On June 8, 2024, at 2:59 AM, the Dragon Boat Festival is ranked among China's top three festivals and traditions like eating zongzi, racing dragon boats, and standing eggs are popular, but there's a commonly overlooked tradition that can change your luck for the whole year! 'Noon Time Water', believed to bring luck, ward off negative energies and illnesses, prevent negative influences, attract wealth and noble people, ensure safety and health, and cleanse homes, can be used by washing one's face for 7 consecutive days, wiping a mirror on the left side of the desk, drinking five cups of water between 11 am to 1 pm, and bathing with 'Noon Time Water' to eliminate negative energies and maintain health. To ward off bad luck from homes, believers suggest sprinkling 'Noon Time Water' around the house using green leaves like mugwort and calamus, and this can be achieved on June 10 between 11 am to 1 pm by using natural spring or well water or even tap water, ensuring to boil before use for hygiene. Disposal of the used water should symbolize prosperity or growth by pouring it in the kitchen sink or potted plants, avoiding dirty places like drains or toilets. Embrace these traditional customs during the holiday for cultural continuity!
