The customs of the Dragon Boat Festival (Duanwu Festival) are as follows in English:

1. Dragon Boat Racing: The most famous custom of the Dragon Boat Festival is the dragon boat races. Teams of rowers compete in long boats, which are shaped like dragons, while drums are beaten to increase their speed and rhythm.
2. Eating Zongzi: Zongzi, a traditional Chinese sticky rice dumpling, is another important custom. It is typically stuffed with ingredients like red bean, lotus seed, or meat, and wrapped in bamboo leaves.
3. Hanging the Five-Color String: People often hang five-color strings, also known as "Wufu", around their doors or on their wrists. These strings are believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck.
4. Drinking realgar wine: It is believed that drinking realgar wine (a wine made with realgar, an ore containing arsenic) can prevent diseases and protect against evil spirits.
5. Carrying an incense sachet: Incense sachets are worn to protect against illness and bad luck. They are filled with herbs, flowers, and other natural substances believed to have protective properties.
6. Dragon-boat-shaped pastries: In some regions, people make and eat pastries shaped like dragon boats to celebrate the festival.
7. Listening to the stories of Qu Yuan: The Dragon Boat Festival commemorates the ancient poet Qu Yuan, who drowned himself in the river to protest the corruption of the government. His story is told and recited during the festival.
8. Lighting incense and offering: Families may light incense and offer food, tea, and other items to the spirits of their ancestors.
These customs are deeply rooted in Chinese culture and are practiced across the country during the Dragon Boat Festival.
