What is Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of China's traditional festivals. It originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and has a history of more than 2,000 years. Its main customs include dragon boat racing, eating rice dumplings, hanging mugwort and calamus, drinking realgar wine, etc. The Dragon Boat Festival is not only a festival of celebration and entertainment, but also has religious significance for worshiping gods and ancestors, praying for blessings and warding off evil spirits.

There are many theories about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival. The most widely-held one is the story of commemorating the poet Qu Yuan of the State of Chu. According to the "Historical Records", Qu Yuan jumped into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month and committed suicide. Later generations regarded this day as a festival to commemorate him. In addition, there are legends about commemorating historical figures such as Wu Zixu and Cao E.

The customs of the Dragon Boat Festival are rich and colorful. In addition to the above-mentioned dragon boat racing and eating rice dumplings, it also includes activities such as hanging calamus, mugwort, wearing sachets, and applying realgar to children. These customs are not only rich in cultural heritage, but also related to health and epidemic prevention and physical health. These customs have different forms of expression in different regions, but they all embody the cultural connotation and spiritual core of the Dragon Boat Festival.

In short, the Dragon Boat Festival is a folk festival that combines worshiping gods and ancestors, praying for blessings and warding off evil spirits, celebrating, entertaining, and eating. It is one of the ancient traditional festivals of the Chinese nation and is known as one of the four major traditional festivals in China along with the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival.
