#节日记录 Dragon Boat Festival/ Today's holiday, a little sleep with the children, waiting for the sunrise to rise, before going out.
Today's Dragon Boat Festival, the first thing is naturally to take the children to the field to cut mugwort leaves, and then drive to the suburbs to cut calamus, and then send mugwort calamus to Grandma and Grandpa's family. One part, the red rope is tied and hung on the door; the other part, keeping boiling water for bathing. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, the old Xia family is mostly like this, and since the birth of the children, it is basically the same.
Rice dumplings? Nature is to eat, the old mother began to wrap rice dumplings the day before yesterday to boil rice dumplings.
But this mugwort and calamus, the children are not as direct as the rice dumplings into the mouth, need to be properly explained...
In the Dragon Boat Festival of the ancients, in the long-standing folk, although there may be some specific differences between the north and the south and the east, mugwort and calamus are basically the two-flavor festival plant common in Chinese culture!
Casually asking an old man on the street why the Dragon Boat Festival, he will probably say "ward off evil spirits", and there is almost a consensus.
So, is the "evil" mentioned here a ghost?
NO！ If you change it to "yin evil", this must be correct!
The wetness of midsummer, the cold of winter and spring, wet and cold are all evil.
In the midsummer Dragon Boat Festival, although the yang in the sky is in the middle of the sky, but a considerable amount of the land in the northern hemisphere of China is the season of plum rain, wet evil is in full swing; winter and spring have gone, but the ground, especially the human body, the cold and evil accumulated in the past, it will take some time to force it to go out.
Wet evil is the most prone to impure motives, it is not only the most likely to collude with Chen Han, the inside should be combined with the outside, and the wet cold is knotted; it is also easy to be entangled with the heat of midsummer and become wet and hot; even, it is also in love with wind and evil, and it is accompanied by whiteheads and become rheumatism.
Very early Chinese ancients found that by midsummer Dragon Boat Festival, people often feel that the body is most likely to be heavy, tired, sleepy, the mind is wrapped or not very clear, the diet is not pleasant, or how much stool is sticky, or common skin swelling and itching. What's more, in the southern watery land, jungle and mountainous land, there are often miasmas, coming and going without a trace, such as ghosts and evil things (later learned, it is the plague caused by damp heat and miscellaneous poisons).
If there is evil in the world, it is natural to ward off evil!
The first one is the midsummer wet evil, and the ð hanging sword removes it. It just so happens that calamus, like a sword in the water, is born in the yin water, the water is wet and inviolable, it has its own yang qi, its leaves are like swords, and its qi is fragrant.
And Ai Ye? The ancients believed that it was "pure yang nature", "can return to the yang of extinction, through the twelve sutras, walk the three yin, rationalize the qi and blood, and chase the cold and wet" ("Materia Medica from new"), to dispel the cold of winter and spring, it seems that ð it!
Both are bitter, spicy, and warm things, both have their own fragrance, spicy has a dispersal force, warm and cold evil, bitter and dry water wet.
From the image point of view, the essence of the mugwort ð soil, although it is herbaceous, it has a wooden shape, to the Dragon Boat Festival, upright zhongzheng, outstanding to the sun, and the evil charm is far away;
Calamus, whether it is water calamus or stone calamus, is born from the water, transforming the water and the yin, the leaf sword heavenly finger, and the wet phlegm is invincible.
ð！ That's it for two!!
Hanging on the lintel, inserted in the study, sleeping room, the fragrance of the shower, not only can "replenish the heart", wake up the mind, insects and mosquitoes ð ¦ are consciously away.
On the "Zhengyang Water" sunburned at noon of the Dragon Boat Festival, boiling a local egg with a shell with mugwort calamus, boiling a basin of bathing water, the old and young get rid of a lot of chen cold and wet evil from the inside out, people seem to be a lot more relaxed, from clothes to hair skin are fragrant.
However, D uses modern pharmacology to slightly remind: the water of both is not recommended to drink ha directly, you are not good at mastering!
The ancients boiled eggs with shells, shelled eggs to eat eggs, and hung incense, but it looked casual, in fact, it was quite exquisite!
This Dragon Boat Festival, did you move calamus and ai ye?
