Dragon Boat Festival, the fifth day of May, is an ancient traditional festival in China. According to statistics, the name of Dragon Boat Festival is the most popular among all traditional festivals in China, reaching more than 20. The commonly used name from the Tang Dynasty to the Han Dynasty was "May 5th". After the Tang Dynasty, the Dragon Boat Festival replaced other nicknames such as "May 5th" and became the mainstream name.

Dragon Boat Festival was originally a festival in which ancient ancestors offered sacrifices to their ancestors in the form of dragon boat races. It is said that Qu Yuan, a poet of Chu State in the Warring States Period, threw himself into the Miluo River during the Dragon Boat Festival. Later, people also took the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan. In some places, there are also sayings in memory of Wu Zixu, Cao E and meson tui.

Generally speaking, the Dragon Boat Festival originated from the dragon totem sacrifice of wuyue tribes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and it was infused with the seasonal fashion of "getting rid of diseases and preventing epidemics" in summer. The Dragon Boat Festival started in the north as "a bad month and a bad day", accompanied by commemorative contents to commemorate Qu Yuan and other historical figures, and finally formed the cultural connotation of the Dragon Boat Festival today.
