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 is a time to honor Qu Yuan, a great poet who drowned himself in the river to protest against corruption. People eat zongzi, pyramid-shaped rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves, which symbolize respect for Qu Yuan. Dragon boat races are another important activity during this festival. Teams paddle furiously to race across rivers or lakes, with cheering crowds along the banks. This lively event not only keeps the memory of Qu Yuan alive but also strengthens community spirit. The Dragon Boat Festival is a meaningful celebration filled with history, culture, and joy.
