Therefore, the best time to worship the Dragon Boat Festival is from 11 am to 13 pm.

This year, the 5th day of the fifth lunar month will fall on Friday, June 3. This is the day of Dinh Hoi, the month of the Year of the Horse, the year of the Tiger, the Earth par, the Tieu Man, and the direct breaking.

The 5th day of the 5th lunar month in 2022 is the black day, which is in conflict with the ages of Ky Ti, Quy Ti, Quy Mui, and Qui Ox.

Before carrying out the worship, the owner needs to take a shower, wear discreet and polite clothes to show respect to the mandarins. Absolutely do not wear shorts, tank tops or short skirts.
