There is a custom of wearing colored silk thread for children on the Dragon Boat Festival. What is this for?
This is a folk custom, mainly praying for getting rid of illness and strengthening the body, but also praying for Najib's well-being. Multicolored silk thread has five colors: red, yellow-green, white and black. Five colors represent five elements and can also represent five directions. The five elements complement each other, so the ancients thought that the five colors played a mysterious role in exorcising evil spirits and welcoming happiness.
