Qu Zhi Cong Su
Qu Zhi Cong Su means to be accommodating and follow the world. To be precise, it is not a Dragon Boat Festival idiom, but it is indeed inextricably related to the Dragon Boat Festival. First of all, it comes from "Nine Chapters of the Songs of Chu: Thinking of Beauty": "Want to rebel and follow the customs, feel ashamed of the beginning of the Yi and surrender your ambitions". The author of "Nine Chapters" is Qu Yuan, one of the protagonists of the Dragon Boat Festival memorial ceremony. Secondly, there is a riddle about eating rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival, which is an idiom. The answer is that Qu Zhi followed the custom, because literally speaking, Qu Yuan committed to throwing himself into the river, and eating rice dumplings to commemorate him became a custom, which is really consistent.
Hanging one’s head over the country’s gate
Hanging one’s head over the country’s gate is an allusion. The protagonist of the allusion is Wu Zixu, another Chu native who was commemorated during the Dragon Boat Festival. Wu Zixu was originally a minister of the Chu State. His father and brother were killed by King Ping of Chu. He fled to the State of Wu alone and vowed revenge. He did it. He and the military sage Sun Wu led the Wu army to attack the capital of Ying, and killed the dead King Ping of Chu with three hundred whips to avenge him. Later, he assisted King Wu Fu Chai to spy on King Gou Jian of Yue's plan to weaken Wu, and gave advice many times. Fu Chai listened to the slander and suspected Wu Zixu of treason, so he forced him to commit suicide. When Wu Zixu was about to die, he said to the people around him: "Hold my eyes above the east gate to watch the Yue invaders destroy Wu." When Fu Chai heard this, he was furious and ordered people to put Zixu's body in leather and throw it into the river on May 5th. Later, the State of Wu was indeed destroyed by the State of Yue.
Wonderful words
The Dragon Boat Festival has many origins, one of which is related to the filial daughter Cao E of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cao E's father drowned in the river. She cried for seventeen days and threw herself into the river on Dragon Boat Festival. Five days later, she took out his father's body. From then on, the town where she lived was renamed Cao'e Town, and the river where her father died was named Cao'e River. In the first year of Yuanjia of the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 151), Shangyu of Kuaiji ordered Du Shang to erect a stele for Cao E and ordered his disciple Handan Chun to write the inscription. The calligrapher Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty went to visit the stele. It was late at night. Cai Yong touched the inscription and read it. He read the following text: "Young woman on yellow silk, grandson Junjiu". In the shadow of the stele, there are four characters: "Excellent words". Cao Cao and Yang Xiu once guessed this riddle, and both "Shishuoxinyu" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" recorded this story.
Fighting fire with fire
There is an evil day theory about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival. In ancient times, since the pre-Qin Dynasty, it was generally believed that the fifth month was a poisonous month, and the fifth day was an evil day. According to legend, evil was in power on this day, and the five poisons appeared simultaneously. So what did the ancients do? They adopted the strategy of fighting poison with poison, and held activities such as eliminating plagues, exorcising evil spirits, and praying for good luck on the Dragon Boat Festival. This formed today's distinctive Dragon Boat Festival culture. In order to avoid taboos, the ancients even changed the Dragon Boat Festival to the Dragon Boat Festival.
