The Chinese tradition of celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival was formed thousands of years ago. A series of traditional customs were formed through the scientific experience summarization by predecessors based on the climate and other aspects of the Dragon Boat Festival. The most important thing to pay attention to in terms of diet and health is that we are well-known to eat five yellow huang during the Dragon Boat Festival. So what are these five yellow huang?

The first yellow: realgar wine. The first time I heard that realgar wine can drive away evil spirits and detoxify, it was in the legend of Xu Xian’s White Snake. I just thought that the white snake that showed its true form was too careless, so I believed it for a long time.

I later learned that the main component of realgar is arsenic sulfide, which is the main raw material for refining arsenic. Realgar has a certain degree of toxicity and can naturally repel poisonous insects, but humans can also be poisoned. As a result, the tradition of drinking realgar wine no longer continued, but the tradition of smearing realgar wine on children and wearing sachets did remain.

Second Yellow: There is a saying among the people that eel in Xiaoshu is better than ginseng. It means that eel in this season is the fattest, with tender and delicious meat and rich nutrition.

Dragon Boat Festival is before Xiaoshu. Although it is not the most delicious time for eel, eel meat contains many nutrients, including protein, fat, phosphorus, calcium, iron, etc. You can eat eel appropriately. Supplementing vitamins can also remove rheumatism.

Third Yellow Croaker: During the Dragon Boat Festival, large yellow croaker will come by the tide and become the main seasonal dish of this season. At this time, the large yellow croaker is fat and the meat is the most delicious.

The braised fish is the most delicious. The fish skin is fragrant and slightly crispy, and the fish meat is tender, smooth and sweet, leaving a unique taste in your heart. Large yellow croaker is high in protein, trace elements and vitamins. The trace element selenium can delay aging and prevent and treat cancer.

The fourth yellow: Cucumber is known as the "first fruit" among the people. The seasons change. Among many fruits, cucumbers are on the market earlier than other fruits. You can eat the new ones in mid-May, which coincides with the Dragon Boat Festival, so they naturally become a must-eat during the Dragon Boat Festival. In addition, cucumber also has the function of clearing away heat and detoxifying.

Fifth yolk: Salted egg yolk Salted egg yolk is not as seasonal as eel, yellow croaker and cucumber. Because it has the word "yellow", it also joins the ranks of the "five yellows". Eating salted egg yolk during the Dragon Boat Festival symbolizes health and safety.
