According to the county records of the Qing Dynasty, wearing mugwort leaves, tying children's hands and feet with colorful strings, eating corn and drinking realgar and calamus wine during the Dragon Boat Festival are all paid to women who have been waiting for many years, which is called chasing festivals. People wear mugwort leaves on their heads during the Dragon Boat Festival, just like the custom of wearing willow branches in Tomb-Sweeping Day. They tied some plant leaves to their heads and tied them to their children's arms and feet with colorful silk threads.

Eat corn on food. The main raw materials of corn millet are local millet and red dates. The practice is basically the same as zongzi, which is also wrapped in reed leaves. But its shape is not a triangle, it is like an angle. It is millet zongzi or yellow rice zongzi. But in ancient times, it was not called zongzi, but called corn millet.

The significance of making corn millet;

It turns out that the wheat will be cut during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the married woman who has cut the new wheat will take some to her parents' house. Because the wheat yield was very low at that time, an acre of land was only seventy or eighty kilograms. Wheat flour is also a very rare thing, so the married daughter cares about her family very much, so she will send some new wheat flour to her family to taste, and at this time, her family will take out seasonal food and take it back to her relatives' daughters.

This seasonal thing can be wheat apricot or corn millet. It can be said that corn millet is not necessarily made in some places on the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate Qu Yuan, but to return to my daughter's home.
