Title: The Origin of Dragon Boat Festival
The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It has a rich history and is filled with various customs and activities.
The festival's origin dates back to the Warring States period (475-221 BC). It is said that the festival was established to commemorate the poet and statesman Qu Yuan, who drowned himself in the Miluo River after being betrayed and exiled by his country. Local people raced dragon boats to save him, and they threw rice dumplings into the river to keep fish from eating his body.
Today, the Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated with dragon boat races, eating zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), and hanging mugwort and calamus on doors. It is also a time for families to gather and enjoy the festive atmosphere.
The dragon boat races are the most famous activity of the festival. Teams of rowers compete in long, narrow boats, with a dragon head and tail at the front and back. The races are accompanied by drumming and singing, creating a thrilling and exciting atmosphere.
Zongzi, the traditional food of the festival, is made of sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. There are many different types of zongzi, filled with ingredients like red bean, meat, and egg. It is believed that eating zongzi can bring good luck and health.
The Dragon Boat Festival is not only a time to remember the past but also a time to celebrate Chinese culture and tradition. It is a day filled with joy, unity, and respect for the past.
