When is the Dragon Boat Festival every year?

There are many traditional festivals in China. Sometimes, when my brain is short-circuited, I can't remember which holiday is the date of the month. Actually, this is normal. Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Zongzi Festival, is a traditional folk festival in China. Dragon boat racing and eating zongzi are two major customs of the Dragon Boat Festival. These two customs have been passed down in China since ancient times, and they are the first festivals in China to be selected into the world.

According to the timing method, it is considered that the first month of the lunar calendar (that is, the first month of the lunar calendar) is the beginning of the summer calendar, and May is noon, so the fifth day is also called noon. Lei Han in Yu 'an period of Ming Dynasty quoted records in local chronicles: "The end and beginning of the Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer is also called the fifth day of May." This day is also known as the heavy noon, also known as Duanyang, which means that Yang begins to flourish, and it is also known as Pujie. "The Origin of Things" quotes "The Chronicle of Jingchu's Age": "On May 5th, it was sunny, and the cloud festival was heavy in the afternoon." Mid-afternoon is also called Dragon Boat Festival. Jia Qinglu quoted the Chronicle of Jingchu as saying that May 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th are its capital.
