Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most important traditional Chinese festivals, also known as Duanwu Festival. It falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, and this year it falls on June 14th. The festival is celebrated for three main aspects, including dragon boat racing, eating zongzi, and hanging calamus and wormwood. Firstly, dragon boat racing is the most popular activity during the Dragon Boat Festival. In ancient times, dragon boat racing was a ritual of worshiping the dragon spirit, and it was believed that racing the boats would prevent diseases and bring good luck. Nowadays, dragon boat racing has become a sport and a cultural activity. It attracts thousands of audiences to watch the fierce competition and the teams paddling in unison with their dragon-shaped boats. Secondly, eating zongzi is a traditional custom during the Dragon Boat Festival. Zongzi is a kind of rice dumpling, wrapped in bamboo leaves with different fillings, such as red bean paste, pork, and egg yolk. The shape of zongzi is like a pyramid, which is derived from the legend of Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet who drowned himself in the river on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. To prevent the fish from eating his body, people threw zongzi into the river to feed the fish and protect his body. Lastly, hanging calamus and wormwood is a folk custom during the Dragon Boat Festival. Calamus and wormwood are two traditional herbs with a strong fragrance that can dispel insects and purify the air. People hang them on doors, windows, and cars to prevent diseases and evil spirits from entering their homes. In conclusion, the Dragon Boat Festival is an important occasion for people to show their respect and gratitude to their ancestors, and to celebrate the culture and traditions of their country. The festival is an opportunity for families and friends to get together, exchange gifts, and enjoy various activities, such as dragon boat racing, eating zongzi, and hanging calamus and wormwood. This is a great time to experience Chinese culture and learn more about the customs and traditions of this ancient and fascinating country.
