Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival after the Spring Festival. Seeing the bumper harvest of rape and the return of wheat to green, people's labor finally gained. Finding a reason to have a holiday at this time can really restore people's fatigue. During the festival, eating and drinking are essential, and mung bean cakes and zongzi have become essential foods for the Dragon Boat Festival. Mung bean cake is a cake made of cooked food. First, the mung beans are cooked, dried, peeled and ground into mature mung bean powder, and then sugar powder and sesame oil are added to the mold for molding. The mung bean cake made of pure mung bean powder is dark in color and slightly fishy in taste. Yellow is a beautiful color, probably with pigment. In order to diversify the taste of mung bean cakes, food manufacturers added different fillings, and mung bean cakes with different tastes appeared in the market. Because mung beans have always been considered to have the function of clearing away heat and detoxifying, eating mung bean cakes on Dragon Boat Festival not only satisfies people's appetite, but also has the expectation of expelling toxins from the body all winter, and welcomes the arrival of cool summer with healthy body. From this, I boldly imagine that it should be easier to eat more mung bean cakes to detoxify and prevent SARS than Banlangen. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that medicine and food are homologous. Many famous doctors list the first prescription to prevent diseases as strengthening the body, and a reasonable diet structure is the premise of good health. Based on this, I come to the conclusion that eating some mung bean cake every day has a hundred benefits but no harm. References:

However, for thousands of years, Qu Yuan's patriotic spirit and touching poems have been deeply rooted in people's hearts, so people "cherish it and mourn it, talk about it in the world, and tell it through the ages."

Dragon Boat Festival custom: Hanging a clock to catch ghosts is the custom of Dragon Boat Festival. In the Jianghuai area, every family hangs clocks to ward off evil spirits. Emperor Kaiyuan of Tang Dynasty returned to the palace from Lishan, and malaria was rampant.

Run around the temple. GREAT GHOST is wearing a blue robe, a blue hat and bare feet. Catch the kid, gouge out his eyes and swallow one. Ming Taizu, He Wen, GREAT GHOST, and the minister, Zhong Kui, are willing to exorcise evil spirits for your majesty.

Hanging wormwood leaves and calamus: hanging wormwood leaves in the hall, cutting them into the shape of an Eric tiger or cutting the ribbon to make a tiger, and sticking them on it, so that women can compete to wear them to drive away evil spirits. Using calamus as a sword and inserting it on the couch has the magical effect of exorcising ghosts. On Duanyang Festival, every household uses calamus, mugwort leaves, pomegranate flowers, garlic and dragon boat flowers to make human figures, which are called Ai people. Eating calamus can live forever, and it can live forever. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to be a master and once ate calamus for two years. Dragon Boat Race: At that time, Chu people were reluctant to part with the death of Saint Qu Yuan, so many people rowed boats to save them. This is the origin of dragon boat race, and then rowed dragon boats every May 5 to commemorate it. Rowing a dragon boat to disperse the fish in the river so as not to eat Qu Yuan's body. The habit of competition prevailed in wuyue and Chu.

Recently, the British have followed our example and organized ghost teams to hold competitions. According to Wen Yiduo, a famous patriotic scholar in modern times, the Dragon Boat Festival was originally a totem festival held by Wuyue people, and the dragon boat race was a semi-religious ceremony. Semi-entertaining programs. " Four or five thousand years ago, people living in water tribes in primitive totem society were threatened by snakes, insects, diseases and floods. In order to resist these natural disasters, they worship the imaginary powerful dragon as their ancestor and protector (totem), and build the boat into the shape of a dragon and draw a dragon pattern, and hold a competition every year on the Dragon Boat Festival. In order to show respect for the dragon, he also said that he is a descendant of the dragon, a descendant of the dragon. Eating zongzi: On May 5th, people in Jingchu cooked glutinous rice or steamed zongzi cakes and threw them into the river as sacrifices to Qu Yuan, so they threw the glutinous rice in bamboo tubes for fear of being eaten by fish. Later, they gradually replaced the bamboo tube with rice wrapped in zongzi leaves. Drink realgar wine: Realgar is a mineral containing arsenic trioxide, which is mixed with wine for drinking. That is to say, the realgar wine with repellent and detoxification is applied to the child's head and forehead. Ears, nose, hands, feet and heart. Sprinkle the wall and ask, attack the law with poison. The story of "Legend of the White Snake" circulated among the people is to cure the snake's poison with realgar wine, and now the true colors of the white snake are revealed. This kind of learning is very popular among people in the Yangtze River valley. Wandering all diseases: it is a popular custom of Dragon Boat Festival in Guizhou.
