Why can’t we say Happy Festival during the Dragon Boat Festival?

2015-06-20View Original

Thread Content

I called my sister today to wish her a happy Dragon Boat Festival. She said that it’s not appropriate to say \"Happy Festival\" on this day; instead, one should say \"Wish you good health during the festival.\" Since she was busy, I didn’t have time to ask why before hanging up. Does anyone know why?

Because your sister is at work and not happy: lol

Since it is a traditional festival to commemorate Qu Yuan, your sister might think it’s not festive: lol

For the first time this year, someone brought up this issue – in newspapers and on WeChat; wish you good health!

Sister Qingfeng is encouraging her relatives to jump into the river! So, from now on, instead of saying \"Happy holidays,\" just say that today is XX Festival, and wish for good health and a happy family. . . . blah blah blah.

Haha, Sister Qingfeng, can I wish you a smooth journey on that gray plane?

I know this; one should say ‘safe travels’, not ‘smooth sailing’

Then create a post! Taboo words for festivals, right?

Sister Qingfeng, I’ll give you another rating~ You can post it in the home version first and then specify that spamming is not allowed. I think it should be a good topic.

Then let’s do as you say – support the development of the region, and you need to give me red flowers

Fortunately I came in to take a look; you didn’t even reply to me about which floor it is, so how am I supposed to know what you said?
