After the Dragon Boat Festival, the day of five poisons and nine poisons has officially arrived. The five poisons month and nine poisons day were discovered by the ancients through internal observation. The May season of the lunar calendar is the time when heaven and earth intersect, yin and Yang compete, and death and life are divided. It is called the poisons month. Nine of them are the days that hurt the body, damage Qi and consume essence. It is called the nine poisons day by the ancients. There are many traditional customs and taboos on the day of five poisons and nine poisons among the people. The small edition of this article brings you a specific introduction.
The "five poisons month" is not only in May of the lunar calendar, but also because may is the time when scorpions, poisonous snakes, centipedes, toads, geckos (spiders) and other popular "five poisons" (hereinafter referred to as "five poisons") come and go. Therefore, there is a folk song saying: "it's hot on the Dragon Boat Festival, & lsquo; Five poisons & rsquo; Wake up, restless. "
According to the folk custom, the five poisons begin to grow at noon on the Dragon Boat Festival every year. Before noon on this day, sprinkle lime, spray realgar wine and burn medicinal smoke in corners and dark places to eliminate five poisons and expel foul gas. At the same time, sweep the dust and garbage outdoors to clean the room.
The Dragon Boat Festival is intended to remind people to prevent the harm of the five poisons. Generally, five poisons are pasted in the house, five poisons are painted on red paper, and then five needles are put on the five poisons, that is, the poisons are stabbed to death and can no longer run wild.

Another folk custom is to let women go back to their mother's house for a month in May.
