What month is the fifth month of the lunar calendar?

The fifth month of the lunar calendar is usually around the sixth month of the solar calendar! According to the 24 solar terms, the fifth month of the lunar calendar is the middle of summer, so May is called "midsummer" or "midsummer". The beginning of May is the time of the year when Yang energy is at its peak. However, excessive Yang energy is not necessarily a good thing, so May is also called the "poisonous month."

This month's traditions

Mud Fight In some areas, especially those where rice is grown, there is a custom of "mud fight". When transplanting rice seedlings, people throw mud at each other, which is quite similar to the customs of the Water-Splashing Festival. This is a custom of praying for a good harvest. However, with the development of society, the custom of the Mud Festival has gradually decreased. However, the mud fight, which is now popular in foreign countries, has the effect of improving skin and treating diseases.
The most well-known festival in May is the Dragon Boat Festival, and there are many customs for the Dragon Boat Festival, such as hanging calamus on the door, collecting mugwort at home, eating rice dumplings, etc. Calamus and mugwort have the effect of repelling mosquitoes, expelling evil spirits and concentrating the mind. In rural areas, the mugwort picked and dried on the Dragon Boat Festival has great medicinal value, but its effect will be limited after the Dragon Boat Festival.

What are the taboos in May?
