1, Dragon Boat Festival custom: In the Tang Dynasty, the afternoon ended with hanging wormwood and exorcism symbols.
Teenagers are more affectionate on holidays, but when they get older, they will feel sad.
It's useless, but just pray for wine and wine.
The temples add white heads day by day, and pomegranates bloom year by year.
Thousands of years of sages and fools are instantaneous, and several people are lost in several names.
Analysis: "Ai Fu" refers to wormwood and exorcism symbols, which are hung on the door at noon to ward off evil spirits. "Pu wine" is calamus wine, which is drunk for health preservation. The ancients had the custom of drinking calamus wine during the Dragon Boat Festival. Teenagers are naturally happy on holidays, but when they are older, they feel deeper. They don't hang wormwood to exorcise evil spirits. They just want to drink a glass of calamus wine and talk about peace in the world. White hair is increasing day by day, pomegranate flowers bloom every year, and red brocade is as dazzling as usual. We can't help but sigh, for thousands of years, sages and fools have all returned to the loess, how many people have disappeared, and how many people can go down in history?

When encouraged, the thunder is weak and the snow is smaller than the animal's head.
The rushing waves highlight people's attention, and the jumping waves compete for the birds to fly back.
Kong Lung didn't believe me, so he won the championship.
Analysis: "Saidu" is the predecessor of the current dragon boat race. In order to measure the success or failure of the race, the Tang people created the "champion" race system, that is, when the dragon boat reaches the finish line, the winner is judged by grabbing the buoy, and the winner is the champion of the race. The drums were loud, and the ships rushed in together, scrambling for each other, scaring the waterfowl to fly around just to win the championship.

Colorful green zongzi, fragrant white jade balls.
The dead are gone, and the hardships are sweet, but today is joy.
Well, if you are loyal to celebrities, you will find it difficult to die.
Analysis: "bath orchid" refers to the custom of "bath orchid soup" in ancient Dragon Boat Festival, in which herbs are used to make soup and take a bath. Because zongzi is wrapped with silk thread, it is called "colorful Bijun Zongzi". The early zongzi was made of millet, also called "corn millet". In the Tang Dynasty, glutinous rice was used instead of millet to make zongzi, which turned white and tasted sweet, so it was described as "fragrant white jade ball".
4. Dragon Boat Festival customs: drinking realgar wine, Jielingmen, Duanyangqing and Lijingshan.
Cherry mulberry and calamus, and buy a pot of realgar wine.
There is yellow paper hanging outside the door, but I suspect that the account owner is afraid of spells.
Analysis: Mosquitoes increase in summer, and snakes, scorpions and other "five poisons" breed. It is said that snakes are afraid of realgar wine (which can be seen in folklore such as Legend of the White Snake). Therefore, drinking or spraying realgar wine at noon is also one of the customs to pray for staying away from poisonous insects. It can be seen in the Song Dynasty's "Records of Jiatai Meeting": "At noon, Li Pu, research realgar wine and drink it." However, because it contains arsenic sulfide, realgar wine will be decomposed into arsenic trioxide, the so-called arsenic, which is harmful to human body. Therefore, realgar wine is generally not drunk after the Dragon Boat Festival.
5. Dragon Boat Festival custom: Is it colored rope, Konakayama and Dragon Boat Festival? Yuan
Abby Tipa is busy everywhere. Whose son is a girl, Qing Duanyang. Fine winding five-color arm length. Empty melancholy, who will hang Yuanxiang again? Don't talk about the past. A thousand years of loyalty, the sun shines. Reading Li Sao always hurts. No one can solve it, and the tree turns cold in the afternoon.
Analysis: the "five colors" in the poem "Five colors wrapped in essence" refers to the "colored rope" of the Dragon Boat Festival. Multicolored rope, also known as multicolored wisp and longevity wisp, has five colors: green, white, red, black and yellow, representing five elements and five parties, which comes from the concept of five elements in China traditional culture. People usually weave colored ropes of five colors and tie them around their arms or necks to protect their health and prolong their life.
Traditional festivals are full of spiritual and cultural pursuits of China people. A little custom, full of all aspects of life, is internalized in our blood and will be passed down from generation to generation through these traditional festivals.
