The Dragon Boat Festival is a Chinese festival. It is on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month(农历).
It is a day to remember a great poet Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan loved his country deeply, but some bad people made the king hate him. Qu Yuan was very sad and jumped into the Miluo River. To save him, villagers rowed boats to look for him in the water. There were many fish in the river. The villagers threw zongzi into the river so that the fish wouldn't eat his body.
Today, people usually have a dragon boat race on that day. Dragon boats are very long. Usually, a dragon boat is 20 to 40 metres long. It looks like a dragon. It needs 20 people to row. Chinese people also make and eat rice dumplings with different shapes and tastes. We call them zongzi.
Besides zongzi and races, people hang mugwort on doors. Some people may drink realgar wine or eat salted duck eggs. Children wear colourful bracelets called "five-colour ropes", which mean good luck. It's also a time for families to get together.
