The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is a traditional festival in China, also known as Duanyang Festival and May Festival. Before the Spring and Autumn Period, the Dragon Boat Festival was a festival with the theme of disease elimination and epidemic prevention. Later, because the patriotic poet Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River on this day, it gradually became a festival for future generations to pay homage to Qu Yuan and patriots' noble feelings. In some areas of our country, there are some sayings about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, such as tribal totem sacrifice, in memory of Wu Zixu and Cao E, etc.
On the occasion of the Dragon Boat Festival, people in China have colorful customs such as eating zongzi, racing dragon boats, wearing sachets, hanging calamus, wormwood, mugwort leaves, smoking atractylodes rhizome, angelica dahurica and drinking realgar wine. Since 2008, the Dragon Boat Festival has been listed as a national statutory holiday.
