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.

According to legend, the festival commemorates the death of Qu Yuan, a famous poet and statesman during the Warring States period. Qu Yuan drowned himself in the Miluo River after being exiled for his political beliefs. Local people raced out in boats to save him, but it was too late. To prevent fish from eating his body, they threw rice dumplings into the river. This is how the custom of eating zongzi, sticky rice dumplings, originated.
One of the most iconic customs of the Dragon Boat Festival is dragon boat racing. Teams of rowers compete in long boats, decorated with dragon heads and tails, while drummers and flag bearers encourage them. Another custom is wearing a medicinal herb called mugwort, believed to ward off evil spirits and insects.
People also hang calamus leaves and mugwort in their homes to protect against illness. It is also a time for family reunions and enjoying various traditional foods, such as zongzi, salted egg, and tea.
The Dragon Boat Festival is a time to honor the spirit of bravery and loyalty, as well as to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of China.
