The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the traditional Chinese festivals. It falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. The Dragon Boat Festival originated in ancient China to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. People usually eat zongzi, hang mugwort and calamus, hold dragon boat races and fly kites on this day. Eating zongzi is an important custom during the Dragon Boat Festival. This steamed food made of glutinous rice, meat and other fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves has rich cultural connotations. Dragon boat racing is a traditional competitive activity in which people race dragon boats across rivers or lakes to commemorate the story of Qu Yuan's drowning and rescue. The Dragon Boat Festival, which is also listed as a national holiday, is an important cultural festival, and its rich and diverse activities allow people to feel the charm of traditional Chinese culture.
