The Position of Dragon Boat Festival in Traditional Culture

The Dragon Boat Festival has lasted for more than two thousand years. Today, people in China closely associate activities such as dragon boat racing and eating zongzi with the commemoration of Qu Yuan. Integrating "dragon culture" into festivals has enriched people's spiritual life. However, the traditional culture and spirit of more and more festivals are being abandoned and crushed by the modernization trend and the operation of commercial capital. Therefore, we must realize that commemorative activities or festivals with real cultural connotations have long-term vitality. Eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival is not for "eating", but to commemorate Qu Yuan who loves his country and his people, and to remember that period of history.
