Today is the traditional Korean festival gangneung danoje festival. Yin Huiduo, a professor at East Asia University in Korea, told reporters that they would worship the mountain gods, wash their hair with calamus water, eat wheel cakes, swing and wear traditional Korean costumes, but they would not row dragon boats or eat zongzi.

Gangneung danoje festival originated from the worship of mountain gods in Silla era. It was originally a celebration for farmers in the village to pray for a bumper harvest, with a history of 1000 years. Professor Yin believes that although Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival in South Korea is influenced by China Dragon Boat Festival, it has been very different from China Dragon Boat Festival after years of development and changes. The atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival in rural areas is relatively strong. On the fifth day of May, the whole family will wear traditional Korean costumes and get together for dinner and chat. Traditional food has round cakes, similar to our pancakes, which are fried with millet and millet starch, coriander and onion, but do not eat zongzi; Game activities include swinging. In addition, there are some folk opera performances, such as masked dancing of officials and slaves and folk singing. Swings are more common, but dragon boats don't row.

In order to protect traditional culture, the Korean government has successfully declared gangneung danoje festival as a world intangible cultural heritage.
