The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, has several traditional customs in Chinese culture. Here are some of them in English:

1. Dragon Boat Racing: This is the most famous custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. Teams of rowers compete in long boats, which are decorated with dragon motifs, while drummers and flag bearers encourage them.
2. Eating Zongzi: Zongzi, or sticky rice dumplings, are a must-eat food during the Dragon Boat Festival. They are usually stuffed with different fillings like red bean, lotus seed, or meat, and wrapped in bamboo leaves.
3. Wearing Periwinkle Leaves: People often wear periwinkle leaves, which are believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck.
4. Drinking Realgar Wine: Realgar wine, made with realgar (a red or orange mineral), is believed to have medicinal properties and is consumed to prevent diseases.
5. Hanging Calamus: Calamus, a type of herb, is hung in the house to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune.
6. Carving Dragon Eggs: Dragon eggs, made of clay or other materials, are carved into intricate dragon shapes and displayed as decorations.
7. Lighting Incense: Incense is burned to honor ancestors and deities, and to purify the air.
8. Wearing a Five-Color String: A string made of five different colors (usually red, yellow, green, white, and black) is tied around the wrist or ankle to protect against evil spirits.
These customs vary across different regions in China, but they all contribute to the rich cultural heritage of the Dragon Boat Festival.
