The Dragon Boat Festival is an important traditional holiday in China, celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar each year. This festival originated in ancient China to commemorate the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was a literary figure and statesman from the State of Chu during the Warring States period. He was renowned for his passionate poetry and loyal patriotism. In order to honor Qu Yuan’s great spirit, grand Dragon Boat Festival celebrations are held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year.

The Dragon Boat Festival has many traditional customs, with the most famous one being the dragon boat races. Dragon boat races emulate the scene of searching for Qu Yuan’s body by rowing boats and have become one of the iconic features of the Dragon Boat Festival. Additionally, people hang mugwort and calamus to ward off evil spirits and prevent disease. They also wear scented sachets to pray for peace and good health. Another popular activity is making zongzi, where families gather together to make and enjoy these traditional sticky rice dumplings, adding to the festive atmosphere and joy.
