What are the legends about the Dragon Boat Festival?There were many stories and legends about the Dragon Boat Festival, the most widely spread of which was to commemorate Qu Yuan. According to legend, Qu Yuan was a minister of the State of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period. He advocated appointing talents to enrich the country and strengthen the army. He strongly advocated uniting with Qi to resist Qin, but he was opposed by nobles such as Zi Lan. In the end, he was driven out of the capital and exiled to the Yuan and Xiang rivers. In exile, Qu Yuan wrote many immortal poems about his country and people. In 278 B.C., the Qin army broke through the capital of the State of Chu. Qu Yuan saw that his motherland was being invaded and felt as if his heart was cut by a knife. He threw himself into the river on May 5. Legend has it that after Qu Yuan's death, the people of Chu rushed to the Miluo River to pay their respects to him and rowed boats to save his body. In order to prevent Qu Yuan's body from being eaten by fish and prawns, people threw rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves and realgar wine. These activities gradually developed into dragon boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the traditional customs of eating zongzi and drinking realgar wine. In addition to Qu Yuan, there were also some other legends, such as Wu Zixu and Cao E.
League of Legends 'Spirit Festival Tokens Are SwallowedPlayers who did not buy a pass might find it difficult to determine the number of tokens for the Spirit Blossom Festival. For example, one character would cost 30 tokens, and nine characters would cost 270 tokens in total, but the official announcement was 300 tokens. This was because the tenth person had yet to appear, not because the tokens had been taken. In addition, the reward for intimacy level B and A was 15 tokens. The total tokens for the nine characters were 270, which was 30 less than 300. The so-called " ununlocked " icon was not a character, but a spiritual tree. When the intimacy level reached S level, the spiritual tree could be unlocked to obtain spiritual flowers. Giving the spiritual flowers to the character could obtain the final reward exclusive to the character emoji.

Is Xiayuan Festival the Ghost Festival?The Xiayuan Festival was not the Ghost Festival. The Ghost Festival (the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar) was the Ghost Festival, a day to worship ancestors. The Xiayuan Festival (the fifteenth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar) was a day to worship ancestors and pray for the Water Official Emperor to solve the disaster. Its origin was related to Taoism. Legend had it that the Water Official Emperor inspected the good and evil of the world and reported to the Heavenly Court according to his investigation to solve the disaster and get rid of the predicament for the people. On this day, Taoist temples were used as training grounds, and the people offered sacrifices to the dead. At the same time, there were some taboos such as splashing water and not blaming others.

If there was no statue, a memorial tablet could be set up with the name of the Celestial Lord written on it and placed in the middle of the back. If there was no statue or memorial tablet, the incense burner should be placed in the middle of the front row of the tributes (closest to the moon worshippers). Incense was essential. According to the rules of the temple, there were three sticks of incense. One could use the left hand to burn the incense. The order was middle, right, and left. The three sticks of incense had to be inserted straight and flat, with a gap of no more than an inch.

Reveal the Witchcraft of XiangxiXiangxi witchcraft contains many mysterious phenomena. The following are the secrets for you:
- [Venomous Insect]: Legend has it that only women have venomous insects. They put a variety of poisonous insects in the same object and let them eat each other. The only surviving insect is the insect. Gu could have a form, but some people thought that they were mysterious objects that could change and come and go without a trace. The creator could use spells to remotely control Gu worms to bring illness or even death to the target. They could also control others, but most of the witchcraft techniques were only legends. From a modern scientific point of view, there was no evidence that the Gu worms were not afraid of guns or could control others after they were nurtured. The so-called symptoms of Gu worms could be caused by poisoning or infection by bacteria, viruses, and parasites on poisonous insects. Although ancient medical books such as the Compendium of Materia Medica had symptoms and treatment prescriptions, and many dynasties in history had listed the release of gu as a serious crime, no one in modern times had ever seen the real legendary gu technique.
- [Corpse Hunting Technique: Xiangxi corpse hunting originated from the concept that people who died in a foreign land had to be buried in their hometown.] Due to the mountainous terrain in Xiangxi, it was difficult to transport corpses, so the corpse industry was born. Corpse herders usually wore Taoist robes and led the way in front of the corpses instead of behind them. They would beat the gong to make the Night Walkers avoid them. The corpses were often connected with straw ropes, one every six or seven feet. Corpse Transporters had requirements for disciples, such as courage, good physical fitness, ugly appearance, and so on. They had to learn how to deal with the remains, such as sticking a charm on the forehead of the remains, wearing a bamboo hat to reduce insect bites and decomposition, and using cinnabar and other anti-corrosion methods. There was a rule of " three chases and three no chases " for corpse herding, but it was now considered superstitious behavior, and no one could accurately point out the true situation of corpse herding in Xiangxi.
- [Chicken-fixing Spell: A spell in the Witchcraft culture. Through a mysterious ritual and incantation, a lively rooster can be stunned on the spot. Even if it is provoked or heard the sound of firecrackers, it will not be moved until the caster puts away the rooster.]
- [Luohua Cave Girl]: A young girl in a Miao village in Xiangxi lost her mind in the water and eventually died of depression.
