What is the difference between the Big Dragon Boat Festival and the Small Dragon Boat Festival? Why do some people celebrate the Big Dragon Boat Festival?
In fact, strictly speaking, my country's Dragon Boat Festival is divided into the Big Dragon Boat Festival and the Small Dragon Boat Festival. What is the reason for this? Why do some people celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival? Let’s find out together. The first noon of the fifth lunar month, in midsummer, is a good day for climbing Shunyang. Let us welcome the Dragon Boat Festival and experience the 2018 Dragon Boat Festival together on the Fortune Teller website.The difference between the Big Dragon Boat Festival and the Small Dragon Boat FestivalIn fact, there is not much difference between the Big Dragon Boat Festival and the Small Dragon Boat Festival, just the time is different. People in some places have the saying of three Dragon Boat Festivals. The fifth day of the lunar calendar is the first Dragon Boat Festival, the fifteenth is the Big Dragon Boat Festival, and the twenty-fifth is the Small Dragon Boat Festival. Therefore, there is the saying of Big and Small Dragon Boat Festival. Moreover, in areas such as Mayang, Luxi, and Yuanling, few people celebrated the fifth day of May. They all celebrated the fifteenth day of May, which is the Mid-May. This situation changed after it became a legal holiday.Why do some places celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival?There are two versions currently circulating:1. In those days, Qu Yuan passed Ezhu, entered Dongting Lake, went up the Yuan River, passed Wanglu, arrived at Chenyang, and entered Xupu. Soon after, he went down the Yuan River, entered Dongting Lake, crossed the Xiang River, and arrived at the Miluo River near Changsha. In extreme depression and complete despair, he committed suicide by jumping into the river on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It was more than ten days after the bad news reached Xiangxi, so the Dragon Boat Festival in Xiangxi is 10 days later than in other places. 2. In the first year of the Jianwu reign of the Han Dynasty, General Ma Yuan led his troops to conquer the west. It was the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the Small Dragon Boat Festival. Ma Yuan knew that "the barbarian chiefs would be drunk" during the Dragon Boat Festival, so he told his men not to celebrate the Small Dragon Boat Festival for the time being, and to celebrate the Big Dragon Boat Festival with everyone after the victory. Sure enough, the enemy was really drunk, and Ma Yuan quickly defeated his opponent, conquered the area of western Hunan, and on the fifteenth day of the fifth lunar month, he slaughtered pigs and sheep to reward the three armies. Therefore, the area of western Hunan celebrated the Big Dragon Boat Festival on this day. |
