Korea's "Dragon Boat Festival" is the same as the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, and is also known as the "Dragon Boat Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and May Festival", and is traditionally known as the "Day of the Lord". "Dragon Boat Festival" from the literal interpretation of the "first noon", is the first May "Horse Day". May is a yang number (also known as an odd number), the first five days of the month is the meeting of the two yang numbers, and they have the same custom of emphasizing the meeting of odd-numbered days as we do, so it is designated as a major festival. When this festival first emerged, whether imported from China, there is no written information to prove, but it is known that as early as the Silla era, there is a "Dragon Boat Festival". The festival was celebrated by the entire nation, from the royal family to the common people.
