"Bitter vegetables show, the grass is dead, Mai Qiuzhi",

Xiaomanshi looked at the way of spring, foreseeing the long summer,

As if walking in the small bridge and flowing water of Jiangnan style，

And then what came in abruptly was

The coolness of lotus rhyme, the sweetness of broad beans, the fragrance of rice dumplings.

Chinese culture has a long history, broad and profound,

Those wishful, memorable, warning memorial activities,

All enriched the cultural connotation of this traditional festival.

The Dragon Boat Festival customs are rich in content, lively and festive

Eat rice dumplings, compete in dragon boats, hang calamus wormwood, tie five-color silk,

Drink realgar wine, eat five yellows, wear sachets, pick herbs, etc.

       Wormwood can avoid all kinds of evil spirits, and calamus is the "slashing demon sword" left by the ancient ancestors. To prevent diseases, mosquitoes, and evil spirits, every household will plant wormwood and calamus at the door before the Dragon Boat Festival.

       The night before the Dragon Boat Festival, every household started wrapping rice dumplings with bamboo leaves. Zongzi is mostly wrapped in glutinous rice with pork, bacon, red beans, egg yolks, etc., wrapped in a triangle shape and cooked in a pot. When cooking zongzi, put eggs and duck eggs, so that the cooked eggs will have a delicate fragrance.

       After lunch on the Dragon Boat Festival, parents also bring sachets to their children. The sachet is made of wormwood, realgar, and cotton. It can be cut into two square pieces with various floral cloth heads, folded diagonally, stitched together with colored threads, and then made beards with silk threads of various colors underneath. Hanging on the neck, it is both fragrant and beautiful.      

It is said that this sachet is also anti-evil and anti-poisonous. Such sachets have to be hung until the day when the Magpie Bridge meets on the seventh day of the lunar calendar. They can be cut off and then thrown on the roof. The magpie will send these sachets to the sky to bridge the Cowherd and Weaver Girl so that they can meet in the faint fragrance.
