What are the five colors of colorful rope

The five colors of colorful rope are white, red, black, yellow and green.

The five colors are regarded as auspicious, so the ancients tied colorful ropes at the Dragon Boat Festival, which means to pray for good fortune. Weaving colorful rope is not randomly using five colors, but must be white, red, black, yellow and green. The five colors originated from the ancient concept of the five elements, representing gold, fire, water, earth and wood. The ancients revered the five colors and considered them auspicious.

Tying colorful ropes to children was an important custom of the Dragon Boat Festival in ancient times, with the beautiful symbolism of praying for good fortune. However, this custom has developed into various forms in modern times, with not only colorful ropes, but also beautiful and interesting ornaments such as scented sachets.

Introduction of colorful ropes

Wearing colorful ropes on the Dragon Boat Festival is a custom that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day, and contains a strong traditional culture. Therefore, from wearing to taking off, there are many details and precautions to pay attention to, and we should always respect it. It is the good wishes of the wearer and the inheritance of national culture. After wearing the colorful rope on the Dragon Boat Festival, we should take care of it carefully and lovingly, and we should not just rip it off or throw it away.

Even if you usually wash your hands and take a bath, you can't take it off. On the seventh day of the seventh month, which is said to be the birthday of the "Seven Mothers", you can take it off. On this day, you can take off the colorful rope and press it under a big stone. When it rains heavily at night, the rain will wash away the colorful rope, which will eventually turn into a colorful snake, taking away all the bad luck.
