On this day, every household hangs clocks and statues, hangs mugwort leaves and calamus, races dragon boats, eats zongzi, sings realgar wine, swims all diseases, matches sachets and prepares sacrifices. Wall clock: Zhong Kui catches ghosts, which is the custom of Dragon Boat Festival. In the Jianghuai area, bells and statues are hung in every household to ward off evil spirits. Emperor Kaiyuan of Tang Dynasty returned to the palace after giving a lecture in Lishan, and malaria was rampant. He dreamed that two ghosts, one big and one small, were running around the temple wearing red crotch pants and stealing Yang Guifei's sachet and the jade emperor of the Ming Dynasty. GREAT GHOST, wearing a blue robe and a blue hat, caught the child, gouged out his eyes and swallowed it in one gulp. During the Dragon Boat Festival in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor asked questions, and GREAT GHOST said, My name is Zhong Kui, a martial artist, and I am willing to exorcise evil spirits for your majesty. When the emperor woke up, malaria was cured, so I asked the painter Wu Daozi to draw a picture of Zhong Kui catching ghosts according to what he saw in his dream, and ordered people to stick it on the Dragon Boat Festival to exorcise evil spirits. Dragon Boat Festival Gua Acorus calamus Gua Acorus calamus: During the Dragon Boat Festival, every household made Acorus calamus, Artemisia argyi, garlic and dragon boat flower into human figures, called Ai Ren.

Using calamus as a sword and inserting it on the lintel has the magical effect of exorcising ghosts and removing expensive things.

Now, Taiwan Province Province holds a dragon boat race on May 5th every year. There are boat races in Hong Kong. Recently, the British have followed China's example and organized ghost teams and held competitions. Eating zongzi: People in Jingchu boiled glutinous rice or steamed zongzi cakes and threw them into the river to offer sacrifices to Qu Yuan on May 5, so they threw glutinous rice in bamboo tubes for fear of fish eating, and gradually replaced bamboo tubes with rice wrapped in zongzi leaves. Drinking realgar wine: This custom is very popular among people in the Yangtze River valley. Wandering about all diseases: This custom prevails in the Dragon Boat Festival in Guizhou. Wearing sachets: Children wear sachets during the Dragon Boat Festival, which not only means to ward off evil spirits and drive away epidemics, but also has decorative styles on the front.

Question 3: What do you eat on Tanabata? Zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival and moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival? 10 points Dragon Boat Festival custom:
1. Dragon Boat Festival is a grand festival among Chinese people, and there are various activities to celebrate it. Common activities are as follows:
Dragon boat race:
Dragon boat race is the main custom of Dragon Boat Festival. According to legend, people who originated in the ancient state of Chu could not bear to part with the sage Qu Yuan and threw themselves into the river, so many people rowed to catch up and save each other. They rushed to catch up with each other and disappeared at Dongting Lake. After that, I will row a dragon boat on May 5th every year to commemorate it. Rowing a dragon boat to disperse the fish in the river so as not to eat Qu Yuan's body. The habit of competition prevailed in wuyue and Chu.
In fact, dragon boat races existed as early as the Warring States period. Carving dragon-shaped canoes in drums and playing race games are semi-religious and semi-entertaining programs to entertain gods and people in the ceremony.
Later, people everywhere not only commemorated Qu Yuan, but also gave different meanings to dragon boat racing.
Dragon boat rowing in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is of great significance to commemorate Qiu Jin, a native-born modern female democratic revolutionary. The night dragon boat is decorated with lights and shuttles, and the scene is moving and interesting. Miao people in Guizhou hold the Dragon Boat Festival from May 25th to 28th in the lunar calendar to celebrate the success of transplanting rice seedlings and wish a bumper harvest. Yunnan Dai compatriots competed in dragon boat races at the Water-splashing Festival to commemorate the ancient hero Yan Hongwo. Different nationalities and regions have different legends about dragon boat rowing. To this day, dragon boat races with different characteristics are held every year in many areas near rivers and lakes in the south.
In the 29th year of Qing Qianlong (1736), Taiwan Province Province began to hold dragon boat races. At that time, Jiang, the chief executive of Taiwan Province Province, held a friendly match in Fukeji Half Moon Pool in Tainan City. Now, Taiwan Province Province holds a dragon boat race on May 5th every year. In Hong Kong, races are also held.
In addition, dragon boat racing was first introduced to neighboring countries such as Japan, Vietnam and Britain. From 65438 to 0980, the dragon boat race was included in China's national sports events, and the Quyuan Cup dragon boat race was held every year. 1991June 16 (the fifth day of the fifth lunar month), the first international dragon boat festival was held in Yueyang, China, Qu Yuan's second hometown. The dragon head festival was held before the game, which not only retained the traditional ceremony but also injected new modern factors. The dragon head was carried into Quzi Temple. After the athletes painted the dragon head red (wearing red ribbons), the priest read the memorial and lit the dragon head (that is, lit it). Then, all the people who took part in the Dragon Boat Festival bowed three times, carried the dragon head to the Guluo River and hurried to the dragon boat race. More than 600,000 people participated in competitions, expositions and evening activities, which is unprecedented. Since then, Hunan has regularly held the International Dragon Boat Festival. Dragon boat races will be widely spread all over the world.
Eat zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival.
Eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival is another traditional custom of China people. Zongzi, also known as corn millet and tube zongzi. It has a long history and various patterns.
According to records, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, millet was wrapped into horns by leaves of zinia latifolia, which was called horny millet. Rice packed in bamboo tubes is sealed and baked, which is called tube dumplings. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, millet soaked in plant ash water. Because the water contains alkali, the millet is wrapped in leaves into a quadrilateral, and when cooked, it becomes Guangdong sour rice dumplings.
In Jin Dynasty, Zongzi was officially designated as Dragon Boat Festival food. At this time, in addition to glutinous rice, jiaozi also added Alpinia oxyphylla, and the boiled jiaozi was called Yizhi jiaozi. According to the local customs of Yueyang in the Zhou Dynasty, it is customary to wrap the millet with leaves, cook it and cook it thoroughly. From May 5th to summer solstice, there is a jiaozi and a Xiaomi. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, miscellaneous zongzi appeared. Rice is mixed with animal meat, chestnuts, red dates, red beans and so on. And there are more and more varieties. Zongzi is also used as a gift for communication.
In the Tang dynasty, the rice used for zongzi was as white as jade, and its shape appeared conical and rhombic. There are records of Tang Zongzi in Japanese literature. In the Song Dynasty, there were preserved zongzi, that is, fruits were put into zongzi. Su Dongpo, a poet, sometimes sees Yangmei's poems in zongzi. At this time, there were also advertisements for building pavilions and wooden chariots and horses with zongzi, indicating that eating zongzi was very fashionable in the Song Dynasty. In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the wrapping material of zongzi changed from bamboo leaves to bamboo leaves, and then zongzi wrapped with reed leaves appeared, and the additional materials appeared bean paste, pork, pine nuts, dates and Hu ... >>
Question 4: Dragon Boat Festival folklore: In addition to eating zongzi, there are zongzi, which was called Jiaosu in ancient times. Millet is yellow rice in the north and glutinous rice in the south. Horns, horns, are sacrificial vessels. Zongzi is shaped like a "horn" and can be used as the correct meaning of sacrifice. Wrapping millet with bamboo leaves is the image of yin wrapping yang. Some scholars also believe that Zongzi was originally "rice wrapped in dates", which means that rice is used to describe Yang, and dates are used to describe Yin. Rice is the main one, supplemented by dates, which means that Yin and Yang are wrapped together. According to the earliest local customs of the Zhou Dynasty, the Dragon Boat Festival not only steamed corn, but also cooked fat soft-shelled turtles, all of which praised time with their image of "inner yang and vulva". Of course, among the people, eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival comes from a legend commemorating Qu Yuan. Liang's "Harmony and Continuation of Qi" records-"On May 5, Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River, and the Chu people mourned it. At this time, rice was stored in bamboo tubes and poured with water to sacrifice it. During the Jianwu period of the Han Dynasty, a scholar named Dr. San Lv suddenly met in Changsha. It's great to say that Wen Jun should see the sacrifice. Stolen by dragons all the year round. If there is any benefit today, it should be stuffed with neem leaves and wrapped in green silk. These two things are what dragons are afraid of. Go back to his words. It is a heritage to wrap zongzi with neem leaves and shredded pork on May 5 this year. " In the past, cultural people usually made three kinds of zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival: one was alkaline zongzi, which was used to worship the gods; One is the salty zongzi that people ate that day; There is also a vegetarian zongzi with only two pairs hanging on the door. The child at home has a cold, so he will take it off and cook it for the child. Xiaohe shrimp with Xiaohe shrimp is a beautiful little fresh, which was only listed around the Dragon Boat Festival. Xiaohe shrimp, also known as green shrimp, is abundant in Taihu Lake. Raw shrimps are exquisite, the meat is blue-gray and translucent, and each one is bulging. After cooking, it is a faint orange ring on the white shrimp meat, and the bread under the shrimp shell overflows. I've loved this scallop shrimp since I was a child. At the turn of spring and summer, I can completely give up the taste of meat and eat the simplest salt water, onion, ginger and boiled shrimp for a week. You should know that you can't put too much onion and ginger. A bowl of river shrimp, two onions and a slice of ginger are enough, otherwise it will rob the shrimp of its sweetness. It is said that when I came home from school as a child, if I saw a freshly cooked shrimp on the table, I immediately put down my schoolbag, took a big bowl directly, weighed chopsticks and sat cross-legged on the sofa. Some people may ask, don't you peel such a small shrimp by hand? For a shrimp lover like me, this is really not a problem. From an early age, I practiced the kung fu of peeling shrimp shells, touching shrimp bodies with the tip of my tongue, deftly picking shrimp feet with my teeth, and peeling shrimp shells. Not only did you eat hard shrimp brain, thin shrimp meat and sweet shrimp meat, but even the small meat at the tip of the shrimp tail was completely swept away. In a short time, adults found that a big bowl of river shrimp had been eaten, and could not help but ask, where is your dinner? It doesn't matter. The shrimp soup left at the bottom of the bowl can be mixed with a small bowl of white rice, which is also delicious. Suzhou people's "Three Shrimp Noodles" Before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, both old Shanghainese and Suzhou people like to eat "Three Shrimp Noodles", which are also made of shrimp, but the technology is extremely complicated. The so-called "three shrimps" are shrimp, shrimp brain and shrimp. To make this bowl of noodles, you should pick the shrimps first, and then peel them. The remaining shrimp shells and heads are boiled in fresh soup. Then peel off the shrimp head to form a small piece of deep orange shrimp brain. At this time, the noodles are cooked in water, put into shrimp soup together with shrimp and shrimp brain, and simmer with low fire to let the rich flavor of "three shrimps" penetrate into the noodles. But to be honest, most of the three fresh shrimp noodles in the noodle restaurant will fry shrimp brains and shrimps with lard, highlighting its richness, which is a little higher than crab roe in autumn. But because of this treatment, most of them are a little tired, which makes the peeled "three shrimps" lose their real umami and sweetness. So for me, instead of holding a bowl of three fresh shrimp noodles and enjoying its golden and fiery toppings, it is better to cook river shrimps with a bowl of salt water and enjoy every whole shrimp like melon seeds. Tomb-Sweeping Day hung his sword, and the ancients called Yellow River carp, bream, Songjiang perch and Yangtze bream the four most beautiful river fish in China. "Hang a knife in Qingming Festival and taste shad in Dragon Boat Festival". The most attractive place of shad is not the fish, but the scales deeply locked by fat. The beauty of flat-body shad is that its shiny scales are covered with oil, so it won't scale when cooking, because after the scaly shad is steamed, half of the oil under the scales will automatically penetrate into the fish, and the other half will float on the scales, which is unforgettable. But shad is also the most delicate freshwater river, and it will die without water. Gong Kun in Ming Dynasty took three days from the time the fish landed to the time it was sent to Beijing. We used up fast horses and speedboats for a shad feast. This extravagant "Kungong" lasted for more than 200 years. It was not until the 22nd year of Kangxi that Emperor Kangxi made up his mind to "never pay tribute" because of Zhang Nenglin's "Please stop providing Kunshu on his behalf" and abolished this kind of "Kun in June and Snow Cold, Three ... > >
Question 5: What zongzi do you eat on Dragon Boat Festival? Zongzi, also known as "Jiaoshu" and "Zongzi", has a long history and various patterns. On Dragon Boat Festival, which family doesn't buy a few zongzi and have a reunion dinner? However, eating zongzi is also a science. Eating too much and eating bad is not good for your health, and it also affects your holiday mood. The nutrition of low-calorie zongzi, an alternative material, is mainly calories, followed by protein, fat and carbohydrate dietary fiber; As far as the nutrition required by 20-year-old adult men and women in one day is concerned, the heat of zongzi is mostly high, and the fiber is generally insufficient, so a small amount is appropriate. When wrapping zongzi, it is best to use materials that meet the requirements of "three less and one more" (less oil, less salt, less sugar and more fiber), use less seasoning, or try to replace pork belly with leg meat or Xm, replace egg yolk with chestnuts, and add carrots for color matching to improve the fiber quality of zongzi. Or you can mix glutinous rice with "whole grains" to increase the fiber of zongzi. In addition, when making jiaozi with bean paste, it is suggested to use vegetable oil instead of lard, which can reduce the heat of jiaozi. Generally speaking, the meat stuffing jiaozi contains more calories, each serving contains about 450 to 600 calories; Alkaline zongzi has a small volume, so its relative heat is relatively small. The heat before sugar dipping is about 100 to 120 calories. It is particularly important to note that jiaozi with bean paste is mostly fried with lard except for the high content of sugar or sucrose, and each serving is about 500 to 600 calories, which is one of the best in the Zongzi kingdom, so you should pay special attention to it when eating. Eating more fruits and vegetables helps digestion. As we all know, Zongzi is a sticky rice product that is not easy to digest, and many people feel full after eating it. Therefore, it is suggested that you should never eat zongzi before and after the festival, or just eat zongzi and forget the intake of other kinds of food such as vegetables and fruits, which is easy to cause constipation. If you feel upset in the stomach, have a bowl of light soup, such as melon, bamboo shoots and loofah soup. Finally, eat some fruit to increase fiber intake and balance nutrition. When eating zongzi, many people like to use ketchup, sweet and spicy sauce and other sauces to improve the taste. However, these seasonings have high sodium content, which is very unfavorable to patients with hypertension or cardiovascular disease. If you have children at home, you might as well replace greasy meat dumplings with light fish dumplings or chicken dumplings, and increase the fiber content by adding whole grain brown rice. In practice, you can cook the whole grain brown rice first, and then wrap the fish and chicken in jiaozi. The cooking time will not be too long, and the stuffing can be preserved. Healthy jiaozi with high protein is very suitable for developing children. For people with a slightly heavier taste, they can make their own curry dumplings with unique flavor, that is, the rice with stuffing is not fried in the traditional way, but cooked in curry, and other fillings are also changed into curry as the main seasoning material according to the practice of curry rice. Recommend a traditional Chinese medicine high-fiber vegetarian zongzi. The stuffing is all vegetarian, and the high-fiber rice is soaked in Chinese herbal medicines such as Astragalus membranaceus and dried tangerine peel, and then cooked in soaking water containing Chinese herbal medicines. It is not only refreshing and low in calories, but also can be used to keep fit. Patients with chronic diseases don't have to eat zongzi completely, just control their weight. Generally speaking, it is best not to eat more than two zongzi at a time. Diabetic patients have long been told to eat less sugary food, so Hunan sweet zongzi is not suitable for eating, while alkaline zongzi has less calories, but diabetic patients should be careful not to dip in sugar, and sugar can be used instead if necessary. Besides sugar, we should also be careful about the amount of staple food. For people who eat a bowl of rice, the staple food in jiaozi, Taiwan Province Province is equivalent to a bowl of rice, and the meat with ingredients is actually equivalent to the amount needed for a meal; If you eat steamed dumplings, you should balance the weight. As for patients with hypertension, you can choose steamed zongzi with less seasoning, such as Chaozhou Zongzi or Southern Zongzi, because the fillings of northern Zongzi and steamed Zongzi are pickled and seasoned, which is not suitable for patients with hypertension who need to limit sodium content; Patients with hyperlipidemia should pay special attention to the high-oil Chaozhou Zongzi mentioned above. No matter whether it is sweet or salty, peanuts and peanut powder of Southern Zongzi are also high in oil, so it is best not to eat them. Gout patients should be especially careful if they find that steamed dumplings contain high-priced ingredients such as squid, scallops and abalone, or that dumplings in Taiwan Province Province contain mushrooms, so as to avoid gout. The custom of eating zongzi all over the world is the traditional custom of China Dragon Boat Festival. However, eating zongzi abroad has different customs. Japanese people eat zongzi on holidays not with glutinous rice, but with crushed rice flour. The shape of zongzi is different from that of China, and it is usually wrapped in the shape of a hammer. Burmese people also like to eat zongzi, but it has nothing to do with the Dragon Boat Festival. They use glutinous rice as raw materials, ripe bananas and coconuts ...
