What is the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival in Hangzhou? Urgent! ! !
Speaking of the Dragon Boat Festival in Hangzhou, the story of white snake drinking realgar wine prepared by Xu Xian during the Dragon Boat Festival is familiar. Realgar wine is one of the "Huang Wu" that Laohang people must eat during the Dragon Boat Festival.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Dragon Boat Festival is the day with the highest yang in a year, so it becomes the best opportunity for people to exorcise evil spirits and prevent diseases.
At noon on the day of Dragon Boat Festival, that is, when the sun is at its peak in a day, people in Laohang will have a "Huang Wu" meal. This "Huang Wu" is yellow croaker, cucumber, eel, salted duck eggs and realgar wine. Old Hangzhou people hope to use the power of the Dragon Boat Festival to make themselves lucky again and again.
Old people at home will also dip their fingers in realgar wine on this day and write the word "Wang" on their foreheads to prevent disinfection and disease.
During the dry and hot Dragon Boat Festival, Xixi Wetland and Feilai Peak are all good places for summer vacation. It is also a good way to seek inner peace by walking around the West Lake and watching the lights of Leifeng Tower flashing in the distance in the evening when the breeze is blowing gently.
