May was called "poison month" by the ancients. Colored ropes tied on the Dragon Boat Festival can help children ward off evil spirits. The colored rope washed away by the water will become a dragon, taking away the evil spirits. In this way, it can also help to eliminate their troubles and worries, which will bring them good luck this year.
Dragon Boat Festival is made of colorful silk threads and hung around children's necks to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters. It is called "long life rope". Also known as "line of subsistence", "line of avoiding soldiers", "five-colored silk" and "line of long life".
In ancient times, May was regarded as an evil month. Because of the hot weather, diseases were easy to spread. Since the Han dynasty, that is, around the fifth day of this month, colored silk thread has been tied to the arm, which means that it can protect peace and health, and also means that it can avoid the disaster of swords and soldiers, so it is called this. Wearing colored thread on Dragon Boat Festival is very particular. Multicolored lines are made up of lines of five colors.
