Dragon Boat Festival: Don’t Say Happiness, Say Health

Why do we say “good health” instead of “happy” during Dragon Boat Festival?

On this day people usually hang calamus, mugwort, etc. to ward off evil spirits. Later, because of Qu Yuan's jumping into the river, the influence of this festival increased, and gradually, people turned it into a festival of sacrifice. Therefore, the best way to wish for the Dragon Boat Festival is to wish for good health rather than happiness. 4
