Dragon boat festival-always drink tea and enjoy health.

The end is the beginning. "

Dragon Boat Festival is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year.

May is midsummer,

Its first afternoon was a sunny day.

Therefore, the fifth day of May is also called Duanyang Festival.

In some traditional festivals, tea, as the first choice to welcome guests and worship ancestors, has always been followed by Chinese people.

The custom of drinking tea on Dragon Boat Festival originated from drinking realgar wine. Wang Zengqi mentioned realgar wine in Duck Eggs at Dragon Boat Festival, and the article said, "Drink realgar wine. Draw a' king' on the child's forehead with realgar mixed with wine, which is likened to a tiger threatening evil spirits. " The main component of realgar wine is arsenic sulfide, which has antibacterial and anthelmintic effects. However, realgar wine is hot and requires strong tea to solve it. Generally, families with a large population will always make a teapot with strong tea for their families to drink.

Eating zongzi is also a major custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. Zongzi is delicious, but it is not easy to digest. Especially now, meat dumplings, bean paste, egg yolk and other ingredients are more abundant. Some zongzi that are too greasy, fat and high in protein may cause indigestion, flatulence and even illness. Therefore, eating zongzi should be a pot of tea, a mouthful of zongzi and a mouthful of warm tea, which will help digestion and relieve greasy.

At the same time, with the hot summer after the Dragon Boat Festival, germs breed, which is the high incidence season of influenza. At this time, drinking tea often helps to improve immunity and effectively resist germs and viruses.
