Today is the traditional festival Dragon Boat Festival, in the folk, there is such a saying called "Dragon Boat Festival two do not go, go to relatives abandon", saying that during the Dragon Boat Festival, there are two places that cannot go, otherwise it may lead to estrangement or even rupture of the relationship with relatives.
So, does this saying make sense? Which two places can't go? Today, let's find out.
First, you can't go to the riverside or water
During the Dragon Boat Festival, people take a holiday to rest, make rice dumplings at home, fry vegetable corners, and go to watch dragon boat races. But the ancients warned us that it is better not to go alone to rivers or places where there is water.
Why? The ancients believed that during the Dragon Boat Festival, it was basically the height of summer, and in such a season, it was very easy to have strong convective weather, and it was likely that the sky was clear just now, and in a blink of an eye, the downpour arrived.
If you go alone to the river or a place where there is water to play at this time, you are not familiar with the water conditions here, and the surface of the river looks calm, but you do not know that the water is full of dangers. If people go into the water, it is very dangerous. Because heavy rainfall can cause the river to suddenly rise and then it may wash people away. Therefore, if you go to the river or lake alone during the Dragon Boat Festival to walk and play, it is very dangerous.
We know that the southern water network is dense, and the tragedy of drowning happens a lot every year. In the north, it is no exception, and many children swim in the river during the Dragon Boat Festival every year, resulting in drowning tragedies.
The Dragon Boat Festival was established to commemorate Qu Yuan's surrender to the river, so some people think that the riverside during the Dragon Boat Festival is an ominous place, it is easy to provoke water ghosts or drown, it is best not to go casually.
Of course, this statement is not reliable, but during the Dragon Boat Festival, it is best not to go swimming or playing in the river to avoid accidents. If you have to go to the river to play, you should also pay attention to your own safety, it is best to tie a five-color thread or wear a talisman such as a sachet on your body to seek peace.
Second, do not go to the wild alone
Dragon Boat Festival, in addition to not going to the river to play, go swimming in the river, do not go to the wild alone.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, people also like to go out to play, and many people also like to explore in the wild, but they don't know that the dangers of the wild are always present.
The Dragon Boat Festival in May is often called the Five Poison Moon, because as the temperature gradually rises and the precipitation increases, the humid heat and evil qi in the wild will increase, and it will enter the human body at any time. At this time, if you go to the wild to play, if you don't pay attention, wet poison will take the opportunity to enter, damage people's health, and some serious diseases will appear.
At the same time, the wild forest is deep and dense, it is the concentration period when snakes, insects, centipedes and other poisonous insects begin to infestation, at this time, if you go out alone to the wild to play and explore, these places are remote and remote, coupled with unfamiliar life, the environment is dangerous, if you are attacked by these poisonous insects at this time, and no one else comes to help, it will cause life danger.
In short, the saying "don't go to the Dragon Boat Festival, go to relatives to abandon", is a lesson learned by the ancients through long-term life practice, although it is a bit exaggerated, but there is still some truth. Even today, it still has reference value.
Therefore, when we celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, we must not only respect traditions, but also adapt to the changes of the times, and spend the Dragon Boat Festival in a more diverse and interesting way of celebration.
