Three taboos of Dragon Boat Festival

The three taboos of Dragon Boat Festival are as follows:

1, no banquets and celebrations.

Dragon Boat Festival is called "evil day", which is not suitable for banquets and celebrations. Wedding, business opening, celebrations and other activities are not suitable for this day, and many rural elderly people also pay attention to not moving or decorating their houses.

2. Avoid going to dark and damp places.

Dragon Boat Festival is the day when "Five Poisons" become active. Scolopes, scorpions, snakes, toads and geckos like to live in dark and humid places. It is unlucky to meet them in this place, especially when they are bitten.

3. Avoid exposure at noon.

According to the traditional custom, children at home during the Dragon Boat Festival should "hide in the afternoon", that is, hide from the noon sun to prevent their delicate skin from being exposed to the sun.
