Feifei wishes everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival in advance😁😘😘😙🌹 The Dragon Boat Festival is held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year, also known as the Duanyang Festival, May Festival, and Five-Day Festival... Before the Spring and Autumn Period, the Dragon Boat Festival was a festival to cure diseases and prevent epidemics. Later, because the patriotic poet Qu Yuan died for his country on this day, it evolved into a festival for the Chinese Han people to pay homage to Qu Yuan and to remember the noble feelings of the Chinese nation. It has been followed to this day. Qu Yuan's fame has been immortalized, and the patriotic spirit has spread to all parts of China. However, there are exceptions. The Dragon Boat Festival in the Soochow area has never commemorated Qu Yuan, but commemorated Wu Zixu who was thrown into the river on May 5th. In addition, the customs of dragon boat racing and tribal totem sacrifices on this day in the Wuyue area predate the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Dragon Boat Festival, there are customs of eating rice dumplings, racing dragon boats, hanging calamus, mugwort, mugwort leaves, smoking atractylodes and angelica, and drinking realgar wine. The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the national statutory holidays and is included in the World Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Dragon Boat Racing Dragon boat racing is the main custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. According to legend, it originated from the ancient Chu people who were reluctant to leave their virtuous minister Qu Yuan and threw himself into the river. Many people rowed boats to chase and save him. They scrambled to catch up and disappeared when they reached Dongting Lake. After that, dragon boat racing was held every May 5th to commemorate the event. He rowed dragon boats to disperse the fish in the river to prevent them from eating Qu Yuan's body. The custom of racing was popular in Wu, Yue and Chu.
