This poem is about the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. 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.
Dragon Boat Festival is one of the four major festivals throughout the year. May is the poison month, the fifth day is the poison day, and the noon on the fifth day is the poison time, ranking at the bottom of the three poisons. The Dragon Boat Festival is also called "the end of May". May is the beginning of the whole hot day. Five poisonous snakes are active and ghosts are rampant, which will bring disaster to people, especially to children who have no scruples and no resistance. Therefore, people call the Dragon Boat Festival in May "Children's Day" or "Baby's Day".
Celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional habit of China people for more than 2,000 years.
Daughter goes back to her parents' home, hangs a statue of Zhong Kui, greets the ghost boat, hides in the afternoon, sticks leaves in the afternoon, hangs calamus and wormwood, travels in all diseases, wears sachets, prepares sacrificial bowls, races dragon boats, plays ball games, swings, draws realgar for children, drinks realgar wine and calamus wine, and eats poisonous cakes, salted eggs, zongzi and seasonal fresh fruits.
People came up with the idea of wrapping rice with neem leaves and wrapping it with colored silk to make it develop into brown seeds. After that, on the fifth day of May every year, there is the custom of dragon boat racing, eating zongzi and drinking realgar wine. In memory of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan.
