Can’t we have sex during the Dragon Boat Festival? What does Guining mean?
The fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar is the traditional Chinese festival - Dragon Boat Festival. Traditional festivals have many rules and taboos, and sexual intercourse between husband and wife is one of them. So, couples can’t have sex during the Dragon Boat Festival? What does Guining mean? The fifth month of the lunar calendar is a beautiful time as described by the ancients: "The ground is covered with shade from the trees, the sun is at noon, and I wake up from my dream by the sound of a nightingale." For more information about the auspicious and inauspicious days in the fifth month of the lunar calendar in 2019, please visit Mr. Shuimo's website.Can’t couples have sex during the Dragon Boat Festival?May is the month of nine poisons, and the Dragon Boat Festival is the day of nine poisons, and sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited.Because on the first day of the Nine Poisons, poisonous gas attacks the body and evil energy is strong. It is also said to be the day when heaven and earth meet, which is not suitable for sexual intercourse between men and women. Therefore, ancient teachings strictly forbid sexual intercourse. This is not superstition, but a very natural scientific truth. When the energy field of heaven and earth is not right, it will inevitably affect people's body and mind. Therefore, if you have sex on the Nine Poisonous Days, you will definitely be poisoned and injured. What does Guining mean?Regarding the affairs of couples during the Dragon Boat Festival, in order to prevent some people from being greedy for sexual desire and unable to control themselves, and thus breaking taboos, the ancients designated this day as the "Returning Home Day" .The so-called return home means that a married woman returns to her parents' home to visit her parents. Normally, from the first to the fifth day of May, women should return to their parents' home and spend the time there, with the couple separated. This objectively eliminates the conditions for accidental sexual intercourse and protects the health of the parties involved. At the same time, the Dragon Boat Festival is not suitable for childbirth (if you can bear it, just endure it for a few more days). There are eight more poisonous days coming up, which basically cover the entire fifth month of the lunar calendar. Therefore, in some places, sexual intercourse is prohibited throughout the entire fifth month to avoid evil spirits and poisons. |
