How many days is the legal holiday of Dragon Boat Festival?
Dragon Boat Festival is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, also called 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 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.
