Can the Dragon Boat Festival be said to be happy? Can Dragon Boat Festival bless happiness?

Many people will send greetings to relatives and friends on the Dragon Boat Festival, but as we all know, the Dragon Boat Festival is a festival to commemorate Quyuan's throwing himself into the river. So, can the Dragon Boat Festival be said to be happy? Can Dragon Boat Festival bless happiness?

Can Dragon Boat Festival be called Happy?

During the afternoon holiday, there was a rumor circulating on the Internet: "Remind everyone that the Dragon Boat Festival can't wish each other happiness, but at most wish each other' Dragon Boat Festival health', because the Dragon Boat Festival is a festival of sacrifice. On this day, Wu Zixu threw himself into Qiantang River, Cao E saved his father, and the great writer Qu Yuan threw himself into Miluo River. The fifth day of May is a solemn and stirring day, a day of sacrifice. Professor Yang Guangyu, a non-legacy expert, said that not all festivals can wish each other happiness, such as Tomb-Sweeping Day and Dragon Boat Festival. Can only send each other' Ankang'. Near the Dragon Boat Festival, the reminder was forwarded by many netizens. "

This statement has been widely circulated in the past two days, but there are actually many mistakes. In fact, the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival has nothing to do with anyone's investment in Jiangdu. Dragon Boat Festival can celebrate happiness, and festivals that really come from sacrifice can also celebrate happiness.

Dragon Boat Festival is a festival. It is right to say "happy"

Professor Song Junhua of Sun Yat-sen University Intangible Heritage Research Center introduced that the origin of Dragon Boat Festival is a festival, and the weather turns from cold to hot. During this period, people are prone to get sick because of the weather, so the Dragon Boat Festival was originally born because people used many activities to drive away evil spirits and avoid getting sick. Legends such as commemorating Qu Yuan were later combined with this tradition, so tracing back to the source, the Dragon Boat Festival is a festival for people to pray for a happy life, and it is not wrong to say "happiness" during the Dragon Boat Festival.

It is critical to say that you are healthy and unhappy.

Rao Shengyuan, a folk expert in Guangfu, believes that it is right to say well-being and happiness on the Dragon Boat Festival. What kind of greetings are said in festivals mainly depends on the needs of this festival. There is no need to make a one-size-fits-all approach. Don't say happiness, just say well-being, it's too picky. Dragon Boat Festival is different from Tomb-Sweeping Day. Few people regard Tomb-Sweeping Day as a holiday, but more as a holiday. People in Tomb-Sweeping Day don't say happy holidays. But the Dragon Boat Festival has been a festival in Guangfu culture since ancient times. For many years, many things used in the Dragon Boat Festival, including paper, are red.

He also introduced that in Guangfu culture, the saying that the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates Qu Yuan is not deeply rooted. There are not many ingredients in Guangzhou to commemorate Qu Yuan. In Guangdong, the Dragon Boat Festival targets dragons in the water. Everyone is happy to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. They will race and eat dragon boat meals.

Evolve into a happy holiday habit, I wish you happiness.

Professor Hu Sui, a professor at the College of Literature of Hunan University and a doctoral supervisor, also said in an interview with the media that the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival, which has been handed down now, is more from commemorating Qu Yuan, so it makes sense that the Dragon Boat Festival does not wish each other happiness and well-being. However, this festive atmosphere has evolved into a more enjoyable festival in dragon boat racing, where most people are used to wishing happiness by eating delicious zongzi and gathering with relatives and friends.

Now it has been given the meaning of relaxation.

Wang Jingbo of Sun Yat-sen University Intangible Heritage Research Center further explained that the Dragon Boat Festival was originally given the meaning of summer solstice. Later, before the split of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the legend of Qu Yuan began to spread in Chu, and the significance of commemorating Qu Yuan was also given to the Dragon Boat Festival. Up to now, the Dragon Boat Festival has been given a modern festival to relax. Wang Jingbo believes that it is understandable to say "Happy Holidays" during the Dragon Boat Festival. Both ancient festivals and modern festivals have the function of regulating and serving people's lives.
