Why do you wear new clothes on Dragon Boat Festival?

Many people don't know whether to wear new clothes for the Dragon Boat Festival. In fact, the Dragon Boat Festival traditionally requires children to wear new clothes. I don't know the origin. Let's take a look today ~

Why do you wear new clothes on Dragon Boat Festival?

On the Dragon Boat Festival, every child has to wear new clothes. I wonder why. In ancient times, people celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival not only to commemorate Qu Yuan, but also as a folk festival to prevent diseases, ward off evil spirits and drive away drugs, and pray for health. On this day, every household should dress the baby with "five poison clothes", which can ward off evil spirits and eliminate filth, so that the child can grow up safely and healthily.

The clothes with five poisons are bright yellow, and there are tigers, snakes, scorpions, centipedes, geckos and toads on them, which are beautiful and mysterious. The five poison clothes are made according to the traditional style. In the past, children had to wear this kind of clothes on the Dragon Boat Festival.

Because there used to be a saying that the weather in May of the lunar calendar is hot and humid, people are prone to get sick, and all kinds of poisonous snakes and insects are also very active, and they may be bitten if they are not careful, so May is also called' poisonous month' and' evil month'. Dressing children in five-poison clothes, tiger-head shoes and tiger-head hats, and winding five-color silk threads around their necks, wrists and ankles can ward off evil spirits and make children grow up healthily and safely. "Of course, few parents will dress their children in poisonous clothes now, but the custom of dressing their children in new clothes on the Dragon Boat Festival has continued.

In fact, wearing new clothes is not just a privilege for children. Who is not a baby? Don't think it unnecessary to buy clothes often. In fact, it is also a very good habit to buy yourself a new dress every year during the Dragon Boat Festival. I feel that this life is more ceremonial.
