In fact, this statement goes beyond the Dragon Boat Festival: the Mid-Autumn Festival is the Moon Cake Festival, the Lantern Festival is the Tangyuan Festival, and the winter solstice is the jiaozi Festival. . . Investigating the reason, we can easily draw a conclusion that the carrier of traditional festivals is not only prominent, but also simplified.
Chen, vice chairman of the Chinese Folklore Society, said that the Dragon Boat Festival contains the spiritual context of our ancestors' understanding, harmony and adjustment of heaven, earth, man and body and mind. It is an important spiritual force of national modernization in the multicultural era.
Wu Bingan, honorary president of the Chinese Folklore Society, believes that applying for the Dragon Boat Festival is only a means. We should return the ancient and traditional Dragon Boat Festival to the people and let them enjoy dignity and happiness. Festivals should not be used as a means for businessmen to make profits, and ordinary people should not be allowed to buy tickets and spend money on festivals.
Gao Youpeng, an expert in folklore and a professor at Henan University, suggested that people should keep the traditional customs of the Dragon Boat Festival and increase the content of commemorating farmers, and even consider calling the Dragon Boat Festival "Farmers' Day". He said that the Dragon Boat Festival also included the commemoration of Shennong at the earliest, such as using wormwood, realgar wine, wearing sachets, taking toad as medicine and getting close to nature, all of which were related to Shennong. Moreover, it is also the time for farmers to harvest wheat around the Dragon Boat Festival.
