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.

The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival dates back to the Warring States period, around 221 BC. The festival is in memory of Qu Yuan, a loyal minister who drowned himself in the Miluo River after being betrayed and exiled by the king. Local people raced dragon boats to save him, and ever since, the festival has been celebrated to honor his sacrifice.
One of the most famous customs of the Dragon Boat Festival is dragon boat racing. Teams of rowers compete in long boats shaped like dragons, with a dragon head and tail at both ends. The races are accompanied by drumming and singing, creating a festive atmosphere.
Another important custom is eating zongzi, sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves. Zongzi come in various shapes and fillings, symbolizing prosperity and happiness. It is believed that eating zongzi can ward off evil spirits and bring good luck.
People also wear a herb called mugwort and artemisia on their wrists or hang them in their homes to ward off illness and bad luck. The festival is a time for family reunions, and people often visit their ancestors' graves to pay their respects.
The Dragon Boat Festival is a time for reflection on the past and appreciation of the present. It is a celebration of Chinese culture and tradition, and it continues to be cherished by people across the nation.
