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 date back to the Warring States period, around 221-206 BC. The festival commemorates the death of Qu Yuan, a loyal minister who drowned himself in the Miluo River after being betrayed by his ruler. Local people raced dragon boats to save him, and ever since, the festival has been associated with dragon boat races. The day also includes activities like eating zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), wearing jade amulets, and hanging mugwort and calamus to ward off evil spirits. This celebration of heritage and respect for culture has been recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

After being exiled and witnessing the fall of his kingdom, Qu Yuan drowned himself in the Miluo River. The local people raced their dragon boats in search of him, and thus, the festival was born. The customs of dragon boat races, eating zongzi, and hanging certain herbs are believed to prevent evil spirits and to pay tribute to the hero's sacrifice.
