The origin of the customs
Tong Yun sings: "The first cake, the first two cakes, the third three snails, the first four dishes, and the fifth-day dragon boat......" Every year in the fifth lunar month of the lunar calendar, it is a traditional folk festival in China. It is called the Dragon Boat Festival and is commonly known as the “Five Dayâ€. . From the beginning of the first day, every household is preparing gifts for the holidays. These healthy and beneficial virtues and good customs are still widespread in the public. This article alone talks about the Dragon Boat Festival.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, some farm families have the custom of hanging calamus. What's the matter with this?
Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a poor wife named Qing Ying. She is not only eloquent, but also poetry. One year, when the weather was very dry, there was not a drop of rain for months. The fields were deserted and the vegetation was dead. On the fourth day of May 4th, when Qingying watched her husband yet to return home, it was Dragon Boat Festival and her own birthday. However, the family was impoverished. How can we make these two festivals more lively? She was uneasy at home and she walked out of the house. Suddenly, when she saw the herb planted by her husband near the house, the calamus was green and green under the scorching sun. The youngster thought that why not dig a few calamus to celebrate the festival? She picked it up, digged a few calamus, washed it with clean water, and hung it on the gate. She felt that this was the case. The court seemed to be full of vitality and festivity. Then she touched the scene and took out the four treasures of the room, wrote a poem with red paper, and stuck it near the gate. The poem is written like this:
Married to her husband, he was too desperate.
Mok called Miss Liang to go and talk to wash the calamus in clear water.
In the evening, the scholar (husband) turned home and saw the poem written by his wife beside the door. She was ashamed and embarrassed and felt that she had no chance to see her wife again and hurried back. I do not know to go a few hundred steps, looked up and saw an old cattle graze on the ridge, there is no shadow around. He thought, why not take the cattle to sell and get some money back home to please his wife. The scholar did not matter whether he was on 31st or 27th. He led the cow and went ahead. However, only halfway down the road, the owner of the cattle caught up and seized him and sent him to see the county.
Jixian asked Xiucai: “Why are you stealing cows in the blue sky?†The scholar was helpless. He took his wife how to be virtuous and how poor his family was. Jixian heard that if a woman who does not believe in a country would also write poetry, she would immediately send a wife to the wife of Xiucai. When Qingying went to the court, the county government asked her: “Is your poem written by your door?†Qingying said swiftly and replied: “On the adults, the poetry is made by the daughters of the people. What is the unknown violation?†After touching his beard and thinking for a moment, he said to Qingying: “You make poetry and you have no offence. Only because your husband stole cows and was caught by the county, how do you judge it?†Qingying heard. With tears flowing, he immediately said: "Don’t know what to do if you know what you are doing.
Jixian nodded and said to her: “Women are justified! This county sees you as a weak woman and her husband is in jail. How will you live in the future? Since you will be making poetry, this county has ordered you to make another one. As a result, this county will reward you with silver fifty-two and give you home to spend the day."
When Qingying heard it, he nodded. After taking the ink and paper, thinking a bit, I wrote four sentences on the spot:
As the yellow water flows eastward, it is difficult to wash it with shame.
Since the smile of the non-woven woman, Langjun what effect is the cow?
Jixian looked and laughed and said, "You aren't a weaver, but this county judges that your husband is in jail. Didn't your husband and wife become cowherds and weavers?" said Shixian, he called out fifty-two silver and called them two. People come home quickly.
Qingying was so poor because of the poverty of the family road, and hanging the calamus on the Dragon Boat Festival. After the spread of the matter, there are more and more people who hang the calamus on the gate of the Dragon Boat Festival every year. After widespread dissemination, it gradually formed a folk custom.
