According to New Discourses on Guangdong (Guangdong Xinyu), from the first day to the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, glutinous rice is wrapped with plant leaves to resemble the wrapping of yin and yang. People bathe with orchid-infused water and drink calamus and realgar wine to ward off misfortune.
