The Dragon Boat Festival is also called Double Five, and many customs are also related to the number "Five". Wearing red, yellow, blue, white and black on children's necks, wrists or ankles is called longevity. Each family should insert "five heads" of calamus, wormwood, pomegranate flowers, garlic and dragon boat flowers. South China will eat "Huang Wu" yellow croaker, cucumber, salted duck egg yolk, yellow bean paste buns and realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival. No matter in the north or the south, on this day, children should draw a "king" on their foreheads with realgar and wear colorful sachets.
On the morning of Dragon Boat Festival, people get up early and go to the grass to collect dew. It is said that washing your face with dew can make your skin white. At noon, the family got together and ate zongzi in the sun in the yard.
