The custom of Hui people celebrating Dragon Boat Festival

The Hui people in the East imitate the Han people and eat zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival. The Hui people in the northwest do not celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.

The Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is one of the biggest traditional festivals in China. Dragon Boat Festival is also called Dragon Boat Festival, which means the same as Wu Chu's, just like the fifth day. The word "five" in the Dragon Boat Festival is also connected with "noon". According to the order of earthly branches, May is "noon" month.

Because noon is the "sun", the Dragon Boat Festival is also called "Duanyang". On May 5th, both the month and the day are five, so calling five is also called noon. The customs of the Dragon Boat Festival mainly include: eating zongzi, putting moxa or calamus on the door to exorcise evil spirits, tying long life wisps, drinking realgar wine or disinfection, and racing dragon boats.

Zongzi is also called "Jiao Shu" and "Zongzi". The former is named for its angular appearance and glutinous rice inside, while the latter is probably filled with rice in bamboo tubes.
