What does a necklace featuring snakes, scorpions, centipedes, toads and geckos have to do with good luck? In Chinese tradition, these creatures are known as the "Five Poisons." As the weather turns hot around the Dragon Boat Festival, ancient Chinese people believed poisonous creatures became more active, making the holiday a time to ward off illness and misfortune. Inspired by this tradition, the People's Fine Arts Publishing House has launched five necklaces that reimagine ancient folk motifs into stylish accessories.

The National Library of China has also launched a Dragon Boat Festival-themed collection featuring scented sachets, mugwort massage hammers, bamboo-shaped wrist rests and traditional gua sha healing scrapers. Drawing on the festival's long association with seasonal health practices, these products bring traditional wellness customs into modern life. Together, these creative collections offer fresh ways to experience the wisdom, symbolism and lifestyle of the Dragon Boat Festival.
