On The Dragon Boat Festival,Children Normally Wear Scented Sachets to Ward off Evil

Tags: Sachets

On the Dragon Boat Festival, children normally wear scented sachets to ward off evil. A scented sachet is an ornament worn on the front of the dress. The sweet-smelling sachet contains cinnabar, realgar and aromatic herbs etc. It is usually wrapped in a silk cloth, sometimes embroidered with exquisite patterns. And multicolor silk threads are attached to the sachet as tassels, making the sachet more appealing. In some areas of China, a scented sachet is also used as a love token between young lovers.
