How to spend the Dragon Boat Festival in Zhejiang?

During the Dragon Boat Festival in Zhejiang, there are customs such as painting Dragon Boat Tigers, wearing colored hand ropes, eating Huang Wu Bai Liu, eating garlic eggs, inserting mugwort leaves and hanging calamus. 1, Draw the Dragon Boat Festival Tiger: Drawing the Dragon Boat Festival Tiger is a very important custom for Ningbo people to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. People want to use the tiger, the king of beasts, to curb the five poisons of snakes, centipedes, lizards, spiders and scorpions. 2. Wear a five-color hand rope: On the Dragon Boat Festival, Ningbo people tie a five-color hand rope on their children's arms, which is called a health rope. When the rope is abandoned, glutinous rice will stick to the tiles on the roof and let the birds take it away, so that children can live a long life without disease and pain. 3. Eat Huang Wu and Bai Liu: There is an old saying in Ningbo dialect: When you are busy, don't forget May Yellow. Huang Wu refers to cucumber, egg yolk, yellow croaker, Monopterus albus and Monopterus albus, and sometimes realgar wine is used instead of one of them. Liubai refers to water bamboo, Chinese cabbage, tofu, striped fish, boiled chicken and boiled meat. The older generation said that eating Huang Wu Bai Liu can ward off evil spirits and pray.

The Dragon Boat Festival began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has a history of more than 2,000 years. About the origin, there are sayings about commemorating Qu Yuan, Wu Zixu and Cao E, the filial daughter of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the saying about commemorating Qu Yuan is the most popular. It is said that after Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, people threw rice balls into the river to prevent fish and shrimp from ruining Qu Yuan's body, and later formed the custom of eating zongzi. The word "Duan" means "early" and "Dragon Boat Festival" is the fifth day. According to the calendar, May is the "noon" month, so the "Dragon Boat Festival" evolved into the "Dragon Boat Festival". Dragon Boat Festival is also called Mid-Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Daughter's Day.
