The origin and customs of Dragon Boat Festival;
1. The origin of Dragon Boat Festival
It was first recorded in Wu County of Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty and Zonggu in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. "Family deep sorrow for thousands of years, loyal soul can also be entrusted. What country is dead today, leaving only Li Sao in the world. "
When Kyoto, the state of Chu, was breached, Qu Yuan's heart ached, so it was hard to abandon his country. On the fifth day of May, Qu Yuan wrote to Huai Sha and threw himself into the river with grief and indignation. The people of Chu were very sad when they heard the news. They rushed to the Miluo River to pay their respects to Qu Yuan. The fisherman paddled the boat and fished for his real body back and forth on the river.
A fisherman took out rice balls, eggs and other foods prepared for Qu Yuan and threw them into the river, saying that ichthyosaurs, shrimps and crabs were full and would not bite the doctor. People followed suit after seeing it. Then it developed into the Dragon Boat Festival custom of making zongzi and boiling eggs. People also row dragon boats to disperse evil dragons, so as not to hurt Qu Yuan's body.
2. The custom of Dragon Boat Festival
Wrap rice with bamboo leaves and make pointed corn (that is, zongzi). Later, people did this, and gradually formed the habit of contracting jiaozi. "There is afternoon sunshine in May, and jiaozi fried dough sticks are soaked in realgar." During the Dragon Boat Festival, people not only eat zongzi, but also eat fried food.
There is a folk proverb that says, "Willows are inserted in Qingming Festival and Ai is inserted in Dragon Boat Festival". On the Dragon Boat Festival, people regard inserting wormwood and calamus as one of the important contents. Every family sweeps the court, puts calamus and moxa sticks between their eyebrows and hangs them in the class. Acorus calamus, Folium Artemisiae Argyi, Liu Hua, Garlic, and Dragon Boat Flower are made into human or tiger shapes, which can drive away malaria.
