Dragon boat festival, often known as tuen ng festival or duan wu festival, is a traditional chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the chinese calendar. it is also known as the double fifth.[citation needed] it has since been celebrated, in various ways, in other parts of east asia as well, most notably korea.

The exact origins of duan wu are unclear, but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the chinese poet qu yuan of the warring states period. he committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the chu government. the local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fishes to prevent them from eating qu's body. they also sat on dragon boats, and tried to scare the fishes away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking dragon-head in the front of the boat.

In the early years of the chinese republic, duan wu was also celebrated as "poets' day", due to qu yuan's status as china's first poet of personal renown.

Today, people eat zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fishes) and race dragon boats in memory of qu's dramatic death.

Legend of the Dragon Boat Festival's Origin

At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the area we now know as China had fallen into a state of fragmentation and conflict. While the Zhou dynasty had ruled for several centuries, several other states, originally feudal domains, tried to carve out their own kingdoms. The state of Qin would eventually emerge the victor and unify all of China under one rule for the first time in history.

Qu Yuan served as minister to the Zhou Emperor. A wise and articulate man, he was loved by the common people. He did much to fight against the rampant corruption that plagued the court-- thereby earning the envy and fear of other officials. Therefore, when he urged the emperor to avoid conflict with the Qin Kingdom, the officials pressured the Emperor to have him removed from service. In exile, he traveled, taught and wrote for several years. Hearing that the Zhou had been defeated by the Qin, he fell into despair and threw himself into the Milou River. His last poem reads:

Many a heavy sigh I have in my despair,

Grieving that I was born in such an unlucky time.

I yoked a team of jade dragons to a phoenix chariot,

And waited for the wind to come,

to sour up on my journey

As he was so loved by the people, fishermen rushed out in long boats, beating drums to scare the fish away, and throwing zong zi into the water to feed braver fish so that they would not eat Qu Yuan's body.

The Modern Dragon Boat Festival started from that time to this day, people commemorated Qu Yuan through Dragon Boat Races, eating zong zi, and several other activities, on the anniversary of his death: the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

Dragon Boat races are the most exciting part of the festival, drawing crowds of spectators. Dragon Boats are generally brightly painted and decorated canoes. Ranging anywhere from 40 to 100 feet in length, their heads are shaped like open-mouthed dragons, while the sterns end with a scaly tail. Depending on the length, up to 80 rowers can power the boat. A drummer and flag-catcher stand at the front of the boat. Before a dragon boat enters competition, it must be "brought to life" by painting the eyes in a sacred ceremony. Races can have any number of boats competing, with the winner being the first team to grab a flag at the end of the course. Annual races take place all over China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and other overseas Chinese communities.

Today, grandma's house also wrapped zongzi. I took out two large and small zongzi leaves like Grandma, folded a corner like Grandma, put some soaked glutinous rice on the folded corner tube, stuffed a large piece of fat pork, and covered it with glutinous rice. I began to be a little complacent and thought: a simple zongzi can't help the smart me. But when I covered the Zongye again, the glutinous rice jumped out one after another like a naughty child. I was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Fortunately, my grandmother "solved the encirclement" for me - I lost some glutinous rice, so I breathed a sigh of relief and put down a heavy stone in my heart. After some small setbacks, I finally came to the last step - tying a palm rope. Rice dumplings need to be wrapped tightly to taste good, so I took the palm rope and tied the rice dumplings round and round, and then gave them to my grandmother. At this time, I realized that making zongzi is a craft. It's not easy to wrap it.

I feel that people commemorate Qu Yuan's great patriotism through various colorful activities, and the traditional customs of the Dragon Boat Festival have been formed over time. It contains the deep feelings of the people of the motherland and carries the gorgeous culture of the Chinese nation. It originated and developed in China. We should protect it, inherit it and let people all over the world know it.
