Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. It’s for Qu Yuan. He is an honest minister who is said to kill himself by jumping into a river. People have dragon boat races, especially in the southern places where there are many rivers and lakes, eat zongzi and carry a spice bag (香囊) with them on that day.
Spice Bag
It is believed that if you carry the small spice bag with you, it not only makes evil spirits away but also brings good luck and happiness to those who wear it. The small spice bags are made by hand. They’re made of red, yellow, green and blue silk or cotton. The most common pictures on the bags are animals, flowers and fruits. They’re mixed with traditional Chinese medicines.
Dragon Boat Race
Dragon Boat Festival is best known for the Dragon Boat Race. A dragon boat is shaped like a dragon and is painted in red, white, yellow and black. These boats are long and thin with dragon heads. The boat races are said to represent the search for Qu Yuan’s body. Some people are beating drums, waving flags, cheering on both sides of the river when other people are taking part in dragon - boat races. Now it’s popular all over the world. Why are the foreigners interested in it? That’s one of the reasons that there is such great team spirit in a dragon boat team—everybody feels like we’re doing something special.
The Culture of Zongzi
Qu Yuan drowned (淹死) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 278 BC. Since then, Chinese people threw dumplings made of glutinous rice wrapped (包裹) in bamboo leaves into the water. Therefore the fish would eat the rice rather than Qu Yuan. Later on it turned into the custom of eating zongzi.
