When do you take the colored rope and what do you want to untie?

Tie it before the sun comes out, or it won't work. You can only wait until it rains after the Dragon Boat Festival, and it will be washed away by the rain at the drain of your courtyard wall.

The custom of tying colored ropes on the Dragon Boat Festival originated in the Han Dynasty and has never stopped. People regard colorful ropes as "colorful dragons", and the Dragon Boat Festival is also called "Children's Day". May was called "Poisonous Moon" by the ancients, and colorful ropes were tied on the Dragon Boat Festival, which meant to protect children from evil spirits. Five-colored ropes washed away by water will become dragons, taking away bad things from people. In this way, troubles and worries will flow away with the rain, bringing people good luck for a year.

On the morning of Dragon Boat Festival, the first important thing for adults after getting up is to tie the Dragon Boat Festival line around the wrists, ankles and necks of sleeping children. The child can't talk when the thread is tied. There are also some married men who are forced to wear colored ropes by their wives. Many men are worried about others watching jokes and quietly tie them to their ankles.
