Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month. Here are some of the traditional customs associated with the Dragon Boat Festival:

1. Dragon Boat Races: The most well-known custom of the Dragon Boat Festival is the dragon boat races. Teams of rowers compete in long boats shaped like a dragon, racing on rivers and lakes. This custom commemorates the poet Qu Yuan, who is said to have drowned himself in a river to protest corruption, and the people racing the boats were trying to save him.
2. Eating Zongzi: Zongzi, or sticky rice dumplings, are another major custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. These dumplings are made of glutinous rice and stuffed with various fillings such as red bean, lotus seed, or meat. They are typically wrapped in bamboo leaves and cooked in water or bamboo leaves.
3. Hanging Calendula Leaves: It is believed that hanging calendula leaves can protect against evil spirits and diseases. The leaves are often placed above doors or hung in the home.
4. Wearing a Periwinkle: The periwinkle flower, also known as the may flower, is associated with the Dragon Boat Festival. It is believed that wearing the flower can bring good luck and protect against evil.
5. Drinking Realgar Wine: Realgar wine, made from realgar (a kind of ore), is believed to have healing properties. Drinking this wine is thought to ward off illness and protect against evil spirits.
6. Carrying an Incense Breeze: Incense sticks or leaves are burned to create a pleasant fragrance. It is believed that the aroma can drive away evil and bring good fortune.
7. Painting the Fingernails: It is a custom for children to paint their fingernails with hawthorn juice to protect them from evil spirits.
These customs have been passed down through generations and are celebrated by people of all ages during the Dragon Boat Festival.
