Eating zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional custom of the Chinese nation since ancient times. Zongzi, a kind of _, is also called "Jiaoshu", "Zongzi _", "Guzong _" and "Tongzong". It has a long history and various patterns.

According to records, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, millet was wrapped in leaves of Zizania latifolia (Zizania latifolia) into a horn shape, which was called "horn millet". Rice packed in bamboo tubes is sealed and roasted, which is called "tube zongzi".

in the Jin dynasty, zongzi was officially designated as the food for the dragon boat festival. "Records of Yueyang Local Customs" written by Zhou Ren at that time recorded: "It is customary to wrap millet with leaves, cook it, and cook it thoroughly. From May 5 to the summer solstice, there was a rice dumpling and a millet." During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, miscellaneous zongzi appeared. Rice is mixed with animal meat, chestnut, red dates, red beans, etc., and the variety is increasing. Zongzi is also used as a gift for communication.

by the Tang dynasty, the rice used for zongzi was "white as jade" and its shape appeared as a cone and a diamond.

In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the wrapping material of zongzi has changed from wild leaves to wild leaves. Multicolored rope

Time: June 7 -9

Location: Craftsman's Shop (Bus Lane 28)

In the traditional culture of China, five colors, blue, red, white, black and yellow, which symbolize the five elements, are regarded as auspicious colors. Multicolored silk thread may have originated from the custom of tattooing in ancient southerners. Geography of Hanshu records that the Yue people "tattooed their hair to avoid the harm of jiaolong". Liu Yiqing, a Jin native, wrote books such as Shi Shuo, in which five-color silk was wrapped around zongzi to throw it into the river, which was feared by mosquitoes and dragons. Although it is a legend, it reveals a little information worth pondering. The five-color silk is tied to the arm, or it is a tattoo.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, children should tie colorful silk threads on their wrists and ankles to ward off evil spirits. The five-color line cannot be broken or discarded at will, and can only be thrown into the river during the first heavy rain in summer or the first bath. It is said that children wearing five-color lines can avoid the harm of snakes and scorpions; Throwing it into the river means letting the river wash away the plague and disease, which means that it can get rid of evil and stir up disasters.

Wear sachets, also known as sachets, sachets, purses, etc., which are made of five-color silk threads and sewn with rags. Chen Shiliang's "Guang Ji at the Age of Years" quoted "Miscellaneous Notes at the Age of Years" as saying that "Duanwu is made of red and white colors, such as a bag, and colored lines run through it, making it look like a flower."

The contents of these carry-on bags have changed several times, from sweat-absorbing mussel powder, talisman to exorcise evil spirits, copper coins and realgar powder to sachets filled with spices, and their production has become increasingly exquisite, becoming a unique folk art of the Dragon Boat Festival.

you are very particular about wearing sachets. In order to prevent diseases and keep fit, the elderly generally like to wear plum blossoms, chrysanthemums, peaches, apples, lotus flowers, dolls riding fish, dolls holding cocks, double lotus flowers and other shapes, symbolizing birds and flowers, all the best, husband and wife loving each other and family harmony.

Young people are the most particular about wearing sachets. If they are lovers in love, the affectionate girl should carefully make one or two unique sachets long ago and give them to her lover before the festival.

Drinking Pu wine, realgar and cinnabar wine, and sprinkling with wine. Jingchu Chronicle: "Acorus calamus (a perennial herb, born at the water's edge, has reddish roots underground and leaves shaped like swords and spikes.". Rootstock can be used as spice or medicine) or carved or shredded to cool wine. "

Pu wine is fragrant and refreshing. Later, realgar and cinnabar were added to the wine. Ming Feng Yingjing's "The Broad Sense of the Moon Order": "On the fifth day, use cinnabar wine to ward off evil spirits and detoxify, and use wine to dye the forehead, chest, hands and feet, so there is no danger of snakes (a poisonous snake mentioned in ancient books). Sprinkle walls and doors and windows to avoid poisonous insects. " This custom is widely spread.

The medicinal materials include realgar, Zhu Lei, Platycladus orientalis, peach kernel, cattail leaf, mugwort leaf, etc. After people soak in wine, they use Acorus gramineus blume to dip in the corners of walls, doors and windows, under the bed, etc., and then use wine to coat the ears, nose and navel of children to drive away poisonous insects and seek the safety of children.

In other areas, the word "Wang" is painted on children's foreheads with the powder of realgar wine, which makes children bear the mark of a tiger to ward off evil spirits. These activities, from the health point of view, are still scientifically justified. Realgar mixed with water and wine can be disinfected and sterilized indoors, and drinking Pu sprinkle is also quite beneficial. Tug of war

Time: June 7th afternoon (Dragon Boat Festival)

Location: Town Square

Tug of war has a long history in China. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a tug-of-war activity, but at that time it was not called tug-of-war, but called hook-strengthening or hook-pulling, which later evolved into a popular hook-pulling play in Jingchu area.

According to the Geography of Sui Shu, the scene of holding a hook in Nanjun and Xiangyang in the Chu area originated from the martial arts. Chu will attack Wu, thinking that teaching war will not change, and it will be passed down from generation to generation. When the hook was first launched, there were drums and songs, which shocked the distance. As the saying goes, it's disgusting to win, and it's fruitful to use it, and it's also spread in other counties.

The hook-pulling play here was actually a military skill to cooperate with the water war at that time.
