Customs of Dragon Boat Festival in China
The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Duanwu Festival, is a traditional Chinese holiday that is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. One of the most significant events during this festival is the dragon boat race, a exhilarating sport that has been around for over 2,000 years.
Another important custom during the Dragon Boat Festival is the consumption of Zongzi, a traditional delicacy made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves and filled with different fillings, such as pork, mushrooms, or red bean paste. The preparation of Zongzi usually involves the whole family, and different regions of China have unique styles and flavors.
Additionally, people often decorate their homes with calamus and wormwood leaves, believed to have the power to ward off evil spirits and disease. There is also the practice of hanging aromatic sachets and wearing various types of amulets to protect oneself from harm.
Finally, the Dragon Boat Festival is also associated with the legend of Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet who drowned himself in the river after being exiled by the court during the Warring States period. In order to prevent fish and evil spirits from harming his body, people paddled their boats to the river in an attempt to retrieve his body and threw Zongzi into the water as a sacrificial offering. In modern times, Qu Yuan is revered as a cultural hero and poet, and people commemorate his life and legacy through various literary and artistic activities.
