The most common customs of the Dragon Boat Festival include "dragon boat racing" and "eating rice dumplings", while children "wear sachets" and "play with standing eggs".



About The Dragon Boat Festival



Time and importance:



The Dragon Boat Festival is held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year.

It is a summer festival to bid farewell to the five plague gods and drive away plagues.



Along with the New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival and other festivals, it is an important traditional festival in the cultural circle of Chinese characters. It is one of the four major Chinese festivals and the first Chinese festival to be selected as a world intangible cultural heritage.





Origin:



According to widespread legend, Qu Yuan, the patriotic poet of Chu State, committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River on this day. Later, in memory of Qu Yuan, some people called it Poet's Day.





Seven customs of the Dragon Boat Festival:



① Dragon boat racing:

After Qu Yuan was thrown into the Miluo River, residents built boats to salvage Qu Yuan's body in the river, and this evolved into a dragon boat race.



② Eating Zongzi:

According to legend, after Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, local residents wrapped glutinous rice in bamboo leaves and threw it into the river in order to prevent the fish and shrimp in the river from eating Qu Yuan’s body. This has become a modern habit of eating Zongzi.



③ Standing eggs:

The yang energy is the strongest on the Dragon Boat Festival. If you can stand the eggs up at noon, it means that you will have good luck and fortune in the coming year.



④ Hanging mugwort:

In the past, in order to drive away poison and avoid evil, people would hang mugwort and calamus at their door. According to legend, mugwort and calamus are both sacred objects that can drive away evil and avoid evil.



⑤ Sachet:

Sachet was a lucky thing in the past, and wearing a sachet was to protect oneself from evil things.



⑥ Drink realgar wine:

It is said that realgar wine can resist epidemics. Because realgar wine is rich in minerals, its blend in rice wine can also be regarded as a medicine. Although children are not suitable for drinking, they can use realgar wine to draw the word "王" on their foreheads. It also has the function of exorcising evil spirits and avoiding evil.



⑦ Draw water at noon:

According to legend, the water drawn at noon on the Dragon Boat Festival every year has the strongest yang energy, which can attract good luck, avoid evil and prolong life. The Yang Qi of the Dragon Boat Festival is the strongest at noon. If you collect well water at noon and seal it for storage, it can be used to relieve the heat in summer. It can also be used to reduce fever and cool down when you are suffering from heat. There is another saying: Zheng Chenggong After coming to Taiwan, he looked for a source of water. When he couldn't find it, he stuck his sword into the ground, only to find that well water and springs were flowing out continuously. It was also the noon time of the Dragon Boat Festival, so it evolved into the custom of collecting water at noon time.

毎年5月5日は端午の節句 ゴールデンウィーク

# data[].attributes.body
毎年5月5日は端午の節句 ゴールデンウィーク最終日でもあるこどもの日です。端午の節句は菖蒲の節句とも呼ばれその起源は古代中国の陰陽道に由来します。端午とは。はじめの馬という意味で1年を干支で数える中国の暦で5月を指します。古代中国では奇数が重なる日にお祓いをする習慣がありました。日本では江戸時代、華やかさ雅さを増し、貴族の間で特に流行していた桃の節句の雛遊びと対比して室町時代から厄払いの力 があるとして定着してきた菖蒲を勇壮な剣に見立て、男子のお祭りとして主に武家で盛んに祝われるようになりました。その後、滝を登りきった鯉は竜になるという所以に基づいて、男子の健やかな成長と立身出世を願う意味を込めて、こいのぼりが掲げられたり、五月人形が飾られるようになりました。こいのぼりは回転球、矢車、吹き流し、真鯉、緋鯉から構成されています てっぺんの回転球は神様に男子がいる家庭であることを示すとされ、下の矢車は矢羽の形をしており、破魔矢のように邪気を祓う意味が込められています。その下の吹き流しは陰陽五行説の5色に彩られており、それぞれ木、火、金、水、土を表します。この世を構成する5行を表すことで、魔除けを表す飾りとされています。また鯉はもともと黒のマゴイのみで長男を表すとされていました。その後明治以降に緋鯉が登場し、真鯉は父、緋鯉は子供と見立てられるようになりました。明治に入ると、五節句は一度祝日ではなくなりましたが、戦後、新たな祝日を制定する際、かつての五節句の一つであった 5月5日を、男女の区別なく子どもの人格を重んじ、子どもの幸福を図るとともに母に感謝をする日としてこどもの日に制定されました。ひな祭りの桃の節句と同じく 端午の節句もまた厄払いの節句から現在の子供たちの健やかな成長を願うとともに親に感謝をする日へと時代に合わせて変化を遂げた歴史がありました。

[Translation]

May 5th every year is Children’s Day, also known as Tango no Sekku in Japanese. It’s the final day of Golden Week [GW], a series of public holidays in Japan. Tango no Sekku, also known as Ayame no Sekku, has its origins in ancient China, specifically in the Yin-Yang philosophy. “Tango” [端午] means “beginning of horses” in the Chinese zodiac calendar, referring to the fifth month. In ancient China, there was a custom of purifying on days when odd numbers overlap.

In Japan, during the Edo period, Tango no Sekku emerged as a counterpart to the elegant and refined Girls’ Day festivities [Hina Matsuri]. It gained popularity among the samurai class from the Muromachi period onwards. Originally, Tango no Sekku involved prayers for purification using iris leaves, which were likened to brave swords, primarily celebrated as a festival for boys. Later, based on the belief that carp that successfully swam upstream turned into dragons, it became a day to pray for the healthy growth and success of boys. This led to the tradition of displaying koinobori (carp streamers) and decorating with May dolls [Gogatsu Ningyo]. Koinobori consist of a spinning top, arrow wheels, streamers, and carp figures [koi], symbolizing various auspicious meanings.

Koinobori: Carp-shaped wind socks used as decorations.

Gogatsu Ningyo: Dolls displayed for Children’s Day in May.

Muromachi period: A period in Japanese history from approximately 1336 to 1573.

Edo period: A period in Japanese history from 1603 to 1868.

Hina Matsuri: Doll Festival or Girls’ Day, celebrated on March 3rd in Japan.

Yin-Yang philosophy: A concept in ancient Chinese philosophy representing the dual nature of things.

Golden Week [GW]: A series of public holidays in Japan that typically falls in late April to early May.

Tango no Sekku: Boys’ Festival or Children’s Day in Japan, celebrated on May 5th.

May dolls: Dolls displayed during the Boys’ Festival in May, representing historical and legendary figures.

At the top of the koinobori, the spinning top symbolizes the presence of boys in households, while the arrow wheels below resemble arrow feathers, symbolizing purification from evil spirits. The streamers below are colored according to the Five Elements theory, representing wood, fire, metal, water, and earth. By symbolizing the five elements that compose the world, they act as talismans against evil spirits. Originally, only black carp [kuro] represented the eldest son. Later, red carp [hi] appeared during the Meiji period, with black carp representing the father and red carp representing the children.

During the Meiji period, Children’s Day, along with other traditional festivals, ceased being a public holiday. However, after World War II, when new holidays were established, May 5th, one of the traditional festival dates, was designated as Children’s Day. It aims to honor children’s personalities regardless of gender and to promote children’s happiness while expressing gratitude to mothers. Similar to the Girls’ Day festivities during Hina Matsuri, Tango no Sekku has evolved over time to become a day of expressing gratitude to parents while also wishing for the healthy growth of children.

Five Elements theory: A concept in Chinese philosophy that describes the interaction and relationship between five elements: wood, fire, metal, water, and earth.

Meiji period: A period in Japanese history from 1868 to 1912.

World War II: A global conflict that lasted from 1939 to 1945.

Kuro: Black carp.

Hi: Red carp.
