Why do you wear colored ropes on your hands or feet during the Dragon Boat Festival?

The Dragon Boat Festival puts colorful ropes on children's hands and feet to ward off evil spirits and bless longevity.

The five colors of the multicolored rope represent the five elements of Jin Mu: fire, water, earth, east, west, north and south. Gold wood fire, water and soil are mutually generated: gold raw water, aquatic wood, wood fire, fire raw soil and primary gold; Jin kemu, mu, tuke water, water, huo. Blue is wood, representing the East, red is fire, representing the South, yellow is earth, representing the Central Committee, white is gold, representing the West, and black is water, representing the North. The five elements of colored rope can drive away all furtiveness and avoid all plagues. In this way, colorful ropes can protect children's health and longevity.

Colorful rope, colorful, with festive factors, expresses the blessing to children!
