When is the Dragon Boat Festival? Why are wormwood and red chopsticks hanging on the door?
Dragon Boat Festival is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year. Red chopsticks may be a local custom, or it may have evolved from the ancient custom of tying mugwort, banyan and calamus into a bundle with red paper, and then inserting it or hanging it on the door. However, hanging wormwood and red chopsticks are used to ward off evil spirits.

Other common Dragon Boat Festival customs:

1. Hanging Ai Hu is also called hanging wormwood. In the past, it was used as an ornament to exorcise evil spirits. In ancient China, the tiger was regarded as a god beast, and it was thought that it could ward off evil spirits and keep peace.

2. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the custom of daubing children's foreheads with realgar can drive away poisonous insects. The typical method is to draw the word "Wang" on the child's forehead with realgar. One is to drive away poison, and the other is to suppress evil by tigers.

3. Row a dragon boat.

4. eat zongzi.
