Dragon Boat Festival Taboos

From the almanac above, we can see that it does not say that the Dragon Boat Festival in 2017 is not suitable for marriage. However, there are records in Feng Shui that the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is Yang Gong's unlucky day, and it is not suitable for marriage. Therefore, from this perspective, it is not allowed to get married on the Dragon Boat Festival. Moreover, there is one taboo in the traditional Dragon Boat Festival that says that the Dragon Boat Festival is poisonous and harmful to the body, and sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. Because the ancients believed that May was the nine poisonous months, and the Dragon Boat Festival was the first day of the nine poisonous months, when poisonous gas attacked the body and evil energy was strong. It was also said to be the day when heaven and earth came into harmony, and it was extremely unsuitable for sexual intercourse between men and women. Therefore, ancient teachings strictly prohibited sexual intercourse. In order to prevent some people from being greedy for sexual desire and unable to control themselves, and thus breaking taboos, the ancients designated this day as "Guining Day". Guining Day means that married women return to their parents' home to visit their relatives.
