The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month. Its origins can be traced back to the 3rd century BC, during the Warring States period.
The festival is primarily commemorated in memory of Qu Yuan, a loyal minister of the state of Chu during the Warring States period. Qu Yuan was known for his patriotism and moral integrity. When he was betrayed and exiled by his own king, he was deeply distressed and wrote many poems expressing his sorrow and loyalty to his country. Tragically, on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, Qu Yuan drowned himself in the Miluo River in protest against the corruption and injustice of his time.
To honor Qu Yuan's memory and prevent fish from eating his body, local people raced dragon boats and threw zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) into the river. The dragon boat races have since become a major part of the festival, symbolizing the search for Qu Yuan's body. Zongzi, which are often wrapped in bamboo leaves, are a traditional food associated with the festival, believed to bring good luck and health.
In summary, the Dragon Boat Festival is a time to remember the loyal and patriotic spirit of Qu Yuan, celebrate traditional culture, and enjoy activities such as dragon boat races and zongzi-making.
