Can dog teeth and peach stones be tied together?

These two things can be linked together.

On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, people tie flowers and necks for their children with five-color lines, praying for exorcism, physical fitness, health and longevity. It is also called "hanging" to tie flowers and hands and necks. The raw material is generally five-color wool bought in the market. Most of them are tied by men and women, and some are tied by ankles. Some are tied to their hands and feet for beauty and decorated with peach stones and dog teeth.

According to Wang Zongkuan, a folk expert of Shuangdui, summer is hot and dry, and people are prone to get sick and plague. In addition, snakes and insects are easy to breed and bite people, so we should be very careful, which forms the custom of pricking flowers and necks. In the traditional culture of China, the five colors symbolizing the five elements are blue, red, white, black and yellow, which represent wood, gold, fire, water and earth respectively, and contain the divine power of the five elements.
