They refer to the 5th, 6th, 7th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 25th, 26th and 27th days of the fifth lunar month every year. People believe that it is taboo to have sex on the Nine Poisonous Days. If you have sex during these nine days, it will easily hurt your body, consume your energy and damage your essence. In addition, it is not suitable to give birth on the Dragon Boat Festival, because the fifth month of the lunar calendar was called the "evil month" and the "poisonous month" in ancient times, and the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar is the "evil day" and the "poisonous day". In many places, there is a custom of "not giving birth in May". The ancients believed that babies born during the Dragon Boat Festival, whether male or female, could not be raised to adulthood. If raised, a male baby would harm his father and a female baby would harm her mother. Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty explained the custom of "not raising a child born on May 5th" in "Lun Heng": "The first month of the year begins, and the sun is at its peak in May. If a child is born in this month, his sperm will be hot and intense, which will overpower his parents. The parents will not be able to bear it and will suffer from it." It is generally believed that this custom has been popular since the Warring States Period. This custom is recorded in many books such as Lun Heng by Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Fengsu Tong by Ying Shao, and Book of the Later Han Dynasty. What are the taboos on the Dragon Boat Festival?1. Avoid haircuts during the Dragon Boat FestivalIn some places, it is taboo to cut hair during the Dragon Boat Festival. It is believed that if you cut your hair during the Dragon Boat Festival, ghosts will come to "cut" your hair. 2. Avoid sexual intercourse during the Dragon Boat Festival It is forbidden to have sex or indulge in lust during the Dragon Boat Festival, especially during the nine poisonous days, as having sex can easily cause "toxic" gases to invade the body and damage health. 3. Avoid swimming during the Dragon Boat Festival Swimming is taboo in some places during the Dragon Boat Festival, especially in places where accidents have happened before, because ghosts of drowned people may return to the world of the living to find a replacement. Therefore, people throw rice dumplings into the water to prevent them from finding them. If they go swimming, they will be walking into a trap. 4. Don’t throw away the sachets during the Dragon Boat Festival There is a custom of sending sachets during the Dragon Boat Festival. Children will wear sachets on this day to ward off evil spirits. But after the Dragon Boat Festival, the sachets carried by children must be burned to remove the bad luck. If the sachet is lost, the child may be restless for the whole year.
