Which hand is better to wear colorful rope?

Usually, the colored rope of Dragon Boat Festival is worn by boys with their left hands and girls with their right hands. Others will be worn on the ankles. In fact, the colored rope of the Dragon Boat Festival has been rising since the Han Dynasty and has been passed down to this day. It is one of the important customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, and it has a beautiful meaning of praying for peace and health.

Don't talk while wearing colored ropes. I remember when I was a child, my mother told me in advance that I couldn't talk every time she put a colored rope on me. Why didn't I ask? I just feel mysterious, just like having a baby and not being able to make public. However, on second thought, this is the same as when we usually make birthday wishes, so we should keep it in mind silently and not say it. People will think that it can't be realized if it is said.

You can't tear it up or throw it away at will. After putting on colorful ropes on the Dragon Boat Festival, you should take good care of them, and you should not tear them off casually, let alone throw them away, even if you usually wash your hands and take a bath.

It will last until the seventh day of July. It is said that this day is Qi's birthday. Only on this day can the colored rope be removed and pressed under the big stone. When it rains heavily at night, the rain will wash away the colorful rope, and the colorful rope will eventually become a colorful snake, taking away all the bad luck.

The historical origin of polychromatic lines;

Dragon Boat Festival is a colorful festival, which is an ancient traditional custom of Han nationality. Multicolored thread is the mascot and ornament of Dragon Boat Festival, which has the function of exorcising evil spirits and praying for the beautiful meaning of Najib. In midsummer, dragons fly in the sky, and the dragon spirit (yang) is strong, and all evils are avoided. Noon is an auspicious day to ward off evil spirits, which leads to a series of customs to ward off evil spirits, among which five-color silk thread tying the arm is one of the customs to ward off evil spirits in the Dragon Boat Festival.

Five-color silk thread originated from the concept of five elements in ancient China. In ancient China, it was advocated that five colors were auspicious colors, and it was a popular holiday custom to tie arms with five-color silk thread during the Dragon Boat Festival. Since the Han Dynasty, this custom has spread all over the country. It is recorded in Ying Shao's "Customs Tongyi" in the Eastern Han Dynasty that tying it to the arm can avoid diseases, ghosts and epidemics.

In Bao Pu Zi written by Ge Hong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there is also a description of five-color paper hanging on the mountain to summon five ghosts and gods, which probably means that five colors symbolize that five ghosts and gods protect each other. The Chronicle of Jingchu said: "It is not a disease to tie your arms with colorful silks, which is called' Bing Bing'. These customs spread to later generations, that is, they developed into a variety of exquisite ornaments, which became increasingly exquisite and became a unique folk art of the Dragon Boat Festival.
