The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It has a rich history and various customs that have been passed down through generations.

One of the most famous customs is the dragon boat race. Teams of rowers compete in long boats, decorated with dragon heads and tails, racing down a river. This event symbolizes the legend of Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet who drowned himself in the river to protest corruption. The dragon boat race is believed to be a way to honor his memory and prevent fish from eating his body.
Another important custom is eating zongzi, a sticky rice dumpling wrapped in bamboo leaves. Zongzi is said to be a tribute to Qu Yuan as well, as he was known for his love of rice. There are many different types of zongzi, with various fillings such as red bean, lotus seed, and meat.
People also wear a medicinal herb called mugwort on their wrists or ankles to ward off evil spirits and prevent diseases. Additionally, hanging calamus leaves and cinnamon sticks in the home is believed to bring good luck and health.
The Dragon Boat Festival is a time for families to come together, honor their ancestors, and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of China. These customs have been cherished for centuries and continue to be an integral part of the festival's celebration.
