What will grandma buy for her grandson in April?

The main point here is that/kloc-children under 0/2 years old, in some places, according to the old tradition, in April, grandma will tie a thin red rope around their wrists and ankles, or make a sachet to hang on it to avoid mosquitoes and bless their grandchildren's healthy and happy growth. Because it is a leap in April, before the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is already hot and there are many mosquitoes! If there is no such attention in the local area, then it is not necessary! In some rural areas, this emphasis is based on the traditional custom of avoiding the "five poisons": snakes, scorpions, centipedes, geckos and toads during the Dragon Boat Festival in previous years. Because we all know that the Dragon Boat Festival is our traditional festival, there is a folk saying: "Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is hot, the five poisons wake up, and there is no peace." However, this year is April, and the Dragon Boat Festival is on Thursday, June 25th. Then from the early harvest of wheat in Henan this year, we can feel that the weather is already hot. According to the current temperature, the "five poisons" have begun to be active. Then, among the people, there is a traditional custom that has been handed down in some places, that is, praying for children aged 12 in advance. This means that the elders care about the younger generation, not that grandma will spend money on other things for the children.

In the traditional folk custom of Dragon Boat Festival, many places have the custom of hanging wormwood, making zongzi and boiling wormwood eggs in front of the door. In some places, it is also the custom to dress children in red Chinese corsets and tie colorful ropes around their wrists. Girls will also tie colorful ropes around their ankles, or make a fragrant bag with five poisons by hand, which also contains whole grains to celebrate the harvest and symbolize good luck. However, in recent years, I found that the custom of tying red rope on children's wrists during the Dragon Boat Festival is rare in the village, and other customs have been preserved by the villagers. Or maybe it's because the children are less around grandma? Young mothers don't understand these traditional customs? Or there are no colorful ropes around.

So what? In April, in some rural areas, because of the hot weather, people are afraid of mosquitoes biting children, but according to traditional customs, they just take more care of children. If there is this custom in the local area, grandma will usually prepare colorful ropes or red ropes, or make sachets to tie on her wrists for her grandchildren, which means getting rid of diseases and eliminating disasters. If there is no local pressure, there is no need to do so. If you are an adult grandson, you should pay more attention to your grandmother, buy her some delicious snacks and fruits and see what she should do.
