The most important part of the Dragon Boat Festival is to worship ancestors. Sadness is inevitable during sacrifices, so this day is not suitable for blessing others, and it is certainly not suitable for holding or participating in festive activities such as business openings, weddings, and celebrations. The Dragon Boat Festival is on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar every year, which is the "Yang Gong's death anniversary" and an unlucky day when everything goes wrong.2. Avoid swimming in the river. Since May is an "evil month" and Double Fifth is an unlucky day, swimming is not allowed on this day in some places, especially swimming in places where people have drowned. Because on the Dragon Boat Festival the "drowned ghosts" are the most ferocious and need to find a substitute to "resurrect", so people throw rice dumplings into the river to let the "drowned ghosts" eat more rice dumplings and not come out to look for substitutes. 3. Avoid eating rice dumplings from your mother’s home. In ancient times, after a daughter got married, she would live in her husband’s home for a long time and rarely see her parents. From the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a custom of returning to one's parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival. However, in Shandong area, there is a tradition that married girls stay at their parents' home and do not need to return to their husband's home before the Dragon Boat Festival, which means they cannot celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival at their parents' home. As the saying goes, "If you eat the Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings from your mother's home, your whole family will die." 4. Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. The ancients believed that May was the nine poisonous month, and the Dragon Boat Festival was the first day of the nine poisonous days. 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. Therefore, ancient teachings strictly forbid sexual intercourse during the Dragon Boat Festival and stipulate that from the first to the fifth day of May, women should return to their parents' home and spend the time there. Husbands and wives should separate and this day is designated as the "Returning Home Day." |
