Dragon Boat Festival is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, also known as Duanyang Festival, Noon Festival and May Festival. "Dragon Boat Festival" is one of the national legal holidays in China, and has been included in the world intangible cultural heritage list.

Dragon Boat Festival originated in China. It was originally a festival for China people to get rid of diseases and prevent epidemics. Before the Spring and Autumn Period in Wuyue, there was a custom of holding tribal totem sacrifices in the form of dragon boat races on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Later, because the poet Qu Yuan died on this day, it became a traditional festival for the Han people in China to commemorate Qu Yuan. In some areas, Wu Zixu and Cao E are also commemorated. On the Dragon Boat Festival, there are customs of eating zongzi, drinking realgar wine, hanging calamus, wormwood, wormwood leaves, smoked atractylodes rhizome, angelica dahurica and dragon boat racing.

The word "Duan" means "the beginning", so "Duan Wu" means "the fifth day". According to the calendar, May is the noon month, so the Dragon Boat Festival has gradually evolved into the Dragon Boat Festival. 《? "The Chronology of Yanjing's Age" records: "The fifth day is the fifth day of May, and Gaiduan is transliterated."
