The ancients originally set up the Dragon Boat Festival not to pay homage to Qu Yuan, but because of the custom of expelling poison and evil spirits.
Dragon Boat Festival is also called Duanyang, and "Five" stands for "Yang". The solar terms of the Dragon Boat Festival are a demarcation point. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, it was Yang. Before this, the sun's spirit between heaven and earth rose all the way, reaching its peak at the Dragon Boat Festival. The pole changes, and the anode produces yin. After the Dragon Boat Festival, Yin came into being, and then Yin and Yang began to alternate.
The highest yang is at noon on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month (11:00-1:00).
Rootless water is rain that falls from the sky without touching the ground, that is, it does not fall to the ground.

What's the use? Can be used as medicine, Chinese medicine decoction can be added to water to strengthen yang, and its medicinal properties will be strengthened several times.

If it rains cats and dogs at noon, take out all the pots and pans at home to catch the rain. If it is slightly drizzling, brave people can even stand in the rain and let the rain drive away the sick and come to a clean SPA.
Some people say that taking mineral water to bask in the sun during the Dragon Boat Festival is as effective as rootless water? No, it's no use.
If it doesn't rain where you are at noon that day, but there are springs around you, natural springs gushing from underground springs, at noon on the Dragon Boat Festival, although not as good as rootless water in the morning, can also enhance the medicinal properties.
If you can't get spring water, you can get well water.
