Which country is the Dragon Boat Festival?

Dragon Boat Festival is a festival in China.

Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in China, which falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year. According to the Chronicle of Jingchu, it is midsummer when the sun is on the mountain and it is midsummer in May. Its first afternoon is a sunny day to climb mountains in the sun, so the fifth day of May is also called "Duanyang Festival". There is no doubt about this, but in 2005, the "Dragon Boat Festival in Tingling" declared by South Korea was officially recognized by UNESCO as "a masterpiece of human oral and intangible heritage".

In the cultural war between China and South Korea to snatch the Dragon Boat Festival, South Korea won a total victory. Celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional custom of China people for more than 2,000 years. This festival was "snatched away" by South Korea, which fully shows that China people have long been indifferent to their traditional culture, and the official turned a blind eye to this indifference, which is even more difficult to blame. In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival is also called "Noon Festival, May Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Bathing Orchid Festival, Poet's Festival" and so on. Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional cultural festival popular in China and other countries in the Chinese character cultural circle.

The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival

In the field of folk culture, China people associate activities such as dragon boat racing and eating zongzi with commemorating Qu Yuan. However, Mr. Wen Yiduo believes that the Dragon Boat Festival really originated from the worship and sacrifice of the dragon totem by Yue ancestors through the textual research of Qi Xuhe, Custom Tong and Jingchu Chronicle. Legend has it that people in wuyue (now Jiangsu and Zhejiang) in the south of ancient China considered themselves descendants of the dragon, and held a ceremony to worship the dragon totem on the fifth day of May every year, in order to achieve good weather and abundant crops.
