Dragon Boat Festival

Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in China and one of the four traditional festivals in China. It is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, usually around the middle of June in the solar calendar.

The Dragon Boat Festival originated from ancient historical legends in China, and is related to Qu Yuan. According to legend, Qu Yuan was a great poet and patriot in China during the Warring States Period. He was defeated in the struggle against corrupt officials and finally threw himself into the river. In order to commemorate him, the people of China expressed their nostalgia and remembrance, so they designated the fifth day of the fifth lunar month as the Dragon Boat Festival.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, China people have many special activities and traditional customs. One of the most famous is eating zongzi and racing dragon boats. Zongzi is made by wrapping glutinous rice in bamboo leaves, filling various fillings, such as meat, bean paste, salted egg yolk, etc., and then cooking. The custom of eating zongzi symbolizes disaster relief, blessing and avoiding evil spirits. Dragon boat race is a traditional competitive activity. People row dragon boats and race in rivers, lakes and seas to commemorate the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan and hope to ward off evil spirits.

The Dragon Boat Festival is also listed as the intangible cultural heritage of China, and its profound cultural connotation and traditional value have been widely inherited and developed in China society.
