To protect against this, people used customs like drinking realgar wine, hanging Zhong Kui pictures, and employing "Five Poison" charms featuring snakes, scorpions, centipedes, toads, and spiders, believed to be "poisonous" creatures.People thus display objects adorned with motifs of the Five Poisons and wear clothing with patterns depicting these creatures during the Duanwu Festival to ward off evil and invite good fortune. Our pair of finely crafted cloisonné narcissus bowls should be considered as a festive display item for affluent families during this auspicious time.
