In China, that day was the day to purge noxious vapor and to pray for people's health, and there were customs where people went out to fields and picked herbs, decorated dolls made of mugwort and drank wine made of sweet grass. |
中国においては邪気を払い健康を祈願する日とされ、野に出て薬草を摘んだり、ヨモギで作った人形を飾ったり、ショウブ(しょうぶ)酒を飲んだりする風習があった。 |
