What are the customs of Ganzhou Dragon Boat Festival?

1, eat zongzi. There is a saying in southern Jiangxi that "after eating May Zongzi, cold clothes will be put in the box", which means that after eating Dragon Boat Festival Zongzi, cold clothes will be put in the box.

2. Dragon boat race. The village by the river used to have this activity almost every year during the Dragon Boat Festival. The audience was blocked in the dragon boat race, which was very lively.

3. Send the Dragon Boat Festival. If you are engaged but not married, the man's family will send zongzi and other gifts to the woman's family, and the woman's family will return an umbrella. Married daughters send Dragon Boat Festival to their parents, and most of the gifts from their parents are fans of Pu Ye. However, it is difficult to see the return of umbrellas and thin leaf fans. )

4. Hang calamus. Acorus calamus, peach branches, wormwood and garlic will be hung on the doors of every household during the Dragon Boat Festival, which can not only ward off evil insects, but also ward off evil spirits.

5. Wash a hundred herbs. At night, every household should take a bath with calamus, wormwood, toad vine, camphor tree branches and other herbs, which is said to ward off evil spirits. My parents fry a big pot every year during the Dragon Boat Festival.

6. Sacrifice the land god. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, on holidays, Hakka people in southern Jiangxi go to worship the land god, because "the land god is the patron saint of Hakka people", and the Dragon Boat Festival is no exception.

7. Pei box. On the Dragon Boat Festival, children and women usually have the custom of matching sachets. The perfume contained in the sachet is generally made of dried wormwood, calamus root, litsea cubeba, angelica dahurica, Ligusticum chuanxiong, cinnamon and so on. It smells good when worn on the chest corner. Others wear "longevity wisps" made of colored silk threads on their wrists and arms. I wore it when I was a kid.

8. Drink realgar. Dragon Boat Festival also has the custom of introducing realgar wine. Children who are not old enough to drink alcohol should apply realgar wine on their foreheads, ears, temples, heart sockets, navel and palms to disinfect and prevent insect bites.
