What are the customs around the Dragon Boat Festival?

The customs around the Dragon Boat Festival are as follows:

1, Guangdong?

Guangdong people have many unique customs to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, but many customs are rarely heard of now, such as hanging sachets and lighting moxa sticks. The customs passed down in Guangdong now mainly include dragon boat fishing, eating zongzi, hanging mugwort sticks, flying kites (kites), having a big lunch for the whole family, and taking a bath with medicine (boiling bitter grass and wheat medicine to bathe children, and young people will go to the seaside or river to bathe).

In order to adapt to this hot weather, Guangdong, located in the subtropical zone, took various measures to prevent viruses, cool off summer heat and avoid disasters on May, and gradually formed various customs. The southern river network is vertical and horizontal, and water sports have a long history. Cantonese people not only inherit culture by customs, but also make the Dragon Boat Festival more festive. In addition to the custom of eating zongzi, it also has rich connotations of national epidemic prevention and fitness. ?
