Customs of Han festivals: What is the water at noon on Dragon Boat Festival?

Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, parents will sprinkle some pure water and realgar powder in various parts of the house, which will also make you drink this kind of water. So what the hell is this? Did you say anything? This traditional festival will show you the customs of Han festivals: What is the water at noon on Dragon Boat Festival?

Afternoon water, a holiday custom of the Han nationality, refers to the water that is drilled at noon on the Dragon Boat Festival. In Taiwan Province Province, during the Dragon Boat Festival, every household still has the custom of drinking water at noon. It is said that the water used to make tea and wine at noon is particularly mellow, and drinking raw water even has a miraculous effect on treating diseases. There is a proverb: "Wash your eyes at noon, and you will be as bright as a bird." He also said, "It is better to take a sip of water at noon and take tonic for three years."

Dragon Boat Festival noon: On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month (noon 1 1: 00 to 13: 00, noon 12: 00), the water pumped from the well has no roots. Afternoon water: the rain received when it rains at noon on Dragon Boat Festival.

Summer afternoon water: In southern Fujian, the core of melon (cucumber) is soaked in salt to make summer afternoon water.

Afternoon water has three functions, one is to drink, make tea or make afternoon water to relieve the heat, and even make wine; The second is to take a bath; The third is cleaning; People add some white wine and a little realgar powder (Chinese medicine) to the water at noon to spray rooms and courtyards, or to bathe, wash faces, wash hands and feet. Legend has it that anyone who drinks afternoon water can live to be over 98 years old; Take a bath with afternoon water and realgar, and you won't get prickly heat that summer, and you won't be bitten by snakes when you go out.

Legend has it that the most legendary midday water comes from the sword well on the anvil mountain in Dajia Town. Legend has it that this well is where Zheng Chenggong inserted his sword to pray for spring. It is said that Zheng Chenggong occupied Taiwan Province Province in the late Ming Dynasty, and his troops arrived at Anvil Mountain in Dajia Town in central China during the Dragon Boat Festival. At that time, the weather was very hot, the soldiers were thirsty, and there was no water around, so Zheng Chenggong put his sword into the ground at noon and prayed for the arrival of spring. After Zheng Chenggong drew his sword, mountain springs burst forth, and later this place was called "sword well". Because there is a legend that Zheng Chenggong inserted a sword to seek a spring, and the place of Anvil Mountain is said to have fairy grass since ancient times, the afternoon water gushing from this "sword well" becomes even more magical. Every Dragon Boat Festival, people who grab water at noon next to Jianjing are always crowded and stuffy. It is said that when you look at this well at noon on the Dragon Boat Festival, you can also see the shadow of Zheng Chenggong. And those who see the sword shadow will not have a disaster this year.

Since then, many people go to Jianjing to get water every afternoon of Dragon Boat Festival. Gradually, all parts of Taiwan Province Province have the habit of drinking water at noon on the Dragon Boat Festival. It is also said that if someone can watch the sword shadow in the well at noon on the Dragon Boat Festival, it means that he will have a safe and smooth year and stay away from disaster!

The traditional custom of drinking water at noon has been circulating in the tradition of our hometown for a long time. Due to the defects of knowledge and documents, its details cannot be verified, but it must be widely circulated in Chaoshan area (I hope someone can visit it).

When I was a child, during the Dragon Boat Festival, I often listened to my mother tell all kinds of magical stories, and noon water was one of them. I remember the good words of my predecessors at that time were described as follows: Spring water and well water extracted at noon on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month can be preserved for a long time without deterioration, and this kind of water has extraordinary functions.

Generally speaking, we will add grains to the afternoon water to make "grain water", which is said to be used for washing face and body, which can keep people safe, somewhat similar to the baptism of western religions. There is also a custom. When I was a child, my grandfather and I would take a bath on this day and feel the special water of the Dragon Boat Festival, which has gradually disappeared.
