The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese festival, usually celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. This festival is listed as a national public holiday in China and is also included in the United Nations Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
The Dragon Boat Festival has a long history and rich cultural connotations. It originated from the dragon boat racing and dandelion customs in ancient China. The main activities of the festival include dragon boat racing, making rice dumplings, hanging mugwort, wearing sachets, dragon boat racing, etc. Among them, making rice dumplings is one of the most distinctive activities of the Dragon Boat Festival. People wrap glutinous rice, meat, bean paste and other fillings in rice dumpling leaves, tie them with ropes, steam them and enjoy them. The making methods and tastes of rice dumplings vary from region to region.
There is another important legend about the Dragon Boat Festival, and that is the story of Qu Yuan. According to legend, Qu Yuan was a great patriotic poet in ancient China. He was exiled to the Miluo River because he was worried about his country and his people. After he committed suicide by drowning in the river, people rowed dragon boats in the river to find his body in order to prevent fish and shrimps from eating Qu Yuan's body. They also put rice in the river to satisfy their hunger. At the same time, they also hung mugwort on the door to ward off evil spirits and avoid plague. These traditional customs gradually evolved into important activities of the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival is not only a traditional Chinese festival, but also a cultural inheritance and expression. On this day, people will reunite with their families, relatives and friends, taste delicious food, carry out various celebration activities, and experience the traditional Chinese culture and the feeling of reunion. In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival is also celebrated by Chinese communities in many countries and regions and has become one of the important symbols of Chinese culture.
