1. Before the sun comes up on the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, adults get up and tie Dragon Boat Festival threads around the wrists, ankles, and necks of sleeping children. In some places, colorful ropes can be put on the night before.

2. Children cannot speak when the colorful rope is tied, and children cannot tear off or discard the colorful rope at will after wearing it.

3. It was not until July 7th, the birthday of "Seven Mothers", that they were untied and burned. In some places, when it rains for the first time after the Dragon Boat Festival, people pick them off and throw them into the river to let them wash away with the rain.

4. It is said that children wearing colorful ropes can avoid harm from poisonous insects such as snakes and scorpions, and throwing them into the river means that the river water will wash away plagues and diseases, so that the children can be safe and healthy.

5. Of course, in addition to the traditional ropes made of five-color silk, with silver locks, wrapped around children's arms. In the old days, every household hung five-color silk ropes on the lintel during the Dragon Boat Festival.
