The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, 6 taboos to keep in mind, meaning: drive away bad luck and welcome good signs!
1. Avoid losing sachets
In our local area on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, there is a custom of children wearing sachets, especially in our north, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, almost every household has to wear sachets for children, it used to be made by the elderly, put some wormwood and the like, now it is to buy ready-made, all kinds, one is more beautiful than the other. So why do you say that you should not throw sachets on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival? That's because wearing a sachet for children not only has the meaning of warding off evil spirits and driving away pestilence, but also the wind of embellishing the placket, so after the child wears the sachet, we adults should tell him not to lose it, because this sachet also has the saying of protecting the child.
2. Avoid sending strings of zongzi
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, many people will visit relatives and friends, and the best gift is to give zongzi, but do you know? Sending zongzi is also particular, this attention is to send out zongzi, it can not be in a string, but should be scattered, why is this? It is said that ah! This is the old generation's exquisiteness, the old generation's thinking is like this, they think that a string of zongzi is like hanging meat zongzi, a bit of hanging meaning, it feels very unlucky, so it is very taboo to send a string of zongzi, maybe in order to ask for an auspicious one! It's better for everyone to send loose zongzi, don't you say?
3. Avoid eating your mother's zongzi
What does it mean to avoid eating your mother's zongzi? is that the daughter who got married can't eat her mother's zongzi on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, why is this? Because a long time ago, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, there was a custom of returning to her parents' home for her daughters who got married, but she couldn't go back to her parents' house empty-handed, and the most important gift was zongzi. There was such a saying among the people: that is, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, if the married daughter eats her mother's zongzi, then there is no one left in her mother's family, which is not a curse, let alone a threat, it may be a little exquisiteness of the older generation!
4. Do not swim
Why is it forbidden to swim on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival? First of all, if you are in the countryside, there is no swimming pool, then if you want to swim, you have to go to the big river, not to mention the danger of the water is still cold, so it is better not to go, especially children. This is only one of the reasons, there is another reason, that is, the older generation thinks that on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the "drowned ghost" may be the most fierce, and they want to find a substitute to "return to the yang", so it is very unsafe to swim on this day, although the old generation has no basis for this statement, but after all, the river depth is not safe to be true, so we still don't swim for good!
5. Avoid the five poisons
On the occasion of the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather will become warmer and hotter, at this time bacteria breed, first of all, people are very prone to heat stroke, and some animals have woken up, such as centipedes, geckos, toads, scorpions, snakes, etc., so there is a custom of "avoiding the five poisons" of the Dragon Boat Festival.
