The Dragon Boat Festival in 2024 is coming, which makes people feel very much looking forward to it. This year's Dragon Boat Festival and weekends are closed, and there is no need to take a holiday, which is good news for those who don't like to take a holiday. And this year's Dragon Boat Festival is somewhat unusual, it will come earlier than the summer solstice.
As the saying goes, "the early Dragon Boat Festival is cool, and the late Dragon Boat Festival is hot and the cow dies", if you follow this proverb, this summer may be relatively cool. Of course, the real answer still needs to wait for the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival.
However, it is worth noting that since the Dragon Boat Festival arrives before the summer solstice, it has also attracted the attention of many people. According to the old people, there are three types of people who need to avoid the Dragon Boat Festival, so who exactly is it, and how should they dodge?
The first category of people, children under the age of three. It is often said that from May to noon, it means that in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants begin to move frequently, especially by rivers or in the grass.
Children under the age of three are active and like to run around, but they lack a sense of self-protection, and are easily bitten by mosquitoes, which can cause rashes at mild levels and allergic reactions in severe cases.
In order to avoid this from happening, it is recommended to keep children under the age of three to take shelter at home when the Dragon Boat Festival comes. In addition, due to the hot weather, children can also avoid the risk of heat stroke indoors.
The second category of people is pregnant women. The weather around the Dragon Boat Festival can be very changeable, and sudden rain or sunny days can cause problems for pregnant women. Pregnant women are inconvenient to move, whether it is facing the hot weather or sudden showers, they cannot quickly dodge.
Therefore, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, it is best for pregnant women to stay at home honestly and avoid unnecessary trouble. At home, they can read books and surf the Internet, reducing a lot of risks.
The third group of people, the elderly. Because the physical fitness of the elderly is not as good as before, the resistance is relatively weak, so they are more susceptible to the influence of the external environment. Especially after the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is getting hotter.
If the elderly do not take precautions against heat stroke while outdoors, they may suffer from heat stroke. Unless there are special circumstances, the elderly should pay attention to avoid the Dragon Boat Festival, minimize the time spent outdoors, rest well at home, protect their bodies, and go out for activities when the weather is bad.
Avoiding the Dragon Boat Festival may be a folk opinion, but there is some truth in it. Only by adapting to the changes of the seasons can the body be kept in good condition. Therefore, during the Dragon Boat Festival in 2024, we should take appropriate measures to protect our health according to our own situation.
