Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Double Fifth Festival, is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. It falls on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese lunar calendar. The Dragon Boat Festival has a long history of more than 2,000 years. According to legend, it commemorates Qu Yuan (340-278 BC), a great patriotic poet and minister in ancient China who drowned himself in a river out of despair for his country's future. On hearing this news, people raced out on boats to save him but failed. Since then people have been racing dragon boats in memory of Qu Yuan every year on this day. On Dragon Boat Festival, people eat zongzi (glutinous rice dumplings) and drink realgar wine for protection against evil spirits and disease throughout the year. People also hang calamus and wormwood on their doors to keep away bad luck or misfortune and hold dragon boat races throughout the country to celebrate this special occasion. Dragon Boat Festival is an important part of Chinese culture that has been passed down from generation to generation over thousands of years. It is not only an occasion for family reunions but also a time for us to remember our ancestors and their contribution to our nation’s heritage.
