When is the Five Poisons Day? 2023

Wudu Day is the Dragon Boat Festival in ancient times, and the Dragon Boat Festival in 2023 is on June 22, 2023.

Dragon Boat Festival, also known as "Five Poisons Festival" in ancient times. Dragon Boat Festival is a poisonous day and an evil day in the minds of ancient northerners. This idea has been handed down in folk beliefs, so there are various customs of seeking peace and avoiding the five poisons. Five poisons refer to centipedes, poisonous snakes, scorpions, geckos and toads. These five animals are the five poisons widely circulated in ancient North China.

As far as the existing literature records are concerned, the northern Dragon Boat Festival custom in Han Dynasty is mainly to ward off evil spirits. In ancient times, the customs of the north and the south were different. The ancients in the north regarded the Dragon Boat Festival as a "poisonous day and an evil day" and avoided it. In fact, this is because the summer weather in the north is hot and dry, the plague is easy to spread, and snakes and insects are easy to bite people, which makes the ancient people in the north gradually form customs such as "avoiding the five poisons" and "hiding from the Dragon Boat Festival".
