What are the customs of Dragon Boat Festival in Ryan?

On the Dragon Boat Festival, it is still popular in Ryan to hang wormwood and calamus swords on doors and windows. Because the month and date overlap as "five", Ruian people are used to calling "Dragon Boat Festival" "five festivals".

According to "Chronology of Jingchu": "Ai Cai is a man with poison gas hanging on his door." According to Volume V of Jia Qinglu: "Depp is a sword, Peng is a whip, and the deputy is a peach stalk garlic, which is hung on the bed to drive away ghosts."

Dragon Boat Festival is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year. According to Jingchu's Chronicle of the Year, because it climbs the mountain in midsummer and the sun shines brightly in May, its first afternoon is the day when it climbs the mountain to bask in the sun, so the Dragon Boat Festival is also called Duanyang Festival, in addition, it is also called Noon Festival, Noon Festival, May Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Orchid Bathing Festival. As early as the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, there was a record of "bathing in orchids on May 5", so it was also called "Orchid Bathing Festival".
