? In order to make this problem clear, I will explain it from several aspects. Please read on-
First, the origin of the problem? The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is a famous traditional festival in Chinese history-Dragon Boat Festival, and its custom has been passed down to this day.
? Since 2008, Dragon Boat Festival has been a national legal holiday. Whenever this day comes, people celebrate the festival in a happy atmosphere. Besides eating zongzi, everyone has to go out and row dragon boats. When they met, they all said "Happy Dragon Boat Festival".
? However, shortly after the national statutory holiday was confirmed, when people were still immersed in the atmosphere of celebrating the holiday, a so-called "non-legacy expert" called "I don't know the origin" suddenly appeared, claiming that I couldn't say "Happy Dragon Boat Festival" on the grounds that this festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan who drowned himself on this day, so today's festival can't be "happy".
? This strange argument is extremely fresh, and it spreads wildly with the emerging media that "likes the new and hates the old". People who don't know how to eat melons accepted this "emerging theory" and changed "Happy Dragon Boat Festival" to "Happy Dragon Boat Festival" with the indifferent mentality of "believing in it but not believing in it".
? Looking back today, not many people believe in the strange theory that "Dragon Boat Festival can't be happy", but it is only a reflection of conformity mentality, a reflection of unnecessary mentality, and an extreme reflection of a face-saving mentality. I am afraid that saying "Happy Dragon Boat Festival" will make people laugh at his illiteracy.
? So, after that, how many years have passed, people are still worried about "Happy Dragon Boat Festival" for fear that it will touch any taboos. The current situation is that some people say "Happy Dragon Boat Festival" and some people say "Dragon Boat Festival Health", but no matter which one they say, they are very confused: can they say "Happy Dragon Boat Festival" after all?
? I published an article about "Baijiahao" during the Dragon Boat Festival last year, clearly indicating that I can say "Happy Dragon Boat Festival".
2. Dragon Boat Festival was born before Qu Yuan? The so-called non-legacy experts say that one reason why we can't wish each other happiness is that "Dragon Boat Festival originated in memory of Qu Yuan". In fact, there are many opinions about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, except that it originated in memory of Qu Yuan, Wu Zixu and Cao E ... These opinions have their regional and limitations, and no conclusion has been drawn.
? Experts confirmed through research that the Dragon Boat Festival existed before Quyuan threw himself into the river, and it was not to commemorate Quyuan. Wen Yiduo, a famous writer and scholar, made an in-depth study on this as early as the beginning of the last century, and put forward the view that Duanyang Festival is a dragon festival, indicating that this festival is "as old as China people". Now it seems that it is not sufficient to associate historical figures with festivals, which is the result of future generations' association.
? Since the foundation supporting "we can't wish each other happiness on the Dragon Boat Festival" no longer exists, that is to say, the Dragon Boat Festival was not born to commemorate someone, so what psychological obstacles do we have not to say "Happy Dragon Boat Festival"? Of course, there is nothing wrong with saying "Dragon Boat Festival is good for health".
Third, the saying that "the Dragon Boat Festival cannot wish each other happiness" has been refuted? When this strange theory came out, many experts and scholars refuted it. I'll cite a few examples to illustrate it. In particular, the following quotations have their sources for verification.
? Zhang Yiwu, a cultural scholar and professor, said: "Optimism and happiness are also the proper meanings of this festival. Don't be too rigid. " He also believes: "In fact, the Dragon Boat Festival is different from Qingming. Although it is to commemorate Qu Yuan, it also means to wish good luck and make everyone happy. " He quoted the ballad "On May 5th, it was Duanyang, full of incense; Eating zongzi and sprinkling sugar, the dragon boat will be very happy in the water. (Quoted from Weibo's article "Dragon Boat Festival Complex")
? The People's Daily also voiced its voice and published a column in People's Review, clearly saying, "Dragon Boat Festival, what's the harm of saying' happy'?" The Dragon Boat Festival, with a history of more than 2,000 years, has rich cultural connotations. It is solemn and lively, so there is no need to be so entangled. More importantly, today's people celebrate traditional festivals and add new ideas of many times. It is so one-sided and true that it violates the purport of ancestors and filters the flavor of many cultures. ""Dragon Boat Festival, you can eat zongzi to ward off evil spirits, and you can also dress up your beautiful little daughter; Qingming, you can worship your ancestors or fly kites; On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon can be worshipped, played and chewed … ","Why not have fun on such a festive holiday? Why not say' happy'? " (This article can be found in the voice database of People's Daily. )
? Another scholar listed three reasons at once to explain the Dragon Boat Festival: First, a very important function of the festival is entertainment, and entertainment must be happy; Secondly, in the traditional cultural customs of China, all weddings and funerals should choose an auspicious day, which is a way for farmers to entertain themselves. In this case, they should not suppress happiness; Third, our traditional festivals have become a conventional carnival, which cannot be changed by the will of individual experts. (Quoted from Huang's Collection of Poems, published by Southwest Jiaotong University Press on 20 17)
