Duanwu Festival, also known as Dragon Boat Festival, is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month. Here are some of the customs and activities associated with the festival, translated into English:

1. Dragon Boat Racing - This is the most famous activity of the Duanwu Festival. Teams of rowers compete in long boats, with a decorated dragon head at the front. The boats race on rivers or lakes, and the event is accompanied by drumming and songs.
2. Eating Zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) - Zongzi are pyramid-shaped dumplings made of glutinous rice, often stuffed with different fillings such as red bean paste, meat, or dates. They are traditionally wrapped in bamboo leaves and cooked in water.
3. Wearing Periwinkle Leaves - Periwinkle leaves are believed to have protective properties against evil spirits. People often wear them as a charm or tie them around their wrists.
4. Drinking Realgar Wine - Realgar wine is a traditional drink made by infusing wine with realgar, a bright red mineral. It is believed to ward off illness and evil spirits.
5. Hanging Calamus and Mugwort - Calamus and mugwort are two types of herbs that are hung in the home during the festival. They are believed to have medicinal properties and protect against illness.
6. Carving Dragon Eggs - Dragon eggs are intricately carved from eggs, often with intricate designs and symbols. They are given as gifts and are believed to bring good luck.
7. Dragon Dance - Similar to the dragon boat race, the dragon dance involves a long, flexible dragon made of bamboo and paper. Dancers perform a series of movements while the dragon moves along the ground, symbolizing the dragon's dance in the sky.
These activities are part of the rich cultural heritage of the Duanwu Festival and are celebrated across China and in Chinese communities around the world.
