What are the taboos of Dragon Boat Festival?

Nowadays, people seem to think that the Dragon Boat Festival is as happy and auspicious as the Spring Festival, but few people know that it is actually a taboo day. Next, Bian Xiao introduces the taboos of the Dragon Boat Festival. Welcome to reading.

First, the custom of hiding in the afternoon

The Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is considered unlucky, isn't it? Hide in the afternoon? The custom of. Babies under one year old should be sent to grandma's house to hide, and every household should insert mugwort leaves at the door to ward off evil spirits. Children should wear dogs and villains sewn with cotton cloth. These things should be carefully protected to avoid being lost, otherwise there will be disasters during the year. After avoiding the Dragon Boat Festival, you should throw your clothes into the water to get rid of the disaster.

Second, on the day of the blade, the poison gas attacked the body.

This day is the fifth day of May. From the meteorological point of view of the lunar calendar, it is about the summer solstice, so it is also the most prosperous day of the year. This is also a real sheep blade day. In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the blade is fierce. What is this called? Poison moon? * * * Yes? Nine poisonous days? What about Dragon Boat Festival? Nine poisons? The first, the so-called. Poison day? . From the perspective of the five elements, any kind of five elements that are too prosperous or too weak will form evil spirits, which will threaten and harm the natural climate or personal health; Besides, this season is also a time when poisonous insects and pests are rampant; Therefore, on this day, you should insert wormwood, peach skills and calamus on the door to exorcise ghosts; Smoke atractylodes rhizome and angelica dahurica, drink realgar wine, or spray realgar wine on children to drive away pests and protect health.

Third, on the day of sacrifice, Yin Qi hurt his body.

One of the most important and common contents of Dragon Boat Festival is offering sacrifices to ancestors. They not only offered sacrifices to Qu Yuan, a poet who committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, but also offered sacrifices to loyal minister Wu Zixu and filial daughter Cao E in some places. On this day, many zongzi are wrapped and then thrown into the river, just like going to the grave for the dead, and the rest are enjoyed by themselves. Therefore, zongzi is actually a sacrifice. Sadness is inevitable when offering sacrifices, so like Tomb-Sweeping Day, the Japanese artificially created a powerful Yin Qi, which, like Yang Qi, will also hurt the physically and mentally weak; Such as depression, bad mood, physical pain and so on. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival is not suitable for anything, let alone taking office, moving, starting work, opening business, getting married, celebrating and other festive activities. It is also not suitable for participating in recreational activities. It is the right choice to honor your parents and reunite with your family.

Sexual intercourse is forbidden on the day of forty-nine poisons.

As I said before, May is the month of Nine Poisons, and the Dragon Boat Festival is the first day of Nine Poisons. Poisonous gas attacks the body, and evil spirits are powerful. It is also said that it is the day of coitus between heaven and earth, which is very unsuitable for men and women to have sex. Therefore, it is not a superstition, but a very natural scientific truth. Because when the weather is wrong, it will inevitably affect people's body and mind, so if you have sex in nine poisonous days, you must be infected with evil spirits. The ancients were very clever. In order to prevent some people from lusting after sexual desire and unable to control themselves, they made taboos, so they set this day as? Mother's day? . What is this? Parenting? Mothering relatives refer to married women returning to their parents' homes to visit their families. It is said that from the first day of May to the fifth day of May, the woman will stay at her parents' home and the husband and wife will be separated, thus objectively eliminating the condition of careless sexual intercourse and ensuring the health of the parties. At the same time, the Dragon Boat Festival is not suitable for having children (just bear it for a few more days). Next is the Eight Poisonous Days, which basically covers the whole May of the lunar calendar. Therefore, in some places, sexual intercourse is forbidden throughout May to avoid evil spirits.
