As one of the four traditional festivals in China, it not only clearly records the colorful social life and cultural content of our ancestors, but also accumulates profound historical and cultural connotations.

Historical origin:

The original meaning of "Duan" in "Dragon Boat Festival" is "Zheng" and "Wu" is "Zhong". "Dragon Boat Festival" and "Chiang Kai-shek" are also right, and noon on this day is right in the middle. On a midsummer afternoon, the flying dragon is in the sky. At this time, Longxing is in the middle of the south, which is the most "correct" position for Sunday operation all year round. It is both "right" and "right" and a symbol of good luck.

The ancients always advocated the middle way and the right way, and the "middle way" was vividly displayed here. In addition, the end also means "early", so the first noon in May is also called Dragon Boat Festival.

The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanyang Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Zhengyang Festival and Tianzhong Festival, originated from the worship of astronomical phenomena in ancient times and evolved from the Dragon Boat Festival. On the midsummer Dragon Boat Festival, black dragon rises to the south of the sky for seven nights, which is an auspicious day for dragons to fly. Just as the fifth poem in The Book of Changes, Gangua, says, "The flying dragon is in the sky". At noon, Long Xing is both "victory" and "right", which is a symbol of good luck.

Its origin covers ancient astrological culture, humanistic philosophy and other aspects, and contains profound and rich cultural connotations; In the process of inheritance and development, a variety of folk customs are integrated, and the content of festival customs is rich. Picking dragon boats and eating zongzi are two major customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, which have been passed down in China since ancient times and have never stopped.
