is deeply loved by people. Drinking calamus wine and inserting calamus leaves has also become an important custom of exorcism on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. People also call May "Puyue".

4. Liu Yue.

Liu Yue is named after the pomegranate flowers in May, and Han Yu has a poem "The pomegranate flowers in May bloom brilliantly". In the early May of ancient times, little girls in Beijing wore orange or scarlet pomegranate flowers as hairpins and dressed themselves beautifully. Later, they called the fifth day of the fifth lunar month "Daughter's Day".

5, poisonous month.

Early May is the peak of sunshine in a year (it begins to decline in summer). Excessive yang is not necessarily a good thing, so May is also called "poison month".
