Second, the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival
Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanyang Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Mid-Day Festival, originated from the worship of natural phenomena in ancient times and evolved from Dragon Boat Festival. On the midsummer Dragon Boat Festival, the black dragon rises to the south of the sky for seven nights, which is in the middle of the year, such as the fifth thought in the Book of Changes: the flying dragon is in the sky. Dragon Boat Festival is an auspicious day for Long Zaitian to fly in the air. Dragon and dragon boat culture has been running through the inheritance history of Dragon Boat Festival. Dragon Boat Festival is a folk festival that integrates offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, praying for evil spirits, celebrating entertainment and eating.
Dragon Boat Festival, originally founded by ancient ancestors, is a festival to worship the ancestors of dragons and pray for evil spirits. It is said that Qu Yuan, a Chu poet in the Warring States Period, committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River on May 5th, and later generations also took the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan. There are also sayings in memory of Wu Zixu, Cao E and meson push. The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival covers the ancient astrological culture, humanistic philosophy and other aspects, and contains profound and rich cultural connotations. In the process of inheritance and development, a variety of folk customs blend with each other, and the content or details of customs are different due to different regional cultures.
Dragon Boat Festival originated from the worship of astronomical phenomena and evolved from the ancient dragon totem sacrifice. The customs and habits of the Dragon Boat Festival are related to primitive beliefs, sacrificial culture, the calendar of cadres and branches, and the astronomical phenomena of the Black Dragon staying in the south for seven nights. The ancient astrology culture in China has a long history and is profound. The ancients began to explore the mysteries of the universe very early, and thus deduced a complete and profound star-watching culture. According to the preface to the spring and autumn life calendar, heaven and earth are open, and everything is turbid; According to yin and yang, celestial bodies begin in the field of the North Pole, and the sun, moon and five latitudes turn; The emperor made an image of how to set the sky and the land, and made a dry branch to set the sun and the moon. In ancient times, people set up celestial phenomena and instruments of law and soil. According to the orbit and position of the sun, moon and stars, the area near the ecliptic and equator is divided into 28 groups of stars, commonly known as 28 nights, and divided into seven nights in four directions of southeast and northwest, that is, four elephants; In the east, the horn, horn, room, heart, tail and dustpan form a complete dragon-shaped astrology, that is, the seven nights in Black Dragon. The cycle of the Black Dragon's seven nights is consistent with the four seasons of the year. Spring rises in the east, summer rises in the south, autumn retreats in the west, and winter disappears under the northern horizon. On the midsummer Dragon Boat Festival, the black dragon hangs in the middle of the south sky for seven nights, which symbolizes the prosperity of all things and is an auspicious astronomical phenomenon.
Ancient festivals are carriers of inheriting ancient culture, and the origin of ancient festivals is closely related to ancient culture. In midsummer afternoon, the black dragon rises to the south of the sky for seven nights. I ching called it the flying dragon in the sky, the position of Long Xing in the daytime. This is a sign of good luck. Dragon is the primitive belief of ancient ancestors, and the Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer is an auspicious day for dragons in the sky. Ancestors will hold some festive activities on the Dragon Boat Festival, especially activities corresponding to dragons, such as dragon totem sacrifice and dragon boat fishing, or take this auspicious day to do some activities such as praying for blessings and eliminating evil spirits. Although the situation of ancient sacrificial ceremonies is unknown, we can still find some ancient custom relics from later festivals. Dragon Boat Festival culture fully embodies the Chinese nation's natural view of harmony between man and nature. Dragon Boat Festival is a cultural treasure left by our ancestors. It not only clearly recorded the rich and colorful social life and cultural contents of our ancestors, but also accumulated profound historical and cultural connotations.
