Historical origin:

The original meaning of "Duan" in "Dragon Boat Festival" is "Zheng" and "Wu" is "Zhong". "Dragon Boat Festival" and "Chiang Kai-shek" are also right, and noon on this day is right in the middle. In midsummer afternoon, the flying dragon is in the sky. At this time, Long Xing is in the south middle school, which is the most "suitable" position to run on Sundays all year round. It is both "right" and "right" and a symbol of good luck.

The ancients always advocated the middle way and the right way, and the "middle way" was vividly displayed here. In addition, the end also means "early", so the first noon of the fifth month is also called Dragon Boat Festival.
